Both platforms offer powerful advertising optimization software, however, Optily has a few tricks up its sleeve which may be able to convince you to try it for your business…(revenue-based financing

Google boasts “Over 267 million unique visitors and 4.8 billion daily interactions,” making it one of the most effective places to advertise your business.

It may be silly, but let’s face it, we often judge by looks. So rather than shying away from it, let’s steer into it and see how both platforms look.
Optily
The Optily dashboard is user-friendly, provides in-depth analysis, and is easily customizable.
Below is an example dashboard for an online bookstore. As improving your ROAS is what we do here at Optily, I thought it only fitting to give a quick snapshot of what the Conversions ROAS Overview screen looks like.
In this customization it includes:
- Overall ROAS
- Overall Channel Revenue
- CPC, CPM, and Ad spend
- A detailed breakdown of individual campaigns
- A graph visualizing and comparing individual campaign performances
Google Ads
When you begin using Google Ads, it starts you off with a general account overview dashboard.
This screen provides information on how your various ad campaigns are performing. It includes data such as whether or not you have more activity than usual and the specific keywords people are searching which brings them to your ad.
This allows you to quickly determine whether or not your campaigns are performing at optimal.
Truth be told though, not many people use the general account overview dashboard and opt for a custom one instead.
