Overall Satisfaction with Google Ads (formerly AdWords)
We use Google Ads for SEM activities, general display, and video advertising. We started doing all marketing activities in-house, this includes buying ad slots. Daily usage of Ads happens within our Marketing department. Google Ads enables us to buy ad slots on a wide range of websites and ad spaces with relative ease. Its easy to learn interface helped us move that part of ad management in-house fast - saving us money.
- Smart Ads - Machine learning optimization of ads and bidding.
- Good analytics overview of ads performance.
- Search, video, display and Gmail ads in one tool.
- Ability to connect to Google Analytics for audiences and conversion optimization options.
- Well structured UI helps you answer your questions quickly.
- Script support enables users to make automated changes in Ads.
- Dynamic remarketing - takes some know-how to set-up but well worth it.
- Machine learning optimizations need a large amount of data - might be a problem for smaller sites/markets≥
- Some features are location-based.
- Support may sometimes be hard to get.
- Search Ads generally work great - as a rule, they give us a very decent ROI.
- Display Ads performance depends on your ad copies - we are satisfied with our results thus far.
- Operating with Google Ads in-house saves us on agency fees.
- Dynamic remarketing has shown us great results!
Google Ads, in my opinion, does not really have any competition. Google Display Network reaches over 90% of internet users...
