Yes, one thing I’ve noticed is that competition makes a big difference because some niches have become much more expensive while others haven’t changed that much.

Yes costs can be higher now and it depends a lot on the niche and competition because better targeting and stronger ads can still help keep costs under control.

costs vary a lot depending on the niche especially in competitive sectors where advertisers are fighting for the same leads. But higher CPC doesn’t automatically mean worse results.

Yep it is 100%. Google seems to be increasing the auction baseline price as well, so they won't even show your ad unless you have a high bid - even if you have no competition. That said, it makes optimization and staying on top of your campaign that much more important

Personally I think it depends more on the industry and competition because some niches are still profitable while others need a much bigger budget.

Yes, It really depends on the niche and competition because some campaigns are still profitable but need more optimization than before.

Yes, ad costs have gone up in some niches, but it really depends on the competition because improving ad quality and targeting can help keep costs under control.
