Managing AdWords campaigns can be a really very time-consuming task… and if you don’t know what you’re doing, you’ll likely be throwing a lot of money at Google with no return on investments. If you can write good advertisement and have time to create and experiment with Adwords campaigns that get high click-through-rates,  then you don’t need an AdWords consultant and might just need to review the campaigns on a daily basis and fine tune here and there with the help of guidance found in forums and adwords groups/help,  to keep things going in the right direction. If you don’t any of the above, then hiring a professional will save you a lot of time and money.

The 3 important aspects which you should deal with AdWords consultant are…

1. Forget about if he is a qualified adwords consultant or not, but ask few questions on how many years he is into this, few clients for reference and what he did for them. How many months he and how he was paid for – on monthly retainer model or pay-for-performance.   You can then decide by negotiating with him for FREE trial and if he is remote you can have a combination of retainer fee and performance model.

2. Make sure he is (they are ) friendly and willing to share. Unless you own a very large company and you want a full time consultant, your goal in hiring a consultant should be of short-term. If your consultant isn’t sharing with you every thing he does to make your campaigns successful, chances are he’s trying to keep you in the dark so you can run back to him every time you need help, and pay him again and again and again. Don’t fall into this trap and make sure your consultant has the same goal as you do, run a successful business on auto-pilot.

3. Ask him/them a set of checklist / pre-requisite for running the adwords campaign. He should come out a questionnaire to evaluate your business, website, your expectation in online marketing, adwords goal, cost & daily budget etc.. which will help you to plan your campaign well in advance.  It will be easy for him to deliver the results by measuring the performance towards the goals you have set with the help of him.  Try to have a daily plan review for 20 -30 minutes to analyze and prioritize the action plan.

Hope this helps.
