One of our customers said: Our small mining operation needed to go from paper based process to digital forms. At first, Google forms allowed us to use this Web-based platform that lets individuals and businesses of all sizes build customizable forms to conduct surveys and generate real-time response charts.
We saw that a small sample of our field workers quickly adopted the new way of working.
Step 1: accomplished.
Now unto step 2.
How do we deploy this unto our whole team? We needed email notifications, offline response collection when without wifi on the field. Our CIO and his director of operations needed deep data and trends analysis as well. Our inspectors, when doing their audits, needed to capture approx. 25 high definition pictures, some audio notes and a video which wasn't really possible with google forms.
So, we can 100% credit the use of google forms to our transition towards a paperless process, but as we navigated saashub.com a little more, we were able to discover a world of alternatives. We strongly suggest to start using google forms before undergoing a big implementation plan towards such enterprise level inspection tools like nspek or even cheaper solutions like prontoforms.
I am not sure if we would start with google's solution first if we would to do this digital transformation all over, but it did allow us to discover it's limits pretty quickly.
At some point, we needed custom fields and functions, and none of us was able to code, so the nSpek training that comes with the application definitely sets it's self apart, giving us full autonomy.

New campaigns: 1. Video campaign - the most successful in sense of scaling was youtube campaign. Using youtube we could scale account by ~25% which is a lot. 2. Shopping campaign - not sure what you sell, but shopping is a very good channel for some products. 3. New keywords to expand your reach. Probably there is not much you can do here, I believe you have most of you keywords already in your account (?).... Source: about 3 years ago
Anyway, to say that Microsoft does not want to be another Google is hilarious. They too have their own advertising platform (https://ads.microsoft.com) and their own browser which also tracks people for personalized advertising. Pile that on to the worse privacy controls and deals with oil companies, and you have a far worse company than Google ever was. Source: about 3 years ago
Microsoft absolutely makes its money selling ads. Not all of it, but plenty of it. They're definitely trying to be another Google. https://ads.microsoft.com/. Source: about 3 years ago
