Plain-language glossary

Keep these definitions beside your practice work.

Agency fee
What a client pays for your agreed work. Keep it separate from the media budget paid to the advertising platform.
Media budget
Money allocated to ad delivery. It is not the agency’s fee or profit.
Scope
The agreed work, quantities, exclusions, responsibilities, and approval points. A change to scope may change cost or timing.
Conversion
A defined action, such as a purchase or qualified inquiry. State which event you count before interpreting a result.
CPC · cost per click
Ad spend divided by clicks. For $200 spend and 100 clicks, CPC is $2. With no clicks it is unavailable.
CPM · cost per thousand impressions
Ad spend divided by impressions, multiplied by 1,000. An impression is an ad display, not a unique person or a sale.
Click-based conversion rate
Conversions in a click-based dataset divided by its clicks, multiplied by 100. Do not divide a mixed view-through and click-through conversion total by clicks.
Media CPA · cost per action
Ad spend divided by the specified conversions. $200 and two purchases gives $100 per purchase; with zero purchases CPA is unavailable. Agency fees and other costs are excluded.
Attribution
The rules and time windows used to credit an action to an ad interaction. A reported conversion does not by itself prove the ad caused the sale.
Data maturity
Whether enough time has passed for reporting delays, attribution windows, refunds, and other relevant outcomes to settle.
Context hint
A description of situations where an ad could be relevant. It informs delivery; it does not guarantee a particular conversation, person, or placement.
ROAS · return on ad spend
Attributed revenue divided by ad spend. It excludes costs such as product delivery and agency work, so it is not a profit measure.
Contribution
Revenue less the variable costs you explicitly include. State those costs and whether media and fees are included before using it to plan a budget.
Gross margin
Revenue minus the defined delivery cost, divided by revenue. With $400 delivery cost and a 20% margin assumption, fee = $400 ÷ (1 − 0.20) = $500. Margin is not markup or take-home profit.
Pilot
A bounded trial with a question, approved scope and budget, measurement checks, and stop criteria. A pilot can reasonably end in a recommendation to pause.
