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.
