Planning Your Ad Budget

Set Your Goal

Choose between leads, sales, or traffic. Your campaign objective determines how Meta optimizes spend and what cost benchmarks to expect.

Industry Benchmarks

Get average CPA and CPL ranges for your industry. Know what to expect before you spend so you can set realistic targets from day one.

Daily vs Lifetime

Daily budgets give you steady control. Lifetime budgets let Meta pace spending over a set period. Choose based on your campaign timeline.

Scale Strategically

Start small ($20-50/day), let Meta exit the Learning Phase (50+ conversions), then scale winners by 20-30% at a time to maintain efficiency.

  1. Choose your industry to auto-fill benchmark costs
  2. Enter your monthly lead goal
  3. Adjust the expected CPL if you know your real numbers
  4. Click Calculate Budget
  5. Review the suggested daily and monthly budget
