METHOD.

Open method
  1. 01

    CPV = campaign spend ÷ eligible video views

  2. 02

    CPV reports average spend per eligible video view. It is only comparable when the platforms use compatible view definitions.

  3. 03

    A view is not universal. Google Ads counts views differently across in-stream, in-feed and YouTube Shorts formats. Use the eligible view count reported for the format being analysed.

  4. 04

    The calculator performs arithmetic on user-entered values. It does not access an advertising account, verify tracking quality or predict future performance.
