Use country, regional, state, metro, and local benchmark context before comparing performance across markets.
A practical KPI stack for comparing countries. Use the conversion-type dropdown above to recalculate conversion-sensitive metrics before opening a more specific page.
| Metric | Median | Top Quartile | What It Tells You |
|---|---|---|---|
| CTR | 2.4% | 4.1% | Creative and message-to-audience fit |
| CPC | $2.80 | $1.65 | Click acquisition efficiency |
| CVR | 3.4% | 6.2% | Landing-page and offer effectiveness |
| CPA | $82 | $45 | Cost to generate the selected conversion |
| CPM | $12.40 | $7.80 | Auction pressure and reach efficiency |
| ROAS | 3.1x | 5.2x | Revenue efficiency where purchase value is tracked |
Benchmark performance differs by geography because competition, media costs, conversion behavior, and regulation are not evenly distributed.

Generic cross-channel averages miss the signal that matters. Use country, regional, state, metro, and local benchmark context before comparing performance across markets.
Benchmark performance differs by geography because competition, media costs, conversion behavior, and regulation are not evenly distributed.
Each hub connects to broader benchmark context and more specific breakdowns — so you can move from a general question to a benchmark range that fits your actual campaign.
Use country, regional, state, metro, and local benchmark context before comparing performance across markets. Using a single blended average across all countries hides the performance differences that matter most for campaign planning.
Start with the hub to find the country that matches your campaign context, then use the median as a baseline target and the P75 as an achievable stretch goal. Avoid using benchmarks from a different country as your target — the ranges can differ significantly.
