Cost Per Click Zero Denominator Review

Separate missing or zero clicks from valid cost-per-click calculations. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

Cost/click export, dates, currency, full campaign grain and denominator policy.

How it works

1. Match cost and clicks at the same scope and date.
2. Calculate CPC only with verified positive clicks and comparable currency.
3. Flag missing, zero or negative denominators separately from genuinely zero cost.
4. Return a report exception note; do not fill gaps or rank campaigns on invalid ratios.

The output

key | cost | clicks | currency/scope | CPC or held | denominator reason

Worked fictional example

Fictional cost 30 and clicks 10 gives CPC 3. Cost 30 and clicks 0 is held, not CPC 0; cost 0 and clicks 10 gives 0.
