Short answer
Blended CAC is total sales and marketing cost divided by all new customers acquired, including those who arrived organically, rather than only customers attributed to paid media. It gives a business-level view of acquisition efficiency that is less dependent on attribution accuracy, though it can mask whether paid channels are individually profitable.
