How it works

CPC = Ad spend ÷ Clicks

CPC (Cost per Click) is the rupee price of one click in the auction. It's driven by keyword competition, match type, and quality score. High CPC isn't inherently bad — it's only a problem if downstream conversion doesn't justify it. Always read CPC alongside CPA and ROAS.

When to use it

Use CPC to diagnose auction pressure. Sudden CPC spikes usually mean a new competitor entered your category. Use the break-even CPC calculator to know your max-bid ceiling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a typical CPC on Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart?

Branded keywords: ₹2-5. Generic category: ₹5-12. Competitive generic: ₹12-22. Zepto tends to have 10-20% higher CPCs than Blinkit for the same keyword due to thinner advertiser pool.

Why is my CPC rising?

Most common cause: a new competitor entered the auction. Also possible: your quality score dropped (listing issues, declining CTR), or a larger player shifted budget to your category. Audit competitor activity and your own listing health.

Should I just cap my CPC?

Yes, but at the right number. Your max CPC should be your break-even CPC (gross margin per order × conversion rate). Use the break-even CPC calculator to compute it.
