What do you like best about Google Display Ad Network?

Google Display Network is the most effective of the competing PPC (paid ads) software on the market. The best thing about it other than some potentially great return on ad spend is how easy it is to set up an advertising campaign targeting the display network. From there, google does the rest for you with their machine learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Display Ad Network?

The smart display campaigns have performed very poorly for me, and a standard search display seems to be more in line with where I need my ROAS to be for a given month over month comparison to keep my business ad spend manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple Platform for Creating Google Ad Campaigns"

What do you like best about Google Display Ad Network?

Creating campaigns is relatively easy on the Google Ad Network. It is a simple to set up the budget, locations, goals, and target audience for the campaigns.

What do you dislike about Google Display Ad Network?

Like any other ad campaign designer, it is can be difficult to navigate all the fine tuning and such. I wish it was more intuitive in targeting the audiences we want and getting the keywords for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
