FAQs

A CPA report should include visibility metrics such as impressions, reach, and views; engagement metrics like likes, comments, and shares; conversion metrics such as click-through rates, conversions, and cost per conversion. The data should be segmented by campaign, channel (e.g., social media platforms), audience demographics, content types (e.g., images, videos), objectives (e.g., brand awareness, lead generation), and date ranges. For instance, providing the number of impressions for a specific campaign on Instagram, the conversion rate for a Facebook ad targeting the age group of 25-34, or the engagement metrics for a video content post on YouTube.
To analyze CPA data, follow these steps: 1) Choose metrics: Breakdown visibility (impressions, reach), engagement (clicks, likes), and conversion metrics (conversions, sales). 2) Add context: Compare against cost (cost per impression, cost per click), date range (week, month), goals (ROAS, ROI), rates (CTR, conversion rate), benchmarks (industry, competitor). 3) Segment data: Analyze by campaign (summer sale, holiday promotion), channel (Facebook ads, email marketing), audience (age, location), content (video, blog post), objective (brand awareness, lead generation), and date (day, hour). For example, compare the CTR of a Facebook ad campaign targeting young adults with the industry benchmark for similar campaigns.
To build a CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) dashboard, 1) connect your data and accounts from platforms like Google Ads or Facebook Ads. 2) Select metrics such as total cost, total conversions, and CPA. 3) Segment data by campaign, channel, audience, product, customer content, objective, and date to understand where acquisitions are coming from. 4) Add filters or buttons for metrics like date range or campaign type to make your report interactive. 5) Share your CPA dashboard via PDF, scheduled emails, or links for easy access and review.
