PPC in COVID-19 Era: Impact, Scope & Ways to Improve Your PPC Performance

A black swan is an extremely rare event of large magnitude and severe impact that is far outside the realm of conventional expectations. And 2020 has delivered us a Black swan in the form of COVID-19.
From the way we work, places we go to the ways we spend our time and money, there isn’t left a single aspect of life that COVID-19 hasn’t impacted so far in 4 months. And this has resulted in massive ramifications for online advertising and marketing for all the sectors of businesses. Naturally, PPC advertising is the first to cope with the blow of these market fluctuations caused by the pandemic.
Impact of COVID-19 on PPC Advertising:
The impact of COVID-19 on PPC advertising is different for different industries based on the market demand and fluctuation suddenly caused by the pandemic. As the majority of the users are in search of health and medical-related information and products, the search volume, ad clicks, conversions for health and medical PPC campaigns recorded strong positive numbers. And it goes the same with PPC performance of charity and non-profit campaigns.
With businesses adopting remote work options, there has been a surge in demand for fast-moving consumer goods and it shows in the numbers. There has been a 40% increase in the search volume of Beauty and personal care products with good numbers in conversions and sales. Another sector that has massively benefited from the remote working model is the media and entertainment sector. Being the only major source of entertainment right now, we recorded a massive surge in clicks and an almost 100% increase in conversions in our PPC advertising campaigns during last 2 months.
However, there are few sectors that have experienced a fall in their PPC performance primarily due to the mandatory lockdown measures taken by the government in the wake of a pandemic. Travel, live entertainment, sports, real estate, hotels, and restaurants have copped severe blows, with most of the players pausing their ad spends. But as we are slowly returning to the normalcy few industries are on showing good promise both in terms of search volume and conversions.
Take the Real-estate sector for example. With uncertain economy looming over our heads, the real- estate took a stick when during the early days of lockdown. But the lowest ever home interest rates available today has generated a positive movement among the prospective home buyers today. So it is going to get better with time and we are in for a positive PPC performance in this category as well.
