### "Drives Leads, but Conversions?"

October 10, 2018

5.0

Pros

We get a ton of traffic from this channel, at relatively inexpensive prices. But I'm not sure if these leads are actually materializing into new business for our company. . .

Cons

Leads can vary widely in quality. Most visitors just bounce after click, some view through convert, have not gotten much direct response.

### "Worthless untargeted traffic"

February 8, 2018

1.0

Pros

Outbrain's interface is pretty easy to use, and it's very quick to get your campaign up and running.

Cons

The traffic is worthless. None of the audience is remotely targeted, and it results in zero conversions.

4.0

Pros

Easy to use after a quick onboarding In-line editing in tool Great CPCs

### "Read the brand name sites you know and love"

November 21, 2018

4.0

Pros

Outbrain is great because they give site owners and brands the ability to advertise on different big name brand across the internet. They do the work and reach out to these sites, while giving you an easy to use platform that allows for easy campaign management.

Cons

The software is pretty standard and has a bit of a learning curve. We'd like to see better options for lower ad spend on new ad campaigns, and not giving such priority to bigger brands with bigger budgets.

### "Native ads Advertisers pay attention"

May 12, 2021

3.0

Frustrated to the core and banned

Pros

Easy to sign up to this that's all I can say

Cons

I left outbrain out of frustration. The native ads platform made my life a nightmare. You can't get most things approved on there

### "The best choice for ad spend"

February 28, 2019

5.0

Pros

I really appreciate the interest targeting feature and they have one of the lowest minimum ad spends in the industry.

Cons

Wish they could go just a little lower on the ad spend, like $5/day, to help provide more flexibility when testing effectiveness of copy and campaigns.
