Reasons to Outsource PPC Campaigns

Oct 16, 2005 - 8:12 pm 0 by

A Search Engine Watch Thread featured late last week, asks the question, Why Should a Business Outsource a PPC Campaign?

The reasons listed:

  • A SEM firm has years of experience managing PPC campaigns.
  • Automation. SEM firms have software to manage it (is that a good thing?)
  • SEM firms can create targeted landing pages.
  • SEM firms have sophisticated tracking capabilities and are able to specify which keywords are performing better.
  • Many SEM companies have a wide range of marketing experience across many industries.
  • Time...is it more economically feasible for them to employ a person in house to do this or outsource it?
  • A dedicated consultant is more skilled at scanning the environment to determine if there are threats or trends that require incremental or fundamental strategy shifts.
