Insights

Detailed observation of presented data

Introduction

Education advertisers in Israel ran on noticeably lower click costs than the global market in 2025, but the ride was choppier. CPCs sat well below the worldwide Facebook Ads benchmarks for most of the year, then surged through late summer and early fall before cooling sharply in December. The standout features: a midsummer breakout, an October peak, and one of the steepest year-end drops in the dataset.

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 Education in Israel compared to the global benchmark.

The story in the data

  • Starting point to finish: Israel’s Education CPC opened at $0.45 in January and closed at $0.31 in December, a 31% slide across the year.
  • Average, highs, lows: The year averaged $0.54 per click, with a high of $0.80 in October and a low of $0.31 in December. The overall range ($0.49) was large relative to the average, signaling pronounced swings.
  • Key movements:
  • Early softness: March ($0.43) drifted down to April’s local low ($0.36).
  • Spring rebound: May lifted to $0.50, before easing again in June ($0.38).
  • Summer breakout: July jumped 96% month over month to $0.75, holding elevated through August ($0.64) and September ($0.73).
  • Autumn peak and snapback: October set the yearly high at $0.80, then CPCs fell to $0.65 in November and dropped a further 52% into December’s $0.31.
  • Volatility: Average month-to-month movement was $0.135, more than double the global benchmark’s $0.059, underscoring a more dynamic pricing environment for clicks in Israel’s education sector.

Globally, CPCs averaged about $1.13, with a relatively narrow range ($1.06–$1.32) and a familiar Q4 pulse: a November spike ($1.32) followed by a December dip ($1.06).

Seasonal and monthly dynamics

Israel’s Education CPCs followed a clear rhythm:

  • Q1 was steady but subdued ($0.44 average).
  • Q2 mixed softness and recovery, bottoming in April and rebounding in May (quarter average $0.41).
  • Q3 was the costliest stretch ($0.71 average), climbing through July–September.
  • Q4 peaked early in October before easing into year-end (quarter average $0.59).

This pattern echoes broader Facebook CPC trends where competition typically intensifies into late Q3 and Q4. Notably, Israel’s apex arrived in October—about a month earlier than the global peak—followed by an unusually sharp December correction.

Country vs. Global

Across 2025, Education CPCs in Israel averaged roughly 53% below the global benchmark ($0.54 vs. $1.13). The gap persisted every month:

  • Narrowest gap: October, when Israel ran about 29% below the global CPC.
  • Widest gap: December, roughly 71% below global.
  • Through mid-year lift: from June to October, Israel’s CPC rose 111%, while the global trend stayed comparatively stable until its November surge.
  • Full-year momentum: Israel ended 31% below January levels; the global average finished about 6% below its January mark—steadier and less extreme.

In short, country-specific ad costs for Education in Israel stayed well below market while exhibiting heavier swings, with a summer–early fall lift and a decisive year-end drop.

Understanding the Data

Insights & analysis of Facebook advertising costs

Cost Per Click (CPC) is the amount advertisers pay each time a user clicks on their Facebook ad. In the Education industry, Facebook ad costs can be moderate, with higher costs for professional and specialized courses. For campaigns targeting Israel, 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 exactly is CPC in Facebook Ads?

CPC (Cost Per Click) is what you pay each time someone clicks on your ad, on any Facebook Ads placement. It's calculated by dividing your total spend by the number of clicks received. Facebook Ads lists Clicks, Link Clicks and Outbound Clicks separately. The former is the sum of all types of clicks (including, for example, clicks to your profile page, to a link or to a comment).

What's considered a good CPC for Facebook ads in 2025?

The truth is that varies, so play with our tool to get some benchmarks that are relevant to you. CPC values are highly dependent on the region, industry and campaign objective. The US is one of the most expensive markets.

What influences cost per click on Facebook?

Several factors affect CPC: your audience targeting, competition in your industry, ad relevance score, and creative performance. If your ad isn't getting engagement or relevance is low, CPC tends to spike.

Why is my Facebook ad CPC suddenly increasing?

CPC spikes usually happen because of increased competition in your target audience, seasonal trends (like holidays), poor ad relevance scores, or algorithm changes. Check if your audience targeting has become too narrow or if your creative is showing fatigue.

Do desktop and mobile Facebook ads have different CPCs?

Yes, there's a noticeable difference between platforms. Mobile CPCs often run lower than desktop. How many times do check Instagram on your phone and how often do you open it in your computer? There's simply much more mobile inventory. Tip: segment your performance data by placement to understand where your clicks are coming from. Spoiler: it's likely all mobile.

Should I optimize my campaigns for CPC or conversions?

For most businesses, optimizing for conversions will deliver much better ROI than focusing purely on CPC. A low CPC is meaningless if those clicks don't convert. However, if you're running awareness campaigns or some kind content promotion, CPC optimization might potentially make sense, although most experts have switched to conversion optimization by now.

Why do my CPC benchmarks differ from published industry averages?

Your specific audience targeting, creative quality, bidding strategy, and account history all influence your CPC. Industry averages provide a reference point, but your historical performance is a more reliable benchmark for setting expectations and measuring improvement.

Are CPCs cheaper on Instagram or Facebook?

Instagram CPCs are generally slightly higher due to stronger purchase intent and higher competition among advertisers. But it depends on the audience and creative.
