Google Search Ads Soar While Social Media Stays Stable.
Ad costs on major platforms are shifting, with Google Search ads seeing a significant increase—13% year-over-year and 40-50% over the past 4-5 years. In contrast, Meta’s CPMs have remained stable, averaging $8-$11 since 2021, while TikTok’s CPMs have also stayed consistent, between $2.50-$4 post-COVID. The main story is Google’s rising costs, while social media channels remain stable. Businesses should diversify their ad spend, focusing more on cost-effective social platforms and optimizing their Google ads for better ROI to limit the impact of increased Search ad costs. #featured #trending
