Using Cost Per View

Cost per view divides video advertising spend by counted views. Make sure the spend and view totals cover the same campaign and date range. Platform definitions of a billable view can differ, so use CPV mainly for comparisons within the same advertising system and consider conversion quality alongside the cost figure.

Methodology and Practical Limits

Cost per view is ad spend divided by counted views. Platforms can define a billable or qualified view differently, so CPV comparisons should use the same campaign objective, attribution window and view definition rather than treating every displayed impression as a view.
