Acquisio
Acquisio is ideal for marketing agencies, especially those that focus on serving a specific market. If your Agency has access to client data, depending on the data, Acquisio's software could be a powerful way to deliver that data in the form of online ads. Acquisio might be too powerful for a small business looking to manage campaigns in-house.

Microsoft Advertising is a top tier search engine, they help to capture the full demand for a company in addition to its competitor Google. The overlap between these audiences is not very large and so having a presence on both platforms opens up reach and scale. An area where it is not as appropriate is top-line awareness and prospecting.

Acquisio
- Facebook management: You cannot manage Facebook directly through Acquisio. You can only see the data in the platform.
- Campaign automation: The rules and algorithms takes a lot of time to be applied if you managed them manually.
- LinkedIn: No LinkedIn integration available

- Quality of traffic is comparatively lower compared to Google Ads, very important to confirm at what networks ads are being served on
- Average CPC can sometimes be higher than on similar ad networks
- Less overall volume and avg lower quality can make it difficult to justify investment

I think the platform, with the latest release updates has a lot of great potential. The main decision, currently, is price and how that gets passed on to our clients. There has to be a conscious decision made on platform cost vs client spend and overall budget vs revenue.

We have had good success with it over all of our clients. We continually recommend bing to reach "the rest of the searchers".

Our Bing Ads reps are very good and attentive. They've offered good recommendations and are quick to resolve unexpected issues and problems. Occasionally they have roped in technical support folks that have been friendly and helpful too. The general helpline for Bing Ads is also very good, especially when compared to Google's customer support.

We have started using Domo since we began using Acquisio and are extremely happy with Domo. We will continue to use Acquisio though because of the ability to directly manage paid search ads and the ability to create simple reports quickly. Also considering the cost of Domo, unless you specifically need reports with more sources of data, Acquisio is all you really need.

[Microsoft Advertising (formerly Bing Ads)] has access to superior traffic volume and ability / capability to spend ad dollars. [Microsoft Advertising (formerly Bing Ads)] is really the only paid search advertising option that competes with Google Ads in any capacity whether it be volume / ad spend / quality leads.

- We've had a very hard time spending our budgets on Bing which has caused us a lot of extra work on our end. We've essentially had to move that money back to Google or other platforms.
- It does have an easy import from Google so you're not doubling efforts.
- The CPCs tend to be less expensive than Google - which is always good for business owners.
