Tighten broad match or phrase match to [Exact Match] and regularly review search term reports.
 
Try improving your ad relevance and landing page experience also. Quality Score is only one factor that affects CPC.

CPC changes are normal in PPC. Check recent changes in competition, season, and keyword demand before making big updates.
 
A sudden CPC jump can happen due to changes in auction competition, keyword performance or bid strategy. Try checking recent search terms and impression share to find where the increase is coming from.
 
First check your search terms report. You may be paying for irrelevant clicks. Adding negative keywords and removing wasteful terms can help bring CPC down.
 
Try improving your ad CTR and landing page experience. Small improvements in relevance can sometimes help lower costs.
 
Try focusing on your best-performing keywords and reduce bids on expensive keywords that are not bringing good results.
 
CPC rise may be due to increased competition, less relevance of ads, decreased Quality Score, or modifications in targeting. Review your keywords, competitors, bids, and any modifications made to your campaigns recently.
 
CPC spikes may arise due to increased competition, higher bids, or reduced quality scores. First look into auction insights, keyword performances, and any changes made recently.
 
An unexpected CPC increase is often indicative of increased competition, high bids, or poor ad relevancy. Look into auction insights, Quality Score, and any changes made to campaigns recently.
