What is CPCV?
CPCV (Cost Per Completed View) tells you how much you're paying each time someone watches your video to 100% completion. It's a more qualified cost metric than CPM because it only charges when the full message is delivered.
Worked Example
You spend $8,000 on a video campaign that generates 200,000 completed views. CPCV = $8,000 ÷ 200,000 = $0.04. For premium CTV inventory, CPCV typically ranges from $0.02 to $0.15.
Related CTV METRICS Metrics
Incremental Lift %
Incremental Lift measures the true causal impact of your ad by comparing conversion rates between people who saw your ad (exposed group) versus a matched control group who didn't. It removes organic conversions to isolate ad-driven impact.
VCR (Video Completion Rate)
VCR (Video Completion Rate) measures how often viewers watch your video ad from start to finish. High VCR signals that the content is engaging and relevant — and ensures your full brand message is being communicated.
VTR (View Through Rate)
VTR (View-Through Rate) measures the percentage of total impressions that resulted in a completed video view. Unlike VCR (which only counts those who started watching), VTR includes everyone the ad was served to — including those who skipped.
Expert Insights
How do I improve my CPCV?
Improving CPCV requires a dual focus on quality and efficiency. For CTV METRICS metrics, we recommend auditing your top-performing segments and re-allocating budget from underperforming areas to those with higher baseline CPCV potential.
Is CPCV a primary KPI?
While CPCV is a critical indicator of regional performance, it should always be viewed alongside downstream metrics like ROI to ensure volume isn't coming at the expense of profitability.
