What 152 Arbolus experts think of Google Ads
Individual NPS ratings are concentrated in the 7–10 range, although some respondents score the product from 2–6. Among records with renewal information, affirmative intent is more common than uncertain or negative intent; one respondent explicitly reports no intent to renew. Adoption is mostly established, with many records marked MoreThan1Year, alongside under-one-year and pilot users and a small number of uncertain or offboarding cases. Qualitative feedback praises search intent, reach, measurement, and scalable acquisition, while citing rising CPCs, complexity, weak transparency in automated campaigns, and support concerns.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
