Measure the customer, not just the click.
Connect media costs to appointments, customers, revenue, and gross profit using clearly defined cohorts and denominators.
Ratios with a zero or unavailable denominator are undefined, not zero performance. Use the same cohort and reporting window when comparing results.

Follow the same cohort
Impressions, clicks, leads, appointments, shows, and customers describe different stages. Use a consistent attribution window and lead definition so the ratios are comparable.
Separate acquisition cost from unit value
CAC depends on which acquisition costs are included. Revenue per customer describes sales value, while gross profit accounts for direct delivery costs. Neither is automatically net profit.
Treat lifetime value as an estimate when it is one
Define whether LTV is revenue or contribution, the horizon, and the retention or repeat-purchase assumptions. Do not compare a forecast lifetime value with a short-term cost as though both are equally certain.
Model a change before promising one
The calculator lets you set your own scenario assumptions. Better audience context may support a more deliberate test, but it does not guarantee a lower CPL, lower CAC, or higher revenue.

Cost per lead is useful for tracking response costs. It cannot independently tell you whether those responses become valuable customers.
