Here is a snapshot of who pays much when advertising to facebook



Cost Per Click (CPC) – the cost for 1 click to your website
Cost Per Mille (CPM) – the cost for 1,000 impressions, or views of your ad

Entertainment businesses tend to pay the lowest for Facebook ads. This is likely because such ads – which can include juicy click-bait and music videos – are naturally engaging and appeal to a wide audience. Automotive businesses have a surprising place in second. Although, when you consider that just about every Kenyan household has a family member who owns an account on facebook, this isn’t all that surprising.

On the other end of the spectrum are professional services, like medical doctors and lawyers. These companies have a far more niche market. Thus, they have to compete to get their ad shown by paying higher prices.

Bottom line, facebook advertising does not have any set cost. Because users get to set their own budget (as low as $1) the price all depends on how much you’re willing to spend.
