Performance
Metrics appear automatically as you enter enough inputs on the left — nothing is guessed or filled in.
Compare your performance
Compared against LocaliQ's Search Advertising benchmark dataset (Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising Search campaigns, combined) — not a Google-Ads-exclusive figure.
Benchmarks are directional context from third-party aggregated data, not guaranteed performance targets. Actual results vary by business, market conditions, and campaign execution.
How each metric is calculated
- CTR (click-through rate)
- Clicks ÷ Impressions × 100
- CPC (cost per click)
- Ad spend ÷ Clicks
- CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions)
- Ad spend ÷ Impressions × 1,000
- Conversion rate
- Conversions ÷ Clicks × 100
- CPA (cost per conversion)
- Ad spend ÷ Conversions
- ROAS (return on ad spend)
- Revenue ÷ Ad spend
- Shown as a multiple, e.g. 4.00x means $4 of revenue per $1 spent.
Worked example: a $1,500 search campaign
With $1,500 ad spend, 50,000 impressions, 2,000 clicks, 80 conversions and $6,000 revenue, the calculator shows CTR 4.00%, CPC $0.75, CPM $30.00, conversion rate 4.00%, CPA $18.75 and ROAS 4.00x. Leave revenue blank and only ROAS changes to “—”; every other metric still calculates.
Assumptions and limitations
- Each metric needs both of its inputs. A blank, negative or non-numeric input, or a zero denominator, shows “—” instead of a guessed number.
- Results are rounded to two decimal places for display. Inputs are not checked against each other, so a click count higher than impressions gives a CTR above 100%.
- All figures are treated as one currency; the $ sign is a label and nothing is converted.
- Industry comparison uses the LocaliQ 2026 search advertising figures (Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising, Search Network combined, region not stated by the source). Display, video and other non-search campaigns are not part of that dataset, so compare them with the display benchmarks instead.
- Your CPA is compared with the industry cost per lead. That is like-for-like only when your conversions are leads; for purchases or sign-ups treat the difference as context, not a target.
- CPM and ROAS have no benchmark in the source, so they are calculated but never compared.
