Insights and Actions

Criteo Cost per Visit (Criteo CPV) shows how much you spend to bring each visitor to your site, providing insights into the cost-effectiveness of your ad spend:

  • Evaluate Traffic Cost: If CPV is high, reassess your targeting and ad creative to attract visitors more cost-effectively.
  • Optimize for Engagement: Compare CPV with metrics like Criteo Conversion Rate to determine if visitors are likely to convert once they land on your site.
  • Adjust Budget Allocation: A low CPV indicates efficient traffic acquisition. Consider increasing spend on high-performing campaigns to maximize reach.
