2. Types of Facebook advertising costs
You need to distinguish between:
- Common ways Facebook charges: impressions, clicks and more (impressions are the most common)
- Bid strategies you can use to maximize campaign performance and optimize your advertising objectives: Highest volume, Highest value, Cost per result, ROAS – Return on ad spend, Bid cap and more
There are currently five common Facebook cost metrics advertisers tend to focus on:

2.1 Cost-per-Click (CPC)
The average Facebook advertising CPC across all industries is around VND 8,619. For example, the recruitment industry has a CPC of around VND 12,500.
2.2 Cost-per-Mille (CPM)
The average Facebook Ads CPM across all industries is around VND 52,000. This is equivalent to only about VND 230 per impression.
This varies depending on:
- Audience and competition (CPM is low when there is little competition for your target audience, and higher when there is more competition)
- Optimization objective (brand awareness, conversions):
Brand awareness has the lowest CPM because the aim is to show ads to as many people as possible.
Conversions have a high CPM because Facebook shows ads to users likely to take a more specific action, such as purchasing or submitting their details for advice.
2.3 Cost-per-View (CPV)
The average Facebook advertising CPV across industries ranges from around VND 100 to VND 200.
CPV varies little between ads or industries, making it hard to assess performance using CPV alone. Instead, also assess website engagement metrics such as engagement time, CTR and bounce rate for more information to optimize ads.
2.4 Cost-per-Action (CPA)
The average Facebook advertising CPA is around VND 85,000.
Actual performance can differ greatly from the target CPA. When using a CPA bid strategy, monitor it continuously and adjust the CPA so actual results meet expectations.
2.5 Cost-per-Like (CPL)
Page like campaigns are very expensive in Vietnam, so run only enough to give a new page a reasonable number of likes. Then improve post content to provide useful information to users and increase organic likes.
Cost per like is around VND 5,500. Note that this is only the lowest average cost in Vietnam for a Facebook page like.
