This is a key tool when working between clients & their advertising. We provide amazing value when these reports are set up properly (tagging, sound analysis, & QA'ing the data). It isn't a report we would trust to send directly to clients, as we need to do frequent data cleansing.

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.

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.

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.

Better reporting options and integration with our website AdRoll is great to create campaigns but i like the reporting that Google provides and the ability to add users to our account so different depts can see the data and reporting AdRoll is starting to do more reporting related to attribution though, which is good

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.
