A certified Google Adwords Specialist will help ensure that your PPC (Pay Per Click) campaign is accurate and effective. A well-developed and researched Adwords campaign may not only increase traffic, but also increase conversions and lead to a higher ROI (Return on Investment). There are several factors to consider when trying to determine which specialist or marketing firm to work with.
Google AdWords Certification
The process of becoming certified by Google AdWords is thorough. The process covers every aspect of PPC management with a special focus on keyword analysis. Because PPC campaigns are dependent on effective keywords, qualified individuals must have a working knowledge of how to find not only unique and relevant keywords, but how to implement their usage.

Those interested in obtaining their certification have access to the Google AdWords knowledge base. Once they determine they are ready, they take the Google Authorized Test. This test is constantly changed to reflect the current marketing culture, new tools and methodologies. This ensures that Google AdWords specialists are always up to date with the latest in PPC marketing trends. Your choice of company must have a current certification.
*As of April 2010, "Google Adwords Company" title has been replaced with "Adwords Certified Partners" program.
Choosing A Specialist
Like any business decision, determining who to hire to implement and manage your Google AdWords campaign should involve research and careful thought. During the selection process, be sure to consider the following areas:
• Certification: Ask to view their certificate and ensure that it is current by checking on Google site.
• Recommendations: Request letters of recommendation and follow up on them.
• Proof Positive: Ask for web addresses for sites the specialist has worked on. Review the site performance, landing pages and ensure the specialist did perform the work.
• Contracts: Review contracts completely and question any guarantees. In the world of PPC and SEO, guaranteeing results is almost impossible, so it is a good idea to shy away from companies who offer them. There are just too many variables involved to offer guarantees.
Why Google Adwords
For the purposes of PPC campaigns, Google AdWords is clearly the best option. They offer several advantages over other PPC programs.
• Immediate Visibility: PPC advertisements through Google AdWords offers the ability to immediately increase visibility
• Complete Accountability: Clear and easy to understand, Google AdWords is user-friendly and intuitive
• Flexible budgeting: Clients have the ability to customize their PPC plan for any price point
• Stellar Analytical support: Performance can only be monitored through analytical data and Google AdWords provides it all the necessary analytical tools.
• Most Effective Network: We are all aware that Google has over 65% of the market share in USA in search.
The process of developing, researching, implementing and managing a Google Adwords campaign is intuitive, but it can also be time consuming.
