not exactly intuitive; we had to receive hands-on training to truly understand the product capabilities in a meaningful way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Industry benchmark tool for Search "
4/5
What do you like best about Google Marketing Platform?

Ease of use compared to other tools such as Marin and AMO, bid strategies usually work to target ROAS or CPA. Reporting functionality is smooth easy to set up dashboards etc. and automated emails with visualizations for other stakeholders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Marketing Platform?

Can be tricky to control budget pacing - reducing target ROAS or CPA does not usually mean a slowdown in spend. Campaign budgets have to be manually adjusted unlike AMO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DoubleClick for Search"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Google Marketing Platform?

The largest benefit is that all search accounts can be consolidated into one UI. As a larger advertiser we have multiple accounts with each engine and it's not always easy to make large scale optimizations if there is no tool like DDM in place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Marketing Platform?

The cost. The fee is based on ad spend that is being pulled into the DDM UI whether you are using any of their bid optimization tools or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
