CPA measures the cost of acquiring a customer or conversion through your marketing efforts. It helps evaluate campaign efficiency in driving actions like purchases or sign-ups.

Calculation: CPA = Total Spend ÷ Total Conversions

Example: An eCommerce brand spends $1,000 on ads and gains 50 new customers. The CPA is $20.
