What a $505.00 cost per lead really tells you

Across organic and content channels, the cost of a qualified transportation & logistics lead is about $505.00. This counts a sales-ready B2B lead — not a single-click form fill — which is a higher bar than a platform conversion, and why it runs well above the per-platform numbers below.

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, $130.00 on LinkedIn Ads, $670.00 on Paid (all channels) — 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.

From cost per lead to cost per customer

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:

Cost per customer$2,525$505.00 CPL ÷ 20% close rate
ROAS estimate2.0×$5,000 deal ÷ $2,525 cost per customer

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.
