  2. Does your company have similar expertise in-house?
  3. Will you need to hire new employees and train them?

  5. How long will it take to grow and train your in-house PPC management team?
  6. Can you dedicate the time and resources?

Setting up a pay per click campaign and managing it can be a very time-consuming exercise. Typical campaigns with just 10,000 keywords can take 1-2 full days to set up and organize correctly, and this does not include time required for keyword research, competitive analysis or learning how to use the Google AdWords and Yahoo! Search Marketing systems.

  1. Have you estimated the set up time correctly?
  2. Have you estimated the daily campaign maintenance time?
  3. Have you estimated the campaign management and review time?
  4. Do you know how much PPC training can cost?
  5. Did you account for developer time required to build landing pages?
  6. How much time would your sales and offline marketing team need to dedicate?
  7. Are your PPC managers familiar with marketing techniques?

PPC management involves strategic placement, copy writing, copy testing, split testing, tracking, visitor analysis, segmentation, convergence of online and offline marketing and synchronization of online and offline sales.

  1. Can your campaign management team write good marketing copy?
  2. Is your pay per click team excellent at number crunching?
  3. Will your PPC campaign managers know where to place your listing ideally?
  4. Do your development, marketing and sales team work efficiently together?
  5. Can your pay per click management team speak foreign languages?
One of the most important considerations any company or manager should take into account when deciding whether or not to outsource is what else could the in-house personnel is doing with their time. Ideally, their time should be spent coordinating the various online and offline marketing activities, devising overall marketing strategies, and setting marketing goals, guidelines and initiatives that the agencies can go out and implement for them effectively.
