Once set up well, only mild optimisation needed. ----- ### "Google ads is hit or miss" — 3.0/5 > **John** | *2 August 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google ads has the ability to get your ads in front of a lot of people in a pretty quick time frame. You have the ability to run different types of campaigns and ads, and you can really narrow down the geo-targeted area of where (and when) your ads run. > > **Cons**: Google ads changes constantly and the GUI can be frustrating. The new 'AI' campaigns can be hit-or-miss a lot of the time, showing irrelevant ads and to the wrong people. You also have to manage your cost/spend closely or it can go over easily. > > I have had very very mixed results with GA. For some campaigns it can really produce calls/leads, and other times it is useless and shows ads to the wrong people and does not produce leads at all. ----- ### "Digital Advertising Platform For your Business." — 5.0/5 > **Heldor** | *19 June 2026* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google ads has helped me increase my clients, I like it that in the last few months I've had agents call me to help me set up my ads, and provide clarity and understanding of the reports and data it brings to the table. > > **Cons**: It is very confusing at the beginning, and it can feel overwhelming with all different policies and restrictions. But once you learn more about them it gets easier. > > Google Ads has felt like a rollercoaster for me, first it was confusing, then as I learned it got better, but then there were some changes on the policy and felt like going back to step one, but now with their support it's gotten much better. ----- ### "Pay To Play and Rank At The Top For Searches" — 4.0/5 > **Feraud** | *20 July 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best way to get your local business in front our people searching for what they have to offer. SEO can take time so bypassing that with ads get you top of the page for a cost. > > **Cons**: The pricing has really increased over the Year and also the changes to keyword / keypharse search relevancy. Even phrase match now get you some off topic words. Plus a lot of their AI recommendations don't make sense to a lot of businesses. > > Been using it to manage and get clients leads and business for over the last 10 years. It's the most used search engine where people are search so you have to pay to play essentially. ----- ### "Google Ads Whitelabel Customer" — 4.0/5 > **Adam** | *22 April 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to start using and it provides a simple option for reaching a large audience with relevant needs. > > **Cons**: At times the platform can be too restrictive or too broad thinking that it's establishing an ease of use. While maybe true, it doesn't make the platform better. ----- Page: 1 / 42\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/213339/google-ads?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/213339/google-ads) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | ----- ## Structured Data
