Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) is a key marketing metric that measures the total cost required to acquire a paying customer or complete a desired action, such as a signup or purchase. It’s calculated by dividing total campaign spend by the number of acquisitions. CPA helps evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of advertising efforts across channels. Lowering CPA while maintaining quality leads is critical for improving return on investment (ROI) and scaling customer acquisition sustainably.
