Likelihood to Recommend I would recommend Perfect Audience to anyone who wants to use a 3rd party to scale up. I find the audience builder pretty terrible in Google
AdWords so I was looking for something a bit easier to use and this fit the bill easily.

There's a way to find your ideal audience no matter their industry. Pixel setup and management are pretty easy. It uses a universal pixel that you can easily place on your site. We use Google Tag Manager for this. Then, you can create any number of conversion events and easily implement them, also with Google Tag Manager, so we can trust we're getting good tracking. It seems many display ad platforms lack optimization tools, but StackAdapt makes it easy to adjust, add, or remove audiences, pause certain website categories, exclude batches of websites, pause individual ads, and really fine-tune the targeting as you see what works and what doesn't. Read full review Cons Constantly left Googling how to do things because the system is sometimes confusing Weak native reporting Landing page editor needs work Read full review There has been occasional slopping maintenance of the campaigns, and we have to follow up with questions about spending spikes or significant changes in delivery CPMs. Account rep knowledge can sometimes be lacking. When we question our reps about performance, we sometimes get confusing or nonsensical answers. The reporting UI is definitely clunky and unintuitive.

The audience targeting is solid, and array of placements is versatile. With these, the level of engagement for video content is usually great
Read full review Usability The bulk uploading feature is certainly my preferred feature of Perfect Audience. This tool has made creating new ad campaigns quick and easy. I used to have to upload facebook then Instagram then another social media page and instead I upload everything all at once and it certainly makes it easier for all of us.
Read full review Simple, streamlined interface. I would rate it higher if there was a proper agency portal (like an MCC "My Client Center") that allows you to control multiple client accounts from a unified login.
Read full review Support Rating The support team could be a little more useful. After our implementation calls and getting everything setup, we did feel that they were not as responsive and I did find myself googling solutions to things that the support team could have helped us with.
Read full review Support has been exceptional. Our dedicated team is always available and ready to answer any questions that may arise. We receive updates from them on a regular basis and they go above and beyond providing assistance when needed. The team is absolutely one of the bright spots in our relationship with StackAdapt
Read full review Alternatives Considered I have used
Google Ads which has a difficult interface to use as well as Ad Roll. Perfect Audience beats them both in functionality and usability.
Read full review StackAdapt is significantly less expensive than
The Trade Desk . StackAdapt doesn't have campaign minimums, unlike
The Trade Desk , meaning you can experiment with a lower ad spend to gain client confidence before investing at a larger level. Plus they don't lock you into an annual contract or anything long term. It feels very similar to
The Trade Desk but without the high contract.
Read full review Return on Investment The convenience of Perfect Audience has made things smoother for us. This convenience means less time spent managing ads and more time focusing on running our business. Re-marketing features have been superior to AdWords. Read full review Excellent traffic from our ads. Traffic exceeded our forecast. Excellent management of our budget. We did not spend near as much as we budgeted for the response we received through our test. The lead conversion was not expected to be high due to the type of content we deployed, but we received zero conversions, well below anticipated when compared to other ads for the same content.
