Insights

Detailed observation of presented data

Key takeaways

  • This analysis looks at cost-per-lead trends for industry Real Estate and target country Philippines compared to the global trend; however, no selected-segment data points were available for this period, so comparisons to the global baseline cannot be quantified.
  • The global baseline shows a clear Q4 uplift, peaking in November 2024, followed by a mid-year plateau and a sharp drop in September 2025.
  • Overall volatility in the baseline is moderate, with average month-to-month movement of about 4.75 units (~13% of the mean).

  • Timeframe: October 2024 through September 2025.
  • Selected segment: Real Estate in the Philippines (no data points provided).
  • Baseline: global benchmark across all industries/countries for the same months.

Selected segment overview

  • No monthly data was available for Real Estate in the Philippines. As a result, averages, highs/lows, and volatility metrics for the selected segment cannot be computed, and no direct “above market” or “below average” positioning can be assigned.
  • The global baseline below offers directional context for expected ranges and seasonality until local data becomes available.

Seasonality and pattern signals

  • Q4 uplift: Costs typically increase in Q4 around holiday periods; the baseline reflects this with a peak in November and elevated levels in December.
  • Early-year normalization: January dips from December’s peak, common after holiday pressures ease.
  • Mid-year consistency: April through August holds a relatively tight band around the high 30s.
  • Late-year drop: September shows an exceptional dip in the baseline.

Relative positioning vs. market

  • Because the Real Estate Philippines series is empty, no “above market,” “below average,” or “in line with overall trends” assessment can be made for the selected segment at this time.
  • The global baseline suggests that marketers often face higher cost-per-lead in Q4 with a return to steadier levels through mid-year.

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 Real Estate industry, Facebook ad costs can be influenced by seasonal trends and market competition. For campaigns targeting Philippines, 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 Chinese New Year, Eid, and Independence Day for food, gifts, and travel categories. Late November–December retail campaigns see strong competition and elevated CPMs. Long weekend holidays could reduce weekday ad inventory while weekend awareness campaigns benefit from higher media consumption.

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.
