Digital Marketing Consultant - Freelance Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/9/2025 "Boosts Lead Generation with Seamless Integrations" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Google Ads? 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 best thing about Google Ads is the seamless integration with Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and our CRM. Automating everything with Google gives us valuable insights, and it’s really helpful that they offer a free consultancy service for users who have spent above a certain amount. The initial setup was very easy, and they have great support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Google Ads? 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.
