What is Digital Advertising?

Digital advertising uses internet marketing to reach and engage your target audience, drive traffic to your website, or take other actions. Digital advertising includes a variety of methods, such as pay-per-click (PPC), social media advertising, video marketing, display advertising, and more. Digital advertising enables businesses to reach their audience in a more personal and interactive way, providing real-time feedback and performance tracking.

With countless digital advertising platforms, selecting the right one for your business can feel overwhelming.

Some deliver high-intent search traffic, while others excel at brand awareness and audience engagement. Understanding the costs, benefits, and best use cases can help maximize your return on investment (ROI) and ensure your budget is spent effectively. In this guide, we break down the key digital advertising platforms, comparing their pricing structures, audience reach, and effectiveness to help you make an informed decision.
