Overall Satisfaction with unbounce

I used unbounce in coordination with Google Ads for the duration of about 6 months. As using direct links to Amazon listings aren't allowed due to Google Ads guidelines, I used Unbounce to create a landing page where those who clicked the ads would be directed. The Unbounce page then directed people to the Amazon listing. I only had 1 landing page and it provided tracking and other data/metrics.

Pros

  • Offers templates for you to create your own landing page or upload a custom one you create
  • Provides tracking and metrics so you can evaluate the success of your campaigns

Cons

  • The price is ridiculous for what is being offered
  • Most ecommerce sites will offer you the option for a landing page for far less
  • It was a quick solution to the need of a landing page
  • It allowed me to quickly set up a landing page and get my Google Ad campaign up and running without having to worry about building out a website
  • The cost was so prohibitively high that, combined with the cost of ads management, ad spend, and the Unbounce landing page, I lost money on the 6-month campaign

Do you think unbounce delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with unbounce's feature set?

Yes

Did unbounce live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of unbounce go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy unbounce again?

No

If a person has no website outside of an Amazon listing and has no access to a graphic designer, then I guess unbounce may be a suitable option to get a landing page set up quickly for use with Google Ads. However, it would actually be cheaper to set up a simple SquareSpace website with a custom domain and still get the same data/metrics and a great looking landing page, even without the need for a graphic designer to create anything custom.
