Summary of Google Management Services

Where Google Management refers to the administration of an AdWords account, Google management essentially involves targeting keywords that, when searched, are most likely to result in a sale of the products offered by the client. Keyword “targeting” involves four specific things. First is researching keywords whose market saturation (bidding competition) is low but that are also likely to result in sales, as well as setting an appropriate bid structure for those keywords. Next we build ad campaigns around measurable variables like keywords, followed by finally making bid amount and geographic targeting and making sure the client’s ads are seen by the appropriate consumers.

Oftentimes, though less often, Google Management can refer to the administration of Google’s other marketing tools. These include shopping feeds, local search listings, Google checkout and Google coupons.

Cost of Google Management Services

Typically, Google management firms charge a one-time setup fee; these fees vary with the size of the account, starting in the $1500 to $2000 range for most small to medium sized accounts.
