Cost Per Lead (CPL) measures the cost incurred to generate a new lead from marketing efforts. It calculates the economic value of each lead generated, helping businesses assess the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns.
CPL is calculated by dividing the total costs associated with a marketing campaign by the number of leads generated from that campaign.
CPL = Total Campaign Costs / Number of Leads
CPL = Total Campaign Costs / Number of Leads
If a campaign has a budget of $1,000 and generates 100 leads, the CPL is $10 per lead.

A good CPL varies by industry but is typically one that aligns with the company's profitability goals. It reflects efficient use of marketing budgets to generate high-quality leads.
A CPL that exceeds the average cost for the industry or fails to correspond with the lead quality can indicate ineffective marketing strategies or overspending.
Concentrate your efforts and resources on marketing channels that historically produce quality leads at a lower CPL.
Implement better lead qualification processes to ensure that the leads you pay for are likely to convert, thereby lowering your CPL.
