Return on Investment

we saw a 200% increase in website traffic after running targeted search and demographic ads. It lead to some good leads for our business.
We target users searching for "Web development company," resulting in highly qualified leads. campaign generates 10 high-quality leads at a cost when we reach our budget, it stops. And 10 leads are enough for us to play with in a week. Then we run the campaign again.
We as a service provider were able to track exactly how many sign-ups came from a specific ad campaign, it helped us to calculate ROI accurately.
So overall great tool to use. But I don't think everyone should do it. It is for people who has some good amount of investment to play with.
