Google Ads Reviews

We use Google [Ads (formerly AdWords)] on behalf of our clients for a variety of different success metrics. Many of our campaigns are focused on conversions: purchases, calls, or bookings for services. Though measuring these conversions can be a bit tricky (as with any system), Google Ads is probably the easiest to measure the actual performance. Additionally, Google Ads uses machine learning to ensure that you are optimizing your ads and placement for maximum conversions for the ad spend. Other campaigns focus on win-back and remarketing, overall web traffic, and brand recognition (awareness) campaigns. Something new we've started doing for certain clients is using the Local Services Ads (Google Guarantee). These have been tremendously helpful and are one of my new favorite tools for certain industries.

Google Ads offers all eligible 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations the annual grant credit amounting to a maximum of $120,000 of advertising credit via Google Ads. The primary objectives that this completely free advertising credit affords our organization include, fundraising opportunities, general brand awareness, recruiting for volunteers, and promoting special events within the community.

It is used solely in my department. I do use it on consulting assignments, and have often taught individuals how to use it, so my experience lies in several facets with the program. Ultimately, it addresses our need for digital marketing.

Google Ads is being utilized for our digital department. We run AdWords campaigns on behalf of our clients. We run anything from your typical search campaign, to display campaigns, shopping campaigns, and YouTube campaigns. We are a digital agency that can pitch and fulfill a client's Google AdWords campaign. We manage hundreds of clients on a monthly basis.

I am expanding my business as a vacation rental owner. I currently utilize various vacation rental websites that charge service and subscription fees. I am seeking other independent avenues to promote my vacation rental property to generate more business. This will allow me the opportunity to book reservations at a lower cost and to give my guests more personalized service.

We are using Google Ads for about last 6 years. We are not able to make any profit using google Ads even after consulting numerous Google ads employees and external consultant. There are many marketing companies, who charges around 10% of the whole budget, even we consulted those companies. These kind of marketing companies simply run your Google Ads campaign and at the end of day, they do this to make some money.

Before you appoint any consulting companies, Ask them some minimum assurance on the ROI. If you are spending x amount of money ask your marketing company to get return of at least 3x or 4x or some amount. Marketing agencies might say, need few months to show results, after few months, you will be with empty pockets and no results using Google Ads.

Google Ads is completely bogus scheme and it is a big fraud. I request you all to read this carefully and if possible please share it with others.
1. In display Ads, there are lots of fraud clicks happens. You cant get refund for the same. There is no easy to get refunds.
2. In Google search Ads, there is no option to block repeat clickers...it means that, any competitor can keep on clicking your Ads.
3. Simply buy some AWS servers and keep rebooting the servers and click on your competitors...this is what told by one of the person involved in marketing.
4. Google comes up with too many features, too many changes within a year, It is NOT IMPROVEMENT TOWARDS THE SYSTEM. It is to confuse people with distraction. Just compare the Google Ads interface with today and whats there about 2 years ago, you will understand my point. The same way, Google confused SEO agencies for years.
5. Google Ad platform is a blackbox. - As a customer, you dont know what is happening inside the bidding. (who is bidding / how many other people bidding)

Many companies I work with have used Google Ads to effectively distribute their message to different target audiences. With Google Ads, we are able to fine tune both the intended marketing message as well as the type of consumer that will be interested in that message. This platform has had continued success with high clickthrough rates and conversions.

Simply opened up an account to familiarise myself with google ads. It was going to help us gain visibility on the web and gain more prospects.

Google Ads works well around 7 months of the year, but then they arbitrarily cut your ads without telling you, and because you haven't changed anything, you don't think to check. But you do notice that your phone doesn't ring so often. The you find out that they have blocked your ads, but allow your competitors to advertise the same services. When questioned, the staff seem clueless as to why your ad is blocked but just recite back the notices appearing on the screen. This time around it took 5 days and 8 contacts to determine that Google suddenly doesn't like you to advertise what it terms as "addiction services." This includes helping people to quit smoking, which, as a hypnotherapist, I happen to be very good at. When asked why others can advertise this service but I cannot, they tell you to fill out a form.
I asked them directly if they take payments from clients to block the competition. As you would expect, they denied it. So now, even after deleting any reference to quit smoking, my ads are still blocked, and yet my competition prosper. I must be quite a threat! This recent experience has made me realise just how tenuous it is to rely on Google Ads, because they are UNRELIABLE. I also believe that they are UNETHICAL. So where does that leave me - TV, Radio, Street Signage - ANYTHING BUT GOOGLE.

I signed up as a new Google Ads user based on a promotion for new users. I don't have any prior experience using Google Ads. I tried the service to increase traffic to my website.

