This is a big advantage compared to other platforms. Also, whenever we experienced any kind of difficulty with our campaigns, the customer team worked very fast and provided excellent solutions.
The support here in Brazil was confusing, this delayed the beginning of the campaign and displeased the company.
It's a great way to reach the best audience at the right time. Outbrain bring us the best ROI we ever seen from other PPC platforms.
We wasted alot of clicks and impressions on low quality websites as we are limited to how many we can actually exclude. This actually caused us to cancel alot of campaigns with Outbrain.
It has all the great features that I want. CPC is low, not as costly as other rivals, easy to use, are some features which make it amazing.
The traffic is worthless. None of the audience is remotely targeted, and it results in zero conversions.
I think Native Advertising is the future and i am happy working with such a big player like Outbrain and to be honest, i am enjoying their great customer support.
I left outbrain out of frustration. The native ads platform made my life a nightmare.
Google Ads is a fantastic tool for Ad and SEO management. It allows you to target any cohort or geographic with fantastic results delivering the conversion you are looking for.
The worst drawback about Google Adwords are the expensive ads. This platform is easily the most paid one and for a lower standard country this might be a problem.
Overall my experience has be excellent for myself and clients. The analytic reports help me better understand why certain campaigns run successfully and why some don’t.
Limitations on the ads that can be used. Sometimes they suspend accounts due to fraudulent activity when it was just created.
This is a win -win- win situation for all parties involved - the publisher, yourself and of course Google Ads. Having a website approved by google ads to display ads on it is such a great priviledge.
Overall, negative experience. Very unprofessional platform.
Plus, I love how I can track the performance of my ads in real time. It's pretty cool to see how many clicks and conversions my ads are getting, and it helps me make better decisions for my campaigns.
The UI feels somewhat clunky at times and lead to some data loss on a few occasions.
John C.: Hi, my name's John. I run a digital marketing agency and I give Outbrain five stars out of five. For more reviews like this, please click below. Before we used Outbrain, we looked at a whole suite of different advertising systems, mainly the Google display advertising and Bing display advertising. Both of those systems are great, but we decided to have a look at Outbrain. Outbrain gave us more opportunities to do native marketing. So it would allow us to put our adverts onto content that people are really interested in, not just being triggered by keywords. It's really simple and quick and easy to onboard with Outbrain. You just set up an online account. You don't need any special software or any specialist help. We set up an account, we set up a budget, and we could get going straight away. If you're currently considering Outbrain, I would look very strongly at their advertising platform and have a think about what sort of content you could write that's going to be really attractive and have some really good headlines to attract that right audience.
Jennifer D.: Hi, I'm Jennifer. I'm a controller. I give Lightspeed a value of two out of five. For more reviews, hit click below. I'm the financial controller at a power motorsports dealership. I use it every day being the controller, so my method of payments, all the cash and checks that come into the account, making payments out to vendors and invoices, tracking deals, doing major unit inventory, parts and accessories. Lightspeed is really good for the everyday users that don't have an accounting background or a bookkeeping background. My sales staff and service staff just click on icons that are easy to use, on how to add parts to a sale or a major unit inventory. It's easy because it can connect one unit to everything throughout the whole process of the sale. So I can look up a unit or a deal and see what's going on with it and see where everybody stands with it. Lightspeed, on its ongoing maintenance, is expensive. It's a monthly fee, which is not the best thing going, but it does keep you updated with Price Books. The other downside to Lightspeed is getting any help. Yesterday, I spent an hour and 20 minutes on hold. Today, I spent three hours on hold, waiting for one person to ask a question to solve the problem. If you don't get to the right department, they'll transfer you over but you're starting from scratch again, being on hold.
