Online and mobile advertising

Discover the top platforms for online and mobile advertising used by wealth professionals, and learn how advice firms are using this technology.

What are the most popular online and mobile advertising platforms?

Online and mobile advertising is any content displayed on websites, mobiles apps or other digital mediums that contains brand and promotional marketing messaging, imagery and video. Common tools include search engine marketing, social media marketing, web banner advertising, in-video advertising, email advertising, digital radio advertising, sponsored-content articles and mobile advertising.

Online and mobile advertising platforms can benefit your advice business by allowing you to target specific audiences to improve lead conversions, transparently measuring advertising effectiveness with detailed analytics, helping to easily create campaigns without external support, and helping you reach a wider audience than traditional advertising. 

Research from the Netwealth 2022 AdviceTech Report shows that the top 4 online and mobile advertising platforms used by wealth professionals and financial advisers include: Google paid search (65.5% per cent of advice firms) Facebook paid advertising (59.4 per cent), LinkedIn paid advertising (25.0 per cent) and Google display network (12.5 per cent).
