Why Is My CPM So High? Common Reasons & Fixes
Are you experiencing high CPM rates in your ad campaigns? Many advertisers struggle with rising CPM costs, which can impact marketing budgets.
🔍 Common Reasons for High CPM
- Competitive Audience Targeting: High-demand audiences (e.g., finance or tech professionals) increase CPM due to competition.
- Poor Ad Relevance & Engagement: Low engagement signals platforms that your ad isn’t valuable, raising CPM.
- Expensive Ad Placements: Premium ad spots like video ads or above-the-fold placements come with higher CPMs.
- Low Ad Quality Score: Platforms assign scores to ads; a lower score leads to higher costs.
- Seasonal Demand: During peak seasons (Q4, Black Friday, holidays), advertisers bid higher, increasing CPM.
💡 How to Lower Your CPM?
