  • High/low: peak in November at 41.58; trough in September at 20.63.

Selected segment coverage

No monthly data points were provided for Transportation and Logistics in India. As a result, averages, highs/lows, seasonal patterns, and volatility for this segment cannot be computed for the timeframe shown. The global baseline below serves as a directional reference until segment data is available.

Global baseline overview

Across October 2024 to September 2025, global cost-per-lead centered near the high‑30s:

  • Average: 36.04; Median: 38.47.
  • High: 41.58 in November; Low: 20.63 in September.

Month-to-month dynamics indicate moderate volatility with notable seasonal features:

  • Q4 pattern: a strong surge into November (+33.6% vs October), with December still elevated at 39.63. This aligns with typical holiday period cost pressure.
  • Early-year normalization: January eased to 35.54 before a February rebound to 38.86.
  • Spring–summer stability: April through August mostly held in a tight band (roughly 37–40), signaling a steady mid‑year environment in the aggregate.
  • Late-year dip: September dropped sharply to 20.63 (−44.3% vs August), marking the period’s lowest point and pulling the full-period average down.

Overall movement from the first to last month was a 33.7% decline. Eight of the 12 months sat above the full-period average, reflecting sustained mid‑year strength despite the September trough.

Relative position vs market

Because the selected series is empty, positioning versus the market (above market, below average, or in line with overall trends) cannot be determined for this period. For orientation, the global baseline averaged 36.04 with a median of 38.47, peaking in November and bottoming in September, with average absolute month‑over‑month changes around 13.3%.

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 Transportation and Logistics industry, Facebook ad costs can be influenced by seasonal trends and market competition. For campaigns targeting India, 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.
