Benchmark observations based on the selected data
Construction Cost Per Lead (CPL) in the aggregate tracked above the global baseline for much of the year but moved with sharper swings. This analysis is based on $3B worth of advertising data from our dataset, which provides strong directional benchmarks. This analysis explores ad performance trends for Construction in All Countries compared to the global benchmark.
The Construction CPL started at about $50.63 in July 2025 and finished at $38.95 in July 2026 — a net decline of roughly 23%. Across the 13-month window the median CPL averaged approximately $50.86 for Construction (All Countries), with a high of about $64.13 in June 2026 and a low of $38.95 in July 2026. By contrast, the global baseline averaged near $44.10, peaking at roughly $53.22 (February 2026) and bottoming at $20.82 (July 2026).
Key monthly moves read like a series of lifts and drops: early autumn saw a pullback from $50.63 (Jul) to $43.73 (Aug), followed by a rise into September ($53.16). Late-year activity included a November bump to ~$54.60 and a December dip to ~$47.24. Calendar-year momentum accelerated into January 2026 ($57.20) before a sharp February correction (~$44.53). Spring was relatively steady, then May–June 2026 produced the biggest surge (May ~$63.73; June ~$64.13), immediately followed by a dramatic July drop of ~$25.18 (−39% month-over-month).
Volatility was material: average absolute month-to-month movement for Construction was about $8.03, versus roughly $4.69 for the global baseline — indicating roughly 70% greater month-to-month variability in Construction CPLs.
Seasonal rhythm shows several patterns. Late Q3 to Q4 moves were choppy — a decline into August, recovery into September and a November lift — suggesting demand-driven competition in autumn months. The early-Q1 lift into January 2026 is visible, followed by a Q1 correction. The pronounced spike across May–June 2026 and the cliff-like fall in July 2026 interrupt smoother seasonal patterns and create a late-summer trough. The baseline series also exhibits a steep July decline, but the baseline’s low in July 2026 (≈$20.82) is an outsized outlier compared with the Construction aggregate.
Across the period, Construction CPLs were above the global baseline on average — about 15% higher versus the global mean. At the starting point (Jul 2025) Construction was ~18% above baseline; at the end (Jul 2026) it was ~87% above baseline because the baseline plunged more steeply in that final month. Relative gaps fluctuated month-to-month: at times the Construction premium narrowed (e.g., late 2025), and at others it widened markedly around the May–July 2026 swings. Overall, Construction displayed a higher magnitude of swings and more pronounced momentum shifts than the global benchmark.

Facebook advertising cost benchmarks
Facebook advertising costs vary by industry, target audience, ad placement, and campaign objective. In the Construction industry, Facebook ad costs can be influenced by seasonal trends and market competition. Geographic targeting affects ad costs through regional competition and user engagement. Campaign objectives affect costs because Facebook optimizes delivery for different goals. The data shows median values across multiple campaigns. Results can vary with ad quality, audience targeting, and campaign optimization.
A small share of campaigns has extremely high CPL values. Those outliers can inflate an average. The median is the midpoint across campaigns, so it better represents a typical result.
The data shows industry median benchmarks. Costs can vary with targeting, creative quality, and campaign optimization.

The dataset includes over $3B in Facebook ad spend from thousands of ad accounts that use Superads to analyze and improve campaigns. Every data point is anonymized and aggregated. It does not expose an individual advertiser.
The dataset updates as new ad data is available.
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.
Weak creative, irrelevant targeting, or an offer that does not resonate can raise CPL. Low engagement or poor landing-page conversion rates can also increase costs.
Yes. Campaigns optimized for conversions or leads tend to generate less expensive, more qualified leads than traffic or engagement objectives. Facebook uses the optimization signal to find users.
Improve the offer, target the right audience, and use high-converting creative. Test native lead forms while continuing to qualify users.
For sales or revenue goals, optimize for deeper-funnel conversions. Optimizing for leads alone can increase volume while reducing quality.
