Detailed observation of presented data

Facebook Ads cost-per-lead benchmarks: key takeaways

  • This analysis looks at cost-per-lead trends for industry Consumer Goods and target country Brazil compared to the global trend; the analysis is based on $3B worth of advertising data from our dataset, which provides strong directional benchmarks.
  • Overall level: Brazil Consumer Goods’ median cost-per-lead (CPL) averaged 1,017.74 across observed months, about 28x the global baseline average for the same months (36.27). That places Brazil Consumer Goods well above market.
  • Volatility: Extremely high in the selected data (≈399% average period-over-period absolute change across observed months) versus a much steadier global trend (≈12.6% month-to-month).
  • Seasonality: Clear Q4 spike (December peak), followed by sharp declines through Q1 and a rebound by May. This aligns with typical holiday-period inflation in Q4 seen globally.

What the Brazil Consumer Goods series shows

  • Coverage: 6 monthly medians observed (Oct 2024–May 2025; no data for Nov 2024 and Apr 2025).
  • Average: 1,017.74. Median values ranged from a low of 6.31 (Mar 2025) to a high of 5,356.34 (Dec 2024), a very wide spread.
  • First-to-last change: From 450.62 (Oct 2024) to 48.11 (May 2025), down about 89%.
  • Notable spikes/dips:
  • Oct → Dec 2024: +1,089% surge, peaking at 5,356.34 in December.
  • Dec 2024 → Jan 2025: -95.7%.
  • Jan → Mar 2025: continued drop to the series low (6.31), then a rebound to 48.11 in May (+663% vs. March).

How it compares to the global baseline

  • Baseline (ALL industries, ALL countries) across the same months (Oct, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, May) averaged 36.27, staying in a tight 31.12–39.63 range.
  • Relative positioning by month:
  • Oct 2024: 450.62 vs. 31.12 — about 14x above market.
  • Dec 2024: 5,356.34 vs. 39.63 — about 135x above market (largest divergence).
  • Jan 2025: 231.53 vs. 35.54 — about 6.5x above market.
  • Feb 2025: 13.52 vs. 38.86 — about 65% below market.
  • Mar 2025: 6.31 vs. 32.84 — about 81% below market (series low).
  • May 2025: 48.11 vs. 39.63 — about 21% above market.
  • Baseline trend characteristics:
  • Average (full baseline series Sep 2024–Sep 2025): 35.80, high 41.58 (Nov 2024), low 20.63 (Sep 2025).
  • Month-to-month volatility averages ≈12.6%, with a gentle Q4 uptick (Nov/Dec) and a larger dip by Sep 2025.

Seasonality and volatility context

  • Seasonal pattern: The Brazil Consumer Goods series shows a pronounced December spike that far exceeds the global Q4 lift typically seen around holiday periods. After the spike, CPL drops quickly through Q1 before stabilizing higher by May.
  • Volatility: The selected series exhibits outsized swings compared to the global baseline’s relatively stable CPL band.

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 Consumer Goods industry, Facebook ad costs can be influenced by seasonal trends and market competition. For campaigns targeting Brazil, 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.

Potential Advertising Impact

CPM and CPC might rise around Carnival and Independence Day due to increased social activity. Children's Day (Oct 12) and Black Friday could see sharp spikes in competition. December (Christmas) may surge e‑commerce traffic, prompting high CPMs. Extended holiday weekends could shift ad engagement patterns.

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.
