Google Display Network averages $0.38 CPC and $1.75 CPM. YouTube Ads is bought on CPM only, averaging $3.50. Analysis for Brazil in 2026.
Brazil is Latin America's largest digital ad market and one of the highest-volume Meta markets in the world per capita. CPMs run roughly 50% below US baselines, with massive audience scale (~165M internet users). Meta is unusually dominant here — Brazilian Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp adoption are among the world's highest, and WhatsApp Business is genuinely central to SMB ad strategy in a way it isn't in most markets. TikTok has grown explosively post-2021 and now rivals Meta among under-30 audiences. Portuguese-language creative is essential and meaningfully different from European Portuguese — never reuse Portugal-targeted assets. LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados) closely mirrors GDPR and ANPD enforcement has tightened since 2023. Mobile-first is absolute; PIX has reshaped payment expectations across funnels.
Display advertising across Google's network of partner sites
Video advertising on YouTube - skippable and non-skippable
The auction, the creative, the budget floor — the three things you actually need to know before picking a platform.
GDN buys impressions across 2M+ publisher sites via a real-time auction. You can bid CPC or CPM depending on the campaign goal. CPCs are 4–7x lower than search, but conversion rates are also lower — it's a top-of-funnel channel, not a decision-point channel.
Responsive Display Ads: 15 images (1200×628 landscape, 1200×1200 square, 1200×1500 portrait), 5 logos, 5 short headlines (30ch), 5 long headlines (90ch), 5 descriptions (90ch). Google auto-assembles.
$30–75/day gets a display campaign to statistical signal, though retargeting audiences reach signal faster and are the recommended entry point for smaller budgets.
YouTube ads run through Google Ads on CPM (for TrueView and Bumper) or CPV (cost per view — you pay only when viewer watches 30s or engages). CPM averages $6–10; TrueView effective CPV is $0.05–0.15. Non-skippable pre-roll runs $15–25 CPM.
6s bumpers (non-skippable), 15/30s non-skippable, and TrueView (skippable after 5s, but you're only charged if viewer engages). 16:9 1920×1080; vertical 9:16 for Shorts inventory. Companion banners boost CTR.
$50–100/day covers TrueView on a defined-topic audience. Bumper campaigns can start at $30/day. YouTube's audience-based targeting means small budgets are viable for niche verticals.
