October 2025 - September 2026

Insights

Benchmark observations based on the selected data

Introduction

Israel’s cost-per-click (CPC) ran materially below the global benchmark over the 12-month window, with distinct seasonal swings and several sharp month-to-month moves. 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 All industries in Israel compared to the global benchmark.

The story in the data

Across July 2025–June 2026, Israel’s median CPC averaged about $0.58, ranging from a low of $0.35 in August 2025 to a high of $0.83 in November 2025. By contrast, the global baseline over the same months averaged roughly $1.07. In absolute terms Israel’s CPC sat about $0.49 below the global level — roughly 46% lower on average.

Momentum through the year showed a pronounced descent from July ($0.75) into August ($0.35), a recovery into late Q4 that peaked in November ($0.83), and a renewed slide into a Q1 trough around March ($0.44). The year closed with a mid‑spring uptick (May $0.64) before dropping again in June ($0.42). Month-to-month absolute moves averaged about $0.16 — a sizeable swing given the sub‑$1 scale — with the largest single monthly drop between July→August (~$0.40) and a notable rise into November (~$0.32).

Seasonal and monthly dynamics

Seasonally, Israel’s pattern showed a Q4 uplift (peak in November) and a typical Q1 softness (trough in March), followed by a rebound into late spring. December narrowed the gap to global rates more than any other month: Israel’s December CPC ($0.76) was about 24.6% below the global December value. Conversely, August and June were the months with the widest gaps, with August’s CPC roughly 68% below the global August benchmark and June about 63% below global June levels. These rhythms underline a market that alternates between compressed and stretched CPCs across the calendar.

Country vs. Global

Relative to the global baseline, Israel was consistently below average across every month. The ratio of Israel-to-global CPC varied from about 0.32 (Aug) to 0.75 (Dec). Volatility was also higher in Israel: average monthly absolute movement was ~0.16 versus ~0.075 for the global benchmark — more than double the baseline swing. In short, Israel presented lower absolute costs but greater month-to-month variability when compared with the global CPC trend.

Understanding Facebook Ads cost-per-click benchmarks for all industries in Israel puts country-specific ad costs and CPC trends into context for industry ad performance and CPC analysis, and helps frame Facebook Ads benchmarks and country-specific ad costs for Israel.

About this data

Facebook advertising cost benchmarks

Cost Per Click (CPC) is the amount advertisers pay each time a user clicks on their Facebook ad. Ad costs vary across industries because of competition, audience demographics, and conversion value. For campaigns targeting Israel, advertisers should consider local market factors and user behavior. 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.

Why we use median instead of average

A small share of campaigns has extremely high CPC values. Those outliers can inflate an average. The median is the midpoint across campaigns, so it better represents a typical result.

Factors that affect 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.)

The data shows industry median benchmarks. Costs can vary with targeting, 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 2026?

CPC varies by region, industry, and campaign objective. Use the filters to compare benchmarks that match your campaign. The US is one of the more expensive markets.

What influences cost per click on Facebook?

Audience targeting, industry competition, ad relevance score, and creative performance affect CPC. Low engagement or relevance can increase CPC.

Why is my Facebook ad CPC suddenly increasing?

CPC can increase with more competition in your target audience, seasonal trends such as holidays, lower ad relevance scores, or algorithm changes. Check whether your audience is too narrow or your creative is showing fatigue.

Do desktop and mobile Facebook ads have different CPCs?

Mobile CPCs often run lower than desktop CPCs because there is more mobile inventory. Segment performance by placement to see where clicks come from.

Should I optimize my campaigns for CPC or conversions?

For most businesses, conversion optimization produces better ROI than CPC alone. CPC optimization can suit awareness campaigns or content promotion when clicks are the goal.

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 because of purchase intent and advertiser competition. Results also depend on the audience and creative.
