What do you like best about Google Ads?

Google Ads is the most simple and most helpful advertising tool. SOme exceptional features include:

Measurability - Each and every activity on both the Ad and the website can be tracked and passed back to Google Ads.

Flexibility - We can control each and every component of the campaign namely, Geo, Demo, Audience, Interest, Ad copies, Keywords, Ad types, Placement etc.

Ad formats - We can use any of the Ad formats namely Video, Static Banners, Text Ads etc from one tool itself.

Other than the feasibility of targeting and contextual selection Google Ads helps us in driving better revenue across different platforms and ad formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Ads?

I majorly have faced two issues:

Frequent Algorithm changes - Google Ads introduces new options and new algorithm changes very frequenctly due to which campaign performances sometimes may go down after trying to optimize the campaign for a long time.

New Ad formats - Namely Pmax, Though this campaign type drives good performance for some campiagns in the longer run however control around placements (Youtube) and Frequency of exposure is not available in this ad formats due to which overexposure happens.

Google launched automated channels which puts digital marketers less levers to for optimization.
