On LinkedIn Ads, the cost for a transportation & logistics lead-gen form submission is about $130.00. LinkedIn reaches decision-makers by job title and company, which commands a premium over broad consumer platforms — though this figure comes from a single agency aggregate, so treat it as directional.
Logistics buyers weigh price, reliability and capacity; contracts are large and switching is disruptive, so leads are considered and the cost to earn one reflects that.
For comparison, the same industry runs $101.54 on Meta Ads, $670.00 on Paid (all channels), $505.00 on Organic / SEO — different channels measure leads differently, so weigh them on cost per customer, not cost per lead. That’s the number that matters: divide this cost per lead by your close rate to get cost per customer, then check it against your deal size. The calculator does the math with every formula shown.
Cost per lead is only the first step. The number that runs your business is cost per customer — and it's just CPL divided by your close rate. Here's the math on this benchmark, using an illustrative 20% close rate and a $5,000 deal:
Those inputs are illustrative — plug in your own close rate and deal size in the interactive CPL/CPA calculator to see your real cost per customer, with every formula shown.