Google Adwords was being used to direct potential customers to our website. It is seemingly easy to set up and places our website closer to the top of the page. Campaigns and ads are easy to create. However, just like every big business, customer service is lacking. When you ask for help because there is an issue on your account, you get automated messages. Moreover, unless you are a professional, you are wasting your money. I spent hundreds of dollars per month to get calls from people that were not local or wanted a completely different product. This product is not good for a small business.

Google Ads is currently used in a paid and a grant application for us. We utilize the nonprofit grant system to bolster our search rankings and guide people to specific pages based on their keywords. We utilize paid ads to run pre-roll and video discovery ads related to our YouTube videos. The marketing department is the only group that utilizes it.

I decided to try using what was then called AdWords, about a year ago, as part of my marketing campaign for my real estate career. Unfortunately, it did not work because I got calls from Paterson, a city an hour away that I do not work out of. There was no way to focus the leads any closer. So every time someone even just googled my keywords and clicked on my link in Paterson, I was being charged for it.

So I canceled. Fast forward approximately a year later, I find out that Google Ads, which it is now apparently called, had been charging one of my rarely used credit card accounts for 3 months! Even more so, the account they charged was NOT the account that I had even used back then. They somehow, without authorization, acquired it and proceeded to charge me month after month for a bogus campaign I had absolutely no part of!! What a nightmare. Beware. And they to this date, refuse to delete the campaign so that it doesn't happen again.

We use Google Ads for paid ads on Google Search. Google is the biggest driver of traffic to our website and has the highest volume of monthly searches for keywords relevant to our product offerings, so Google Ads has been a good choice for ensuring that we top the search results, especially where we don't rank via organic terms.

We use Google ads to drive paid traffic to our website - primarily as a source for inquiries. We also use the platform to do some brand awareness pieces - in conjunction with our organic search techniques, this platform allows us to get our brand out there in a meaningful way. The business problem this platform address is the shift from traditional advertising to online - years ago our primary sources of inquiry was through print publications - as the world changes, newspapers have disappeared and AdWords has filled in the gap.

Google Ads is being used by our Digital Marketing Department for our organization. It helps us with our search engine marketing and it benefits most of our clients with excellent click through rate. It also solves the problem of controlling our brand by bidding on our own keyword/brand and maintaining a strong quality score.

Our organization uses Google Adwords to promote varies products and lines of business. We have a nonprofit arm that uses it to promote events and involvement for free using the Google Adwords charitable grant.

Google Ads is used by the marketing department. However, its use impacts the entire organization as it is 100% web-based.

The company is wholly dependent upon SEM and Google Ads plays a major role in determining the products we sell as well as how aggressively we tackle the marketing. In addition, the ability to seamlessly link Google Ads to Google Analytics and other Analytics tools helps us to make informed decisions.

We are a digital ad agency focusing on the New Car Dealership market. We manage the Google Ads accounts for approximately 175 clients. Clients submit their budgets and objectives to us and we set up, manage and maintain their Google Ads accounts to maximize their ROI on their ad spend in Google Ads. We manage Text Ads, Display Ads and Video ads for these Auto Dealership clients.

I've worked for a re-seller of Google Ads (then known as AdWords - a branding change that happened about a year ago). We implemented the ad campaigns for several clients of our digital marketing agency. What we liked about it is that we knew how our ad money was being spent with a greater degree of certainty than if it were spent on traditional media ads (radio, print, TV).

Google Ads is a key driver of new business for many of our best clients. It allows our clients to target the kinds of problems that potential customers could get solved by our client, and help those potential customers connect. We have generally seen significant positive ROI with a solid, analytics-backed strategy, and a client willing to give Google ads their all.

Currently, I manage about 15 different Ads accounts. With them, I help my clients increase their presence online as well as their sells and business leads. I achieve this using different campaigns with different strategies, each one of them, very useful to what we are focusing on. At this point, I have about 2 years of experience using this platform, and I found it to be one of the main and most useful tools to achieve my client's marketing goals.

Google Ads is one of the advertising platforms that we utilize for clients and for our digital marketing agency. This platform is the gold standard of search engine marketing, not necessarily because of the platform's tools, but primarily for the shear size and reach of Google itself. Allowing clients to find new potential customers based on search intent is a foundation of the digital marketing space.

We use Google Ads internationally, mainly by our local digital marketing teams with help of agencies. First and foremost it is a marketing tool. We use it to get our YouTube campaigns visible to the right audience. It is an addition to our traditional TV advertising and oftentimes we run this simultaneously.

Our marketing department primarily uses Google Ads to serve relevant ads to prospective leads via search. We do some display advertising, but it is only a small fraction of our budget and it's all related to remarketing. With Google Ads we can get to the top of SERPs when we don't have strong enough content to rank for a search term organically.
