  • I have clients that attribute the majority of their revenue to paid advertisement (Google being the primary of the paid).
  • Because of the expense, it's important not to go into running ads with a budget that is too low. Otherwise you will not see the conversions you'd be hoping for and it would be a poorly made investment. It's vital to allocate a healthy budget from the beginning. Make sure to do proper analysis in order to forecast a healthy budget.
  • Along with budget, you need time. Don't expect overnight results from day 1. These campaigns work off of algorithms that need to learn. Be patient, and if managed properly, you should see the workable data that matters to you after the first month. If you get scared too soon and pull out of advertising in a couple weeks, then don't [start using it]. You really want to be ready to run ads with the same rules of investment of any platform; only invest what you're comfortable with losing. Too many times, people make this mistake and panic too soon before letting the campaigns do their work; [you need to learn how to use GoogleAds and see how the campaigns will] grow in order to increase ROI (coupled with daily maintenance for the proper changes to be made for targeting after analysis).

  • Google has helped us gain visibility in a crowded space - we've been able to really push new traffic to our site; people who had never heard of it because we are a relatively new organization (launched in 2016).
  • Google has, unfortunately, wasted some of our money - if you don't have the staff to monitor and update ads every single day, you'll almost surely waste some money. Reminds me of the old adage, I know 50% of my marketing budget is wasted but I am just not sure which 50%...
  • Google has definitely helped us in retargeting and bringing users back who visited our site at least once.

  • It had a massively positive impact for us, allowing us to generate revenue from ad space on our website.
  • Being able to custom quote ad space on our site, instead of relying on AdSense allowed us to increase our monthly ad revenue as well.
  • Providing reliable data to advertisers regarding impressions and CTRs helped create repeat-customers.

  • It has helped us scale up performance marketing
  • It helped us save on the outsourcing cost as we were able to move marketing inhouse
  • It helped save on marketing dollars as it was better than most of the other channels in terms of targeting optimization

  • Great ROI, we are a rather large publisher, but with the low ad serving cost, we still make a margin.
  • We have to go through a reseller, therefore, we never get direct Google support, which is frustrating.
  • More integration with other Google Products.
