    When we have turnover in our photo taker role, this app makes training very easy. We have had trouble in the past with staff just not catching on with what features to take the photos of and what order to put them in, and the app walks them through how to do so. Our old 360 software was also a little difficult to use, and this app makes it very easy to use. Now we don't have to use several different apps to take our photos and do 360s

    Do you currently use Google AdWords to drive new business for your website? Then you need WordStream. The best scenario where it has helped me is time. I used to spend easily 20 hours a week analyzing data, making minor changes, adjusting budgets, trying to just master Google AdWords! But now I'm able to spend maybe 2-3 hours a week on Google AdWords and put the rest of my attention on other responsibilities. WordStream has mastered making my time more efficient.

    • Definitely go with a consultant. It amazed me how quickly our consultant was able to understand our business and what we sell. He was the best resource for our newly-digitized marketing team.
    • The negative keywords section was a hugely helpful tool. It saved us from so much unnecessary spend while making it easy to add negatives.
    • How quickly changes implemented were updated on AdWords was amazing. It's live, so no lag and unnecessary spend.

    Cons
    Spincar
    • The hotspots aren't always in the correct space
    • The integration on our website take a minute to load correctly
    • They default setup is only around 20 photos, most third parties want you to have at least 35 photos of your vehicle.

    • While the basic tools are pretty simple to use, the platform is actually pretty expansive and I don't feel like I've taken advantage of it (yet) as much as I could. It does require some training to get up to speed.
    • Support for Display ad campaigns is limited - this is mainly used as a way to optimize Search campaigns.
    • Reporting. I find the reporting setup to be a bit confusing and still rely on other sources for building out reports on our Adwords performance (Adwords itself and Google Analytics).

    I have not had any experience with the customer support team for platform issues, but the account representative checks in with us often and is always available to answer questions. We will usually get on quarterly review calls so that she can share any new updates to the platform and answer questions.

    vAuto Provision is very basic for photo taking. It doesn't walk you through what photos to take and when. It also doesn't allow for 360 photo taking. You have to buy a seperate cox auto product to do this. It also doesn't allow for photo background removal, you have to buy another product to do that if you chose to do so

    WordStream is a little different from the competition. There are much more expensive solutions that manage the account for you with more features (Kenshoo, Marin, etc) and there are cheaper solutions out there that offer some of the features that WordStream provides; however, if a marketer wants to personally manage an account with some aided help than WordStream provides a great, cost-effective solution

    • I've already noted the time savings that WordStream has provided - at leats 5 hours a week (and I like to think that my time is pretty expensive/worth it).
    • Wordstream has paid for itself already, simply in removing junk from our AdWords account - junk keywords, junk AdWords groups, junk matching.
    • I think we'll find, over more time, that Wordstream will continue to provide outstanding value in dropping our CPA - once Google register sthe lack of junk, our CPC will continue to go down.
