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.

I like how Google Ads has evolved, especially with the new PMAX campaigns that are excellent for generating lots of impressions and brand awareness. Search campaigns are great for high-intent purposes and leads, which we use more for B2B clients, while PMAX is ideal for B2C.

The initial setup was very easy, and they have great support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can get quite costly, and you need to play the long game, it has a learning period for the campaigns, and ongoing optimization. I think certain automations are 'backwards' like Automated Keyword adding, or removal, as the 'AI' Or 'system' will add/remove keywords that are removed/added for a good purpose, but since the system wouldn't have the exact context, it might remove negative keywords that you don't want to pop up on.
