Google Ads Reviews & Product Details

Currently, I use Google Ads to boost lead generation campaigns for companies that sell services or products to other businesses. I find that its statistics dashboard is easy to use and understand. The taxonomy of the functions is easy to understand. The integrations with others are more complex, and I usually handle them with other products offered by Google, such as Tag Manager. I like that the performance is generally good, and the delivery and configuration are optimal. The prices for some categories, like auto parts sales, seem high and very restrictive if you market brands that are not your own. The support is good, but it still doesn't resolve quickly when there's an account block, which is frustrating. I haven't used the AI, but I saw that VEO, their video AI, and Nanobanana, their image AI, do a good job of adding scenes to your products, only that in most cases we advertise services.

Google Ads policies are usually well-intentioned. But they exaggerate and limit many categories, such as the sale of auto parts from other brands, supposedly for violating or counterfeiting. This policy greatly limits the work for the Car Audio and Performance marketing sector. Also, in Health, many specialist doctors are limited in offering their certified knowledge due to Google's policies. I don't like the difficult correct integration of conversions when they are through WhatsApp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The feature I like most about Google Ads is that it lets me create ads across multiple Google channels, such as the Search Network for Google’s search engine and the Video Network for YouTube and other Google products. For me, those two channels are the most important. Google Ads also helps me use my ads efficiently to reach customers for my business and stay focused on specific business goals.

There aren’t any particular features I dislike, but if I had to point out one thing, it would be the ads policy. Sometimes Google Ads is very strict with its policies, and it can feel like they go beyond their intended scope and end up limiting ads and related assets. Ultimately, that impacts the results I’m trying to achieve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a widely used ads platform, also known as Adwords nowadays. It offers many useful features, such as Keyword Planner, which helps with keyword research for any website. With this, we can make more calculated decisions for both the SEO and SEM of our website. The Negative Keywords feature is helpful for avoiding ad triggers on unrelated search terms. It also provides plenty of options for targeting ads to a specific set of users based on location, age, gender, and other criteria. Smart bidding is a good option for automating bidding decisions to achieve better ROI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn’t provide clear details on how the budget is being consumed. At times, the budget gets used up pretty quickly, and the ROI remains low. Google’s "Auto-Apply Recommendations" can sometimes increase your budget or change your bidding strategy in ways that benefit Google's revenue more than your ROI. it is not easy for a newbie to accurately create Ad Campaigns, Ad groups and Ads in a way that generates more ROI.

I use Google Ads for marketing and advertising, and what I like most is how measurable it is. I can clearly see what ads are performing well and optimize campaigns to get better results. It allows me to track my campaigns and see metrics like clicks, impressions, conversions, and cost per conversion in real time. This helps me make necessary changes to improve campaign productivity when something is underperforming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While I believe it's a powerful platform, one area that can sometimes be challenging is the learning curve, especially with how frequently features and interfaces change. Maybe having a guide when there are new updates so it's more user-friendly, especially for beginners. Simplifying some of the navigations or providing clearer guidance for beginners would help.

I like the ease of use of Google Ads and its simple interface. The clickable insights are really helpful too, especially when I'm not sure what a term means. I can just click on a little ? icon, and a new window opens with the definition and a helpful text blurb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like how Google Ads is constantly recommending raising my budget. Every single day the recommendation is always to spend more money. They need to do a much better job with smaller budgets because not everyone can afford $2,000+ a month for ads. Also, it took quite some time for the initial setup, almost a week. I wish it would learn more from the account to optimize high-value converting keywords and not show completely non-relevant search terms, which just waste the budget.

Google Ads helps us find new products in the market, and it also increases our interest in them. It helps me stay updated in my day-to-day life as well. In addition, it provides new creative ideas and innovation, which makes our motive and vision clearer when it comes to product information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Google Ads repeats the same things. Still, it definitely makes me interested in buying the product, especially when I hear new comments from people who are already using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's still the 800 pound gorilla in terms of reach and user intent. Despite AI, Google search is still relevant, but now they have to depend on branding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The whole engine feels designed to extract as much money as possible from the average user. The suggestions seem geared toward generating clicks unless the user is proficient enough to set up and use conversion tracking. That’s no problem for our agency, but it’s a major issue for Joe the shop owner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Third-party integration with other Google services, such as Google Analytics, smooths out workflows.

It may be complex to use, although time is required to master the best practices. There may be escalating costs if the campaigns are not well monitored. Some of the reports may be quite daunting or even puzzling. Approvals of the ads or certain restrictions may delay the start of the campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
