Overall Satisfaction with Marin Software

Marin software was being used to effectively manage pay per click accounts for several clients. It was only being used by the SEM department. It addressed the problem of achieving desired metrics in a manageable way.
  • One platform to manage Google, Yahoo, MSN, Facebook pay per click accounts
  • Ability to automate PPC optimization
  • Advanced reporting and access for clients dashboards
  • Easier optimization concepts
  • Ability to connect to second tier search engines
  • Ability to easily find link between SEO and SEM efforts
  • Decreased cost per lead
  • Ability to identify conversion opportunities
  • Employee effiency
I no longer work in the field of PPC, I have switched to digital display advertising.
Well suited for accounts for large budgets and strict cost per lead metrics. Also helpful for accounts that require different locations, time zones, currencies. Not appropriate for smaller size accounts that are solely focused on branding.
