Reach is approximated as impressions ÷ 2.5 average frequency; platforms de-duplicate differently.

ROAS assumes every lead converts at your average lead value — adjust for your real close rate.

Social Ad Budgeting Basics

What drives the cost — and the results — of social media advertising.

Pricing by Platform

CPMs range from about $6 on Pinterest to $30 on LinkedIn. Cheaper impressions do not always mean cheaper leads — conversion rate matters just as much.

Choosing a Platform

Match the platform to your audience: Facebook and Instagram for broad reach, TikTok for younger consumers, LinkedIn for B2B, Pinterest for visual products.

CPM Differences

CPM is the price per 1,000 impressions and the foundation of social ad cost. It rises with audience competition, targeting precision, and seasonality.

Creative & Targeting

Creative and targeting move your CTR and conversion rate more than budget alone. Strong creative can cut cost per lead in half on the same spend.

Organic vs Paid

Organic social builds long-term community at low cost but limited reach; paid social delivers fast, scalable, measurable results. Most brands use both.

Scaling Spend

Once a campaign hits your target cost per lead, scale budget gradually — 20–30% increases — so the algorithm can re-optimize without losing efficiency.
