Set your CPV ceiling before you take a single call

Set your CPV ceiling before you take a single call

Derive it, don't guess it:
— Start from target cost-per-acquisition
— Apply your historical view-to-conversion rate
— That yields the max you can pay per view and still profit
— Add a 15-20% buffer for attribution loss
— Publish it internally as a hard ceiling

Walking into outreach without a ceiling means the creator sets your price.

So what: the ceiling is a number you compute from CPA, never a market quote you accept.

Benchmark: typical e-comm CPV ceilings land $0.05-0.12 at a 1.5-2% view-to-buy rate (n=60).
