What the result means

Calculate cost per thousand impressions, forecast reach from budget, and evaluate whether your impression cost is efficient. The result is an estimate for planning and comparison. It is not a guarantee of platform performance, revenue, or profitability.

Formula

CPM = Ad Spend ÷ Impressions × 1,000. Forecast Impressions = Budget ÷ CPM × 1,000.

Optimization tips

  • Compare actual performance with a clear target before scaling budget.
  • Improve creative, audience quality, and landing page relevance before increasing spend.
  • Track both cost metrics and revenue metrics so low costs do not hide weak profitability.
  • Use scenario comparisons to estimate the value of small improvements.
