  • The selected trend shows pronounced volatility with a sharp summer spike (June 2025), while the global baseline is steadier and exhibits the typical Q4 uptick.
  • Seasonality diverges: the global series rises in Q4, but the selected series dips to its lowest point in November 2024, then climbs substantially into mid-2025.

What the selected trend shows

This analysis looks at cost-per-lead trends for industry Agriculture and target country Canada compared to the global trend.

  • Coverage: Sep 2024–Aug 2025 (7 reported months).
  • Average: 16.05.
  • High/low: high of 33.76 in June 2025; low of 3.80 in November 2024 (an 8.9× swing from trough to peak).

How it compares to the global baseline

For an apples-to-apples comparison, we align the same months in the global baseline.

  • Average (aligned months): 36.93 vs 16.05 selected (selected is ~57% below market).
  • High/low (aligned months): high of 41.58 in November 2024; low of 31.12 in October 2024 (global range is far tighter).
  • Start-to-end change (Sep 2024→Aug 2025): +12.6% for the baseline vs +247% for the selected series.
  • Volatility (aligned intervals): median absolute change ~4.8% globally vs 37% in the selected series, indicating the selected data is considerably more erratic.
  • Month-by-month positioning:
  • Sep 2024: −79% vs global
  • Oct 2024: −73%
  • Nov 2024: −91%
  • Feb 2025: −85%
  • Jun 2025: −12%
  • Jul 2025: −24%
  • Aug 2025: −35%

The gap narrows materially in summer 2025 (June–August) but remains below market throughout.

Understanding the Data

Insights & analysis of Facebook advertising costs

Facebook advertising costs vary based on many factors including industry, target audience, ad placement, and campaign objectives. In the Agriculture industry, Facebook ad costs can be influenced by seasonal trends and market competition. For campaigns targeting Canada, advertisers should consider local market factors and user behavior. Different campaign objectives lead to varying costs based on how Facebook optimizes for your specific goals. The data shown represents median values across multiple campaigns, and individual results may vary based on ad quality, audience targeting, and campaign optimization.

Why we use median instead of average

We use the median CTR because the underlying distribution of click-through rates is highly skewed, with a small share of campaigns achieving extremely high CTRs. These outliers can inflate a simple average, making it less representative of what most advertisers actually experience. By using the median—which sits at the midpoint of all campaigns—we provide a more rigorous and realistic benchmark that reflects the true underlying data model and helps you set attainable performance expectations.

Key Factors Affecting Facebook Ad Costs

  • Competition within your selected industry and audience demographics
  • Ad quality and relevance score – higher quality ads can lower costs
  • Campaign objective and bid strategy
  • Timing and seasonality – costs often increase during holiday periods
  • Ad placement (News Feed, Instagram, Audience Network, etc.)

Note: This data represents industry median values and benchmarks. Your actual costs may vary based on specific targeting, ad creative quality, and campaign optimization.

What is considered a good cost per lead on Facebook in 2025?

A good CPL usually ranges from $10 to $50, depending on your industry and target audience. B2C offers tend to be cheaper, while B2B or high-ticket services may see CPLs over $100.

Why is my CPL higher than industry averages?

Your CPL could be high due to weak creative, irrelevant targeting, or an offer that doesn't resonate. Low engagement or poor conversion rates on your landing page can also drive up costs.

Does campaign objective impact CPL?

Yes. Campaigns optimized for conversions or leads tend to generate cheaper and more qualified leads compared to traffic or engagement objectives. Facebook needs clear signals to find the right users.

How can I generate leads at a lower cost without hurting lead quality?

Focus on improving your offer, targeting the right audience, and using high-converting creative. Test native lead forms, but make sure you're still qualifying users properly.

Should I optimize for leads or conversions if my goal is pipeline growth?

If your goal is sales or revenue, optimizing for deeper funnel conversions is better. Optimizing for leads alone can inflate volume but hurt quality.
