The Meta Ads benchmark guide

Every metric, across every campaign objective, in plain English. Pick a campaign objective below to see what each number means and whether yours is any good.

Awareness

Puts your brand in front of more people who might be interested. Good for building recognition.

Traffic

Sends people to your website or landing page. Good for driving visits, not necessarily sales.

Engagement

Gets likes, comments, shares, or video views. Good for building buzz around a post.

Leads

Collects contact info through a form, right on Meta. Good for quotes, sign-ups, or bookings.

Sales

Drives purchases or sign-ups on your website. The most common choice if you’re selling directly.
