Use this Google Ads Lead Calculator to forecast clicks, leads, customers, revenue, and cost per lead from your paid search budget before launching or scaling a campaign.
This calculator forecasts lead volume and customer volume from paid traffic. It helps decide whether the budget is enough for your lead target.
Lead quantity does not guarantee profit. Use CPA, ROAS, and ROI calculators to check downstream economics.
With a $2,000 budget, $2 CPC, 8% conversion rate, and 25% close rate, the campaign may generate 1,000 clicks, 80 leads, and 20 customers.
Divide budget by CPC to estimate clicks, then multiply clicks by landing page conversion rate.
Use expected budget, CPC, landing page conversion rate, and lead quality assumptions to forecast lead volume.
A good CPL is one that allows profitable customer acquisition after considering close rate and customer value.
Budget needed equals target leads multiplied by cost per lead, or target leads divided by conversion rate and multiplied by CPC.
Increase relevant traffic, improve landing page conversion, tighten targeting, and strengthen your offer.
