Google to Dominate Local Digital Advertising in 2018
Local search advertising on Google and local advertising on YouTube will top $19 billion nationwide and exceed $1 billion in the combined DC, Virginia and Maryland television markets in 2018, according to BIA Advisory Services.
Google will represent close to 40 percent of all local digital advertising across all markets. By 2022, BIA projects local Google advertising will exceed $27 billion nationwide, and reach nearly $1.5 billion in the DC/VA/MD Television markets.
According to BIA, local Google advertising in 2018 is higher than the total digital advertising revenue on any local media. When you add local Facebook advertising to local Google advertising they are estimated to account for almost 48% of all local digital advertising.
New Complimentary Report
BIA estimates ad spending in local TV and location-targeted mobile will nearly reach $43 billion in 2018. Advertisers will spend $20.8 billion in local television and $22.1 billion in location-targeted mobile to target audiences in 2018.
The report Local TV and Location: How Targeted Mobile Intelligence Creates High Impact Campaigns examines the growth for each media and how marketers are integrating the channels to unify their ability to effectively reach, target and engage consumers in a multi-platform environment.
“Today’s marketers increasingly rely on data-infused audience targeting to deliver relevant cross-platform messaging throughout the consumer’s journey to purchase. TV and mobile are two of the most powerful platforms that audiences are using daily in a unified, not fragmented, experience. Advertisers who integrate audience targeting on TV with location targeting on mobile can achieve an incredibly powerful one-two marketing punch.” Rick Ducey, report author and managing director, BIA Advisory Services
