Acquisio is a valuable tool used by digital marketing departments and SEM agencies to manage and optimize paid search campaigns for clients. Users rely on Acquisio to streamline their campaign setup, management, and optimization processes, saving them time and increasing efficiency. With Acquisio, users can integrate Google, Bing, and Facebook into one central location, allowing for proper budget pacing and management. Previously, users had to manually track spends on different platforms, but Acquisio solves this problem by automating tracking, reporting, budget management, and bid optimization. This automation not only saves time but also provides users with valuable insights for campaign performance review and feedback to stakeholders. The versatility of Acquisio as a reporting tool makes it a preferred choice for many users across the digital advertising department. Although some previous users raised concerns about social integration, bid management, reporting, and ease of use, overall, Acquisio has proven effective in helping professionals scale their businesses and achieve their desired outcomes in managing paid advertising campaigns across multiple publishers.

Limited Account Administration Features: A number of reviewers have mentioned that certain areas of account administration lack key features such as search, filter, and sort capabilities. This makes it difficult for users to locate and manage their desired accounts effectively.

Acquisio is used by the digital marketing implementation department of the company. We mainly use it for reviewing the performance of PPC campaigns and for providing feedback to all the stakeholders. It is one of the most versatile reporting tools we have used.
  • Provides multiple methods of viewing and sharing campaign data. It is definitely an upgrade from the basic PPC reports. Fully customizable and new features are being added regularly.
  • Acquisio now provides support for the importation of the video campaign data. This saves her company lots of time as we used to have to do this process manually.
  • Aquisio now has instant chat support in the platform which saves a lot of time as you can get quick answers to any problems you may be having.
  • Some of the screens in the platform take a little while to load and you may need to refresh.
  • More details on mobile campaigns would be helpful but Acquisio is limited by what is available in the PPC provider's API.
  • Hopefully they will add support for more fonts soon.
If you manage a large number of campaigns and need to do automation and bid adjustments in addition to report scheduling then Aquisio is right for you.
  • Acquisio has helped us to improve relationships with our PPC clients.
  • The customizable reports have helped our consultants gain better insight into how to help their clients as well.
  • The standards we were able to reach using this platform have enabled us to be the top provider in our market.
In terms of reporting Acquisio offers a much more flexible platform where you can fully customize and schedule reports as needed.
Within the interface there is an instant chat support feature that you can use to get help right away without having to pick up the phone or look for an email address. We have have an account manager who responds to emails quickly and is always helpful. Anytime issues require further tech support we are kept up to date on the progress of the issue and they are usually resolved the same day.
Yes
It doesn't happen very often but the one I can remember was resolved the same day before close of business.
There was one feature which didn't exist in the platform that we were wondering about. We asked and were told that they had been developing a solution and gave us the opportunity to to use it. They provided email and phone support and how-to guides to get us started and have saved us a lot of time.

As a full service advertising agency, Archer Malmo has a large number of clients across a variety of industries. The Digital Strategy department manges the paid search, display, and social media ads for all clients. The Digital Strategy team uses Acquisio to directly manage paid search ads and report on most digital campaigns.
  • Easy to create reports for digital campaigns
  • Easy to make bulk changes to paid search campaigns
  • Easy to ensure consistency of paid search campaigns across Google and Bing
  • Ability to automate reports and email them to specific users on a scheduled basis
  • Bid and budget automation for paid search campaigns is successful at hitting CPA targets
  • Lack of ability to manage social media ads
  • Somewhat limited number of visualizations in reports
  • Slow to add new features and respond to changes in platforms
Acquisio is great if you are managing a large number of paid search campaigns. It makes it easy to keep track of everything and make bulk changes when necessary. The reports are exceptional at providing a comprehensive view of the data and are extremely easy to create. If you need to create a custom ad hoc report, it can be done in as little as one minute. You can then schedule the reports to be emailed to yourself or someone else on a recurring basis.
  • Increased employee efficiency
  • Increased client satisfaction/retention due to the quality of the reports
  • Greater insight into performance across Google and Bing
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.

Our search team uses Acquisio to manage search campaigns for our larger clients. It helps streamline campaign management, reporting, and budget management. We especially like the Bid and Budget Management (BBM) feature, which manages budgets and optimizes for cost per click and cost per acquisition. BBM saves us a lot of time and makes us more efficient.
  • Reporting - robust reporting suite that saves hours every week.
  • BBM - manages campaign budgets and optimizes bids.
  • Great customer service.
  • Little support for social management, although some of this is coming soon.
  • Integration with outside platforms for reporting can be a challenge. We struggled to get accurate call tracking data into the platform.
  • Missing some features like labels that we use frequently.
Acquisio is great for agencies or anyone managing a large account or multiple accounts. The reporting feature alone makes it worthwhile - no more manually pulling data from multiple sources! The reports help with day to day management too. If you only manage one small account, Acquisio may not be for you, but if you're running multiple accounts it's a must.
  • Increased reporting efficiency
  • Better results for clients via BBM's CPC and CPA optimization
  • Manage multiple engines (Google and Bing) in one platform
We looked at other players like Marin and Kenshoo but found them to be overpriced and service to be lacking. Acquisio is very customer responsive, and the product is priced right.

We stopped outsourcing our PPC campaigns and brought it in-house, creating our [own] digital department. That is when we picked up Acquisio, looking to improve current performance.
  • Our list of campaigns was massive and our team was small, so we found that Acquisio helped us streamline much of the tedious work.
  • Another reason (and probably the most important) for picking up Acquisio was for the reporting features: fast, easy, and looks great.
  • Another strength for Acquisio is working together with your team and having the queue of changes to go through a single point to avoid massive mistakes.
  • The few times we needed assistance from our Account Manager, it was not good at all. You won't be able to get them on the phone. All problems are addressed via email after long waits for responses. I wouldn't recommend Acquisio for novices.
How many accounts is your team handling? How important is reporting to your clients? If you're handling a large volume of accounts and attractive reporting is extremely important, then I highly recommend Acquisio. The smaller your team and fewer your clients, the less I would recommend Acquisio.
  • Acquisio is definitely the premium solution to saving time and energy if you're already a seasoned [user] and understand what you're doing already in the campaigns.
Marin is great for smaller teams, but lacks in the sexy reporting. Kenshoo is the closest rival and a little more difficult to set up, but once you get it running it's great.
