    CriteoGoogle Ads
    Considered Both Products
    Criteo
    Chose Criteo
    Marketing Solutions by Criteo is the best at re-targeting, and you can expect more results than Google Ads. The ads would be placed on more decent websites than on Taboola for sure.

    Chose Criteo
    Google Ads: it's quite complicated to manage correctly. Criteo is very easy to use.
    Incentivized
    Chose Criteo
    We use Google Ads for classic ads but for the display ads, we selected Criteo Dynamic Retargeting. First of all because it's french ! ;) And because we think Criteo is the best tool for retargeting as it invented this technology ! We like the way we are accompanied by the …
    Incentivized
    Chose Criteo
    It's easier to implement and more quick. Moreover you have an account manager compared to Google AdWords.
    Incentivized
    Chose Criteo
    Criteo Dynamic Retargeting brings different value and possibilities compared to the others. It is a great addition to Google Ads, if you are not doing well with Display Campaigns and/or if you cannot use Dynamic Remarketing on Google cause your products are not "physical". …
    Incentivized
    Chose Criteo
    Marketing Solutions by Criteo sometimes deliveries a higher revenue volume than other partners, but we usually run more than one retargeting partner at the same time, as we can have different inventories in which ads are displayed.
    Incentivized
    Chose Criteo
    Returns at the same cost.
    Incentivized
    Chose Criteo
    Criteo is dynamic in nature and easy to set up and run the campaign. They have a dedicated account manager who can help as and when required. Though we have used Google Display Network earlier, ROI is great in Criteo.
    Incentivized
    Chose Criteo
    We've run dynamic retargeting on Google and Facebook, but Criteo offers the strongest and most brand-safe reach across the web, along with better technical support and a much stronger direct return on ad spend.
    Incentivized
    Chose Criteo
    We work with several products to carry out good retargeting. Criteo Dynamic Retargeting is more suitable to generate a direct link to our products.
    Incentivized
    Chose Criteo
    Criteo can be seen as the European market leader in retargeting but other competitors like Google or Sociomantic offer similar tools and placements. It makes sense to try out different campaigns and see what works best for you. Criteo performed very well on several campaigns we …

    Chose Criteo
    Consistently performing on display network campaigns focused on retargeting.
    Incentivized
    Chose Criteo
    We don't exclusively use Criteo but use this platform along with a range of other digital marketing platforms.
    Incentivized
    Chose Criteo
    I prefer AdRoll when it comes to retargeting. We selected Criteo due to the client requesting we test it out. Criteo is much harder to manage and to date has provided less than stellar ROAS.

    Criteo, however, is much better than using the Google Display Network on AdWords. …
