| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| [**TikTok Spend**](/reference/metrics/advertising/tiktok/tiktok-spend/tiktok-spend)                            | Total amount spent on TikTok ads         |
| [**TikTok Landing Page Views**](/reference/metrics/advertising/tiktok/tiktok-clicks/tiktok-landing-page-views) | Total landing page loads from TikTok ads |

| --------------- | ----------------------------- |
| **Type**        | Currency                      |

| **Aggregation** | Ratio                         |

## Example

Your brand spent **\$3,600** on TikTok ads in February and received **9,000 landing page views**:

| Ad Group    | Spend       | LP Views  | Cost/LP View |
| ----------- | ----------- | --------- | ------------ |
| Prospecting | \$1,800     | 4,500     | \$0.40       |
| Retargeting | \$1,200     | 3,000     | \$0.40       |
| Lookalike   | \$600       | 1,500     | \$0.40       |
| **Total**   | **\$3,600** | **9,000** | **\$0.40**   |

## How It Works

TikTok Cost per Landing Page View divides total spend by landing page views rather than clicks. Since landing page views only count when your page fully loads, this metric gives a truer picture of what you pay for actual website traffic. It's typically higher than CPC because some clicks never result in a loaded page.

| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| True traffic cost        | Use instead of CPC when page speed varies            |
| Budget forecasting       | Estimate actual site visitors from planned spend     |
