Tips for optimizing your CPL
Track CPL by channel, not just blended
A blended CPL hides underperforming channels. Break it down so you can double down on what works and cut what doesn't.
Factor in lead quality, not just volume
A channel with a higher CPL might deliver leads that convert at 3x the rate. Pair CPL data with conversion and deal-size metrics for the full picture.
Revisit channel mix quarterly
Market conditions, seasonality, and audience fatigue shift CPL over time. Re-run your numbers every quarter to keep spend aligned with results.
