The pandemic highlighted the importance of healthy habits over the past year, whether that be in relation to social distancing, exercise, or other lifestyle choices. In fact, 49% of Australians want to be healthier this year,
across several categories including: nutrition, mental health, and appearance. As a result, Microsoft Advertising Insights is seeing strong search behaviour for related Health and Wellness categories, with searches and clicks skyrocketing beyond pre-pandemic levels.
Looking at April 2019 as a base, we saw an 86% uplift in searches and a 71% uplift in clicks comparing now to pre-pandemic times.
This indicates heightened demand for this category, and Responsive Search Ads can help make sure you’re using the most efficient resources to maximise your earnings.
