What do you like best about Adthena?

Being able to monitor competitors across both SEM and SEO.

Unlike other tools, Adthena actually scrapes the Google Search Results page and extrapolates its own data/measurement (good for external validation). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adthena?

Not being able to automate "exports" of reporting. Understand there is an API, but this requires a very technical team to help with integration.

It is possible, i.e. export to Google's BigQuery and then export into Datastudio Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adthena solving and how is that benefiting you?

Visibility across both SEM and SEO in terms of Clickshare, Impression Share etc.

Being able to monitor competitor adcopy and also flag any infringements.

No other tool can do this well and/or as accurately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adthena?

Adthena shows me the bigger picture of what's happening in my market. I see things that happen from my account and make assumptions on competitor activity and strategy, but Adthena validates my hypothesises with the data. It also points out new trends I haven't managed to spot yet, and identifying what's happening from a total market perspective is key to gaining market share and search revenue.

One of the features I like is the spend vs clickshare metric, which shows relative spend efficiency. Knowing this helps me reinvest budget between my campaigns.

The other feature I really like is the automatic screenshots of search results, particularly from competitors. This helps me because it shows me things I might not be seeing in my own search results, such as offers in other states and specific messaging for specific user segments I might not fall into. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adthena?

There's a bit of discrepancy between Google ads and Adthena, but for the most part, the trends are the same if not specific metrics. There's also a lack of a "contains" function to use within filters which would be helpful and quicker to use than search term groups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adthena solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm seeing gaps in the market that my competitors aren't bidding on, and that lets me add in those terms and dominate those searches, which is worth incremental revenue to me.

I can also prove market trends to support the search strategy that I otherwise would have to extrapolate or estimate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adthena?

Adthena have some excellent customer success teams. My experience with Anna Dutton, Alice Tonks, Stephanie Richardson, has been exceptional, just to name a few. As an agency, we have recommended Adthena to multiple clients off the back of their support. They do a great job of ensuring that we get the best out of the tool.

The best thing Adthena gives us is detailed click share and impression share trends for customisable search term groups. Tracking your growth within the addressable search market is invaluable, providing an objective set of KPIs tailored to your business and vertical. If your goal is to dominate the search market in a particular vertical, you need Adthena. Aside, it's an excellent source of data to provide additional competitive context to your search performance, that delves deeper than native engine tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adthena?

The only downside is the scrapping frequency and the increasingly dynamic nature of Google SERPs according to audience, location, and context. Adthena's data must be used knowing this context, and some of the granular detail might be misleading if this is not considered. A thorough understanding of how search results work at the query-level is required. Using the tool to manage and control a search presence between paid and organic, at the keyword level, is out of step with modern automated bidding features. The tool can promise the ability to do this, so it's important to use the data in the right way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Adthena:

I would certainly suggest trialing Adthena. Their customer success teams can create a plan tailored to your business challenges to prove the tool's value. There are multiple ways it can be used, and I feel that there is value in it for many search adverisers as a result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adthena solving and how is that benefiting you?

-Providing valuable context to performance

-Pursuing growth strategies and using Adthena as a KPI

-Using Adthena as an additional measurement tool to assess the impact of withdrawing from search results

-Policing trademark infringements by affiliates and competitors

- Assessing competitor ad copy at scale, to inform ad testing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adthena?

The market trends and market share sections really allow us to monitor any changes in the landscape. The search term detail report is also very beneficial and helps us monitor our performance and our competitors' performance at the search term level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adthena?

The limited visibility we have in the time of day/day of week performance. Not being able to see estimated clicks for adverts within the UI. Limited options for viewing screenshots of ads seen in the SERP. No granular data on which geos perform best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adthena solving and how is that benefiting you?

Google Ads provides such limited data on our competitors, and advertisers have lost some visibility into search term performance due to changes made to the search terms reporting. Adthena really helps to fill in those gaps and provide detailed information on what our competitors are doing and how they're performing in comparison to us.

What do you like best about Adthena?

I like the Smart Monitor which keeps me updated on competitor movements. I also use their Market Trends a lot in my competitor analyses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adthena?

I can't think of anything I dislike about Adthena. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Adthena:

Adthena may not be the cheapest competitor analysis tool in the market but it is definitely worth it. The insights that you will get from this tool are really helpful when doing your campaign strategies, marketing plan, and even when you're planning your website restructure. I recommend Adthena especially to businesses with tight marketing budget. The value that you will get just by observing competitor movements and trends is really good and worth it. I also recommend this if you want to stay competitive in the paid search auction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adthena solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being a smaller firm, we're also a smaller player in the digital advertising space. Our budget obviously couldn't compete with the bigger firms but Adthena has somehow evened out the playing field for us. Having the capability to see competitor movements is a big plus in planning my campaign strategies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not 100% sure how some of the metrics used in the tool are calculated—also, their integrity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adthena?

Outstanding innovation and continued development of the leading product in this $BN dollar advertising field, Without a doubt, Adthena is the best SEM competitor analysis tool on the market. It allows advertisers to take more control over what works in delivering their marketing and their consumer's outcomes.

A rare, refreshing and genuine care for the client/customer in a MarTech world where we all see all too often - the lack of correlation in objectives of acquiring clients and helping them achieve their marketing goals

Competitive pricing, despite a market leading product that the world's biggest advertising suppliers rely upon Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adthena?

The fact that companies are willing to spend so much on advertising... without understanding what it means for them, in an environment where a competitive auction stil llargely dictates results Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adthena solving and how is that benefiting you?

We translate SEM outcomes to market conditions, as well as our own individual results - allowing us to make better performance-based decisions. Ultimately, our clients can be smarter than their competition - often where a high % of their marketing budget is placed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adthena?

Adthena gives you unmatched competitor insight. The platform permits you to see which competitors are bidding on which of your terms and where they are generating traffic from sources that you do not cover Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adthena?

I love the service but like a greedy kid in a candy store you always want more of something good. The only minor quibble that I have is that when you switch between different queries you have to be careful to review the filter settings as these can revert to defaults if you are not careful. That I have to stretch to something so petty should give an indication of how happy I am with the core product and the insight that it offers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Adthena:

The service by its nature is complex. A mature SEM program involves thousands of keywords and multiple competitors bidding on different groups of keywords. Configuring the account is a very significant task but it was easier than expected for two reasons:

- Clear easy to use UI

- Excellent proactive & highly responsive customer success team

Configuring such a sophisticated tool to your bespoke requirements will never be easy. To paraphrase Einstein Adthena have made the configuration task as simple as possible but not too simple that it compromises the utility of the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adthena solving and how is that benefiting you?

Adthena enables us to understand which competitors are driving up and down bid prices both at category and specific keyword level

This informs our day to day management of our SEM program as well as directing our product efforts to search for improvements that can deliver conversion rate improvements on terms that work better for our competitors Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
