Introduction
The cornerstone of PPC has always been search, however the overarching theme from the past few
years is a sharp increase in technologies and platforms utilized by Search Marketers to aid the
performance of their overall PPC efforts. With the continued popularity of conversion rate
optimization strategies, more sophisticated capabilities within search and expanded targeting in
social and display advertising, it’s becoming easier to truly personalize a user’s experience based on
their behavior, preferences, and locations.
With the State of PPC, Hanapin Marketing’s annual survey of the pay per click (PPC) advertising
industry, we look under the hood of advertising’s fastest-growing industry and find out what makes it
tick, year by year.
This year, hundreds of search marketing professionals—both influencers and decision makers from a
variety of brands and digital marketing agencies —completed our survey and collectively reached some
very clear conclusions, including:





• Proven ad channels, like Text Ads, Mobile, and Remarketing continue to gain steam
• Many advertisers didn’t predict they would increase PPC budgets in 2015, however, the
majority of advertisers did see their spending increase in 2015 and now expect that trend to
continue into 2016
• Expanded targeting options available with social advertising combined with low CPCs
have made it a popular revenue channel for all advertisers

Keep reading for the most comprehensive statistical breakdown of the digital ad industry to date—and
to draw your own conclusions about where we’re headed.

agree that social advertising and conversion
rate optimization are the two most important
aspects heading into 2016.
