The chart below comes from Q2 2015 PPC Benchmark Guide for Search Marketers and provides ad rank data for five important PPC verticals.
For each vertical, we show the ad rank for US Google and Bing searches (desktop and mobile) for both our top-tier and middle-tier advertisers. The Search Monitor’s clients use this benchmark data by tier to ensure that they are performing better than the middle, but aiming for the top.
It’s a crucial benchmark for your performance since it impacts just about every KPI (rank, clicks, spend, share, etc.).
The chart below comes from our PPC Benchmark Guide for Search Marketers and shows the number of advertisers on different verticals of keywords during Q2 of 2015.
