Overall Satisfaction with Google Ads (formerly AdWords)

We use Google Ads to support priority campaigns to drive traffic to certain areas of our site, specific products, etc. The platform offers the potential to reach new users, retarget existing ones, and overall drive sales that we otherwise could have or would have missed out on. The best part of the platform is the ROAS, as clicks are usually pretty cheap for very good returns
  • Reaching new customers
  • Easy to use platform
  • Good ROAS
  • You can only have one draft campaign at a time
  • Certain functions are hard to find (setting monthly budget)
  • The recommendations can be better, ie keyword suggestions are not always relevant
  • Easy to use platform
  • Powerful & specific targeting
  • Reporting
  • Good ROAS
  • Traffic increases
  • Lifetime Value
Google Ads can be more useful than LinkedIn & Facebook Ads because it is reaching a larger pool of users. Both platforms have even better/more targeting options, but they limit the amount of reach you will receive. Google Ads catches users at the top of the sales funnel.

Google Ads are great for companies looking to drive traffic, sales, etc that have the budget to bid on certain keywords. The platform can give small to medium size companies a chance against larger ones. One scenario where Ads may not work is for smaller businesses who don't have the budget to bid on certain keywords because the CPC is too expensive.
