What moves the price

  • Bid strategy — CPM, CPC, or oCPC changes what you pay and when.
  • Conversation competition — popular buyer contexts cost more.
  • Ad relevance — tighter context hints and creatives improve delivery efficiency.
  • Market — eligibility and auction depth differ by country.

How to budget a test

Start with your target CPA and conversion rate. If a click costs ~$4 and your landing page converts at 2.5%, one lead costs ~$160 — so 2–3 leads per day needs a daily budget of roughly $320–$480. Plug your own numbers into the budget calculator for a proper frame.
