In the Adstudio assistant
The assistant splits CPM by placement, device, age, gender and region, reads ad rankings, and compares periods.
Meta Ads · CPM rising
Why is my Meta Ads CPM going up?
Meta Ads CPM goes up when more advertisers bid for the same people, when your audience is small, when delivery shifts to pricier placements, or when Meta rates your ads below average. Adstudio splits CPM by ad set, placement, age and gender, compares with the previous period, and reads Meta's quality ranking for the ads involved.
The numbers that matter
What to read first.
- CPM by placement
- Feed, Stories and Reels price differently; a mix shift moves the average.
- CPM by ad set
- Narrow or overlapping audiences pay more.
- Quality ranking
- Below-average ads pay more per impression.
The method
How to break it down.
- 01Compare CPM with the previous period, by ad set.
- 02Split by placement to see if the mix shifted.
- 03Split by age and gender to see where prices rose.
- 04Check quality ranking for the ads in the affected ad sets.

Limits
What Adstudio will not tell you.
- Adstudio cannot see other advertisers' bids, so seasonal competition is inferred, not measured.
