Coronavirus Targeting Built on Contextual Signals

Coronavirus is a family of respiratory viruses that includes Covid-19, and it remains one of the most searched Health topics in the world. Also known as Covid and Covid-19, the head term and its everyday variations drive over 2 million searches a month worldwide, spanning Symptoms, how long it lasts, testing, Variants and the Vaccines, Antivirals and at home Tests people look for.

Coronavirus Targeting places your Ads beside that content in real time, next to articles like What Are The Symptoms Of Covid, How Long Does Covid Last and Covid Incubation Period, reaching people at the exact moment they are checking Symptoms, managing an infection or looking for a test, vaccine or treatment.

The Coronavirus Audience

The Coronavirus Audience is one of the largest and most active in Health. It spans almost everyone, from young adults checking early Symptoms to Parents searching on behalf of a child and older or at risk adults who face the most serious illness. What makes them valuable is intent and timing. People search Coronavirus content with urgency, working out whether they have Covid, how long they are contagious and what to do next, so they act fast on Tests, Antivirals and Vaccines. Many come back again and again as new Variants appear and booster seasons come around, moving from home Test Kits and masks to seasonal Vaccines and Long Covid support, which makes this a genuine Repeat Purchase Audience rather than a one time search.

Why Advertise Around Coronavirus Content?

Someone reading a page specifically about Coronavirus is usually checking Symptoms, managing an infection or making a decision about testing or Vaccination right now, which makes them highly relevant to advertisers. That content might sit on one of the top Health websites, or on a single relevant news article, blog or forum thread within a News, Sport, Travel, Food, Lifestyle, Ageing, Parenting or Family website. URL level targeting finds these individual high intent pages, even when nothing else on the site relates to Coronavirus.

Who Advertises with Coronavirus Targeting

Coronavirus Targeting reaches people across the full journey, from first Symptoms to testing, treatment and Vaccination, which suits a broad set of Health and Public Health advertisers.

Advertiser Type Products and Services Buying Pattern
OTC and Diagnostics Rapid Antigen and Home Test Kits Repeat Purchase
Pharma and Prescription (Rx) Antivirals and Covid Treatments Lead Generation
Vaccines and Immunisation Covid Vaccines and Boosters Lead Generation
Retail and Pharmacy In Store Tests, Masks and Relief Repeat Purchase
Government and Public Health PSAs and Vaccination Campaigns Lead Generation
Healthcare Services and Telehealth Online Consults and Prescriptions Lead Generation

From home Test Kits to Vaccination drives and Public Health messaging, Coronavirus content reaches a mass Audience that few other Health topics can match.

Where Will My Coronavirus Advertisements Run?

The Coronavirus Audience moves through a clear journey, and the content they read maps to it. At the first sign of illness people search to confirm what is happening, reading articles like What Are The Symptoms Of Covid, Signs Of Covid and How Long Does Covid Last. As an infection develops they check How Long Are You Contagious With Covid, Covid Incubation Period and Covid Symptoms In Kids. Others look ahead to Covid Treatment, Covid Vaccine Side Effects and New Covid Variant, while people managing lasting effects research Long Covid Symptoms and When Will Covid End. Your Ads sit beside these exact pages in real time, from first symptom to recovery.
