Besides managing your pay-per-click (PPC) marketing, some of these companies can also help with search engine optimization (SEO), website design, and increasingly social media marketing.
Just keep in mind that pricing varies. Expect to pay 15% to 33% of your PPC campaign dollars as monthly management fees. And many of these firms also charge a set-up fee to get your Google campaigns running. So definitely shop around!
Having said that, these folks know what they're doing and you probably don't (sorry). If that's the case… then be ready to pay up to have a professional manage your search engine marketing efforts.
Otherwise, you'll need to learn a lot more about search engine marketing before considering doing it yourself. Here's a good place to start.
