TikTok Ads Benchmarks 2025: CTR, CPA, ROAS You Should Aim For

Planning your growth on TikTok this year? These practical benchmarks for CTR, CPC, CPA, and ROAS will help you forecast, diagnose performance, and prioritize your testing roadmap.

How to Use Benchmarks Properly

Benchmarks are reference points, not goals. Use them to spot issues: if your CTR is below 0.8%, creative and hook testing should be priority. If your CTR is healthy but CPC is high, test audiences and placements. If CPA is off with healthy CTR and CPC, focus on conversion rate and offer.

Creative Signals to Track Weekly

Hook retention (0–3s watch and 3–6s drop-off)

Thumb-stop ratio (impressions to 2s views)

Click-through trends across first 48 hours

Top 5 comments sentiment and objections

Scaling Guardrails

1

Increase budget only when CPA is ≤ target for 2–3 consecutive days

2

Use auto-duplicate to scale winners while capping spend per duplicate

3

Pause underperformers after N impressions with CTR below threshold
