The CPC can be more effectively converted. If it is merely displayed without any clicks, most people will not have a deep impression.

It all depends on your target and goal. CPC is beneficial when you want to actually pay for clicks and direct traffic to your website. CPM is beneficial when you want to have a wider reach and a certain number of conversions from impressions. You need to test both CPC and CPM on the same target audience and see how they perform.

If your main goal is sales, I would start with CPC and see how it converts.

Check the conversion rate from each campaign, not just how cheap the clicks or impressions are.

For a new campaign, start small with CPC and track which keywords or audiences actually bring customers.

CPM can work well if the targeting is good and you want to reach more of the right audience.

If your main goal is sales, I think CPC is better to start with. You pay for clicks and can track which ads bring actual customers. Later you can test CPM also.

A good offer with the right audience can work on both CPC and CPM. The setup matters more than the pricing model.
