"Great tool for flexible advertising"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Smarter Ecommerce?

Smarter Ecommerce is not just a friendly online marketing agency. They also offer two EAE tools called Whoop and AdEngine. These two tools automatically generate Google Ads campaigns according to their business rules and templates, the engine is for classic SEA ads, and Whoop is for shopping ads. I like AdEngine's total control over the account structure; here, you are not tied to specific keyword structures, ad groups, and campaigns. Also, AdEngine is connected to the Google Ads API, which simplifies the update processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smarter Ecommerce?

SMEC delivers the desired performance for us, so I can't improve anything in the tool's output. Regarding cost, SMEC's AdEngine's is in the premium area. If you reduce the customization requirements a bit, there are cheaper solutions on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Smarter Ecommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

This can be used to generate Google Shopping campaigns. With different business rules, shopping product data can be converted with an ETL process and loaded into Google Ads in a suitable form. Various filter functions can be used, but also conversion options, so that only the desired products are advertised in the correct format. With AdEngine, I can create campaigns fully and automatically according to my ideas based on product data sources and send them to the Google API for uploading. These processes work quickly and smoothly, which is essential for large campaigns with many products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
