Quite Simply The Cost Per Lead…
Knowing your cost per lead(CPL) is important because it allows you to determine the efficiency and effectiveness of your marketing and advertising campaigns. By determining the CPL you can identify which campaigns are most cost-effective and allocate resources accordingly. Additionally, having a clear understanding of your cost per lead can help you set realistic budgets for future campaigns and make informed decisions about scaling up or cutting back on certain initiatives. Overall, it is a key metric for measuring the ROI (return on investment) of your marketing efforts.
To figure out your cost per lead, you will need to do the following:
- Determine your total marketing and advertising expenses for a specific time period (e.g. month, quarter, year). This should include any expenses related to generating leads, such as website design and maintenance, social media advertising, pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns, etc
. - Count the number of leads generated during that same time period. A lead is defined as a person who has shown interest in your product or service and provided their contact information but has not yet made a purchase.
- Divide your total marketing and advertising expenses by the number of leads generated. This will give you your cost per lead.
For example, if your marketing and advertising expenses for a month were £5,000 and you generated 50 leads during that month, your cost per lead would be £100 (£5,000 / 50 leads = £100 per lead).
Keep in mind that this is just a rough estimate of your CPL To get a more accurate picture, you may want to break down your marketing and advertising expenses by campaign or channel and calculate the cost per lead for each one. This will allow you to see which campaigns or channels are the most cost-effective at generating leads. Google offers loads of information on the subject but never about how to optimise what you are doing.
