CPC is not the business outcome

A cheap click is useful only if it has a reasonable chance of becoming the action you value.

Compare cost per result

A higher CPC source can still be cheaper if it produces more qualified leads or buyers. Compare cost per lead and downstream value.

Ask what changed

If one vendor is dramatically cheaper, understand whether geography, source quality, targeting, package terms or list segmentation explain the difference.

Test before committing

A controlled small test is more informative than choosing purely from a price table.
