Cost per Lead (CPL)

Cost per Lead (CPL) refers to a pricing model in which an operator pays for each validated lead generated through marketing activity. A lead usually represents a completed registration or submitted contact form that meets predefined quality criteria.

CPL focuses on upper-funnel performance, helping operators assess lead generation efficiency before monetisation occurs and optimise conversion flows toward deposit completion.

How to Calculate CPL
