But bear in mid you'll need someone on it quite often (if you're a small company it warrants consideration). It also gets really expensive, really fast- particularly if you're competing with bigger players they will outbid you in a straight race. > > It has been positive largely, I've seen some positive results. It does require consideration in to how exactly you'll use it beforehand (and to what desired effect) so you can maximise the time you spend on it\! ----- ### "An effective way to drive more traffic to a website" — 4.0/5 > **Ben** | *19 June 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Ads is a great way to ensure that you are promoting your website to more people and that it is targeted to the right people. There is a lot that you can customise with Google Ads to ensure that your ads are effective and get the right conversion rates. > > **Cons**: As there is a lot that can be done with Google Ads, this can also make it confusing to ensure that you are doing what is best for your ads to hit the right people. More could be done to make the interface easier and simpler for the average user to achieve their aims. > > I have used Google Ads for some time to promote ads on Google to drive more website traffic. For this, they have been beneficial and have definitely driven more traffic when used. ----- ### "Must have for all business owners" — 5.0/5 > **Mara Rose** | *12 March 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Essential tool to drive quality traffic to your website and get new customers. > > **Cons**: Changes to the platform that remove control from the advertiser or visibility > > Used it for years for clients and personally ----- ### "Google Ads - only leads" — 5.0/5 > **Adrian** | *10 November 2024* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The most I like at this platform is that you can setup the campaign in a well determinated area so it can increase the conversion. Another good feature is that you can setup a low budget for a campaign and test the results, increasing after for better results or cancel the campaign. The stats of each campaign are shown immediately so it can be compared with live results. Reports are well build and easy to get, even better if you connect Google Ads with Analytics. > > **Cons**: It can get costly with low results when a campaign is set up incorectly, for a better result you need to check the documentation and tutorials. > > Google Ads is the king of advertisement, is relative easy to use for beginners, the documentation is very good and has advanced features that can increase the results of the campaigns. ----- ### "A great tool that misses one critical feature." — 4.0/5 > **Caspar** | *9 October 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Achieve excellent results and fantastic functionality for relatively low cost. Easy to duplicate campaigns quickly. Powerful targeting. > > **Cons**: Can't set budgets caps on campaigns. Seems such a basic thing to include yet can only set daily caps. > > Generally very good, we recieve solid return on investment through Google Ads. Yet, often overspend because of no ability to include overall campaign budget caps. ----- Page: 1 / 42\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/213339/google-ads?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/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
