Report: The future of paid-search marketing is machine learning and AI

Acquisio released a report (PDF) this month that argues machine learning algorithms can dramatically improve paid-search marketing performance vs. accounts that don't use them. Acquisio calls its suite of machine learning tools "Acquisio Turing," after British computer scientist Alan Turing. The company looked at thousands of campaigns over a two-year period, comparing results from machine learning-supported accounts with those not utilizing machine learning. Acquisio concluded, "Across all business types and budget sizes globally, the accounts using Acquisio's machine learning technology are outcompeting those that aren't, giving advertisers an advantage." This is especially true at low budget levels.
