See how comments lower your CPMCPM = (Ad Spend ÷ Impressions) × 1,000
CPM (cost per mille) is the price of reaching 1,000 people. It is the cleanest way to compare the cost of attention across campaigns, audiences, and platforms, because it strips out clicks and conversions and isolates pure reach cost.
But CPM is not just a reporting number, it is the input cost of your entire funnel. Lower it, and the savings flow all the way down to your cost per lead and customer acquisition cost. That is why it is worth obsessing over, and why the comment section under your ads (the most underrated CPM lever) matters more than most advertisers realize.
