# Meta Cost per Find Location: Store Locator Efficiency

| [**Meta Spend**](/reference/metrics/advertising/meta/meta-spend/meta-spend)                                     | Total advertising spend on Meta platforms            |
| [**Meta Find Location Events**](/reference/metrics/advertising/meta/meta-conversions/meta-find-location-events) | Count of find location events attributed to Meta ads |

## Example

Your Meta campaigns generated **850 find location events** with **\$4,250 in total spend**.

| Campaign             | Spend       | Find Location Events | Cost per Find Location |
| -------------------- | ----------- | -------------------- | ---------------------- |
| Store Awareness      | \$2,000     | 500                  | \$4.00                 |
| Local Promotions     | \$1,500     | 250                  | \$6.00                 |
| Holiday Store Finder | \$750       | 100                  | \$7.50                 |
| **Total**            | **\$4,250** | **850**              | **\$5.00**             |

## How It Works

This metric divides your total Meta ad spend by the number of find location events recorded. A find location event fires when someone uses your store locator, searches for nearby stores, or interacts with location-finding features after seeing your ad.
