Operations Manager Farming Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Went to 3rd party services to manage the quality of leads" March 9, 2026 2.0 This is a product that I tried for 3 days before stopping completely. The cost of running the service versus the value just isn't there. It is easy to get started, and will produce some leads, though they are low quality and many time borderline fraudulent. Pros Google's Marketing Platform is easy to access and set up. The interface is easy to navigate and access from any device. Analytics are easy to set up. Cons The pricing is confusingly expensive. Customer Support to understand why each lead costs what it does is not helpful. As a Marketing tool, this product will get you calls, though many will be dead air and you will be charged for the blank calls with not support for the issues.
