Outsourcing Adwords

[echo1]

I want to outsource my Adwords campaign and I have a few questions. I have been playing with it for a few days-weeks but didn't have enough time to fully engage.

Where would I start?
What questions should I ask?
Are there any general goals before setting specific ones?
How would I know their price is right?
How to measure what they do?

Thanks!

I have gathered already hundreds of keywords relevant to my business, I will give Wordstream a try.

It's also a good idea to know a rough starting area for keywords you want to rank up on (normally relevant to your business )

I would define your goals and budgets.  You need to ask them if they are members of the Google engage program.  This is kind of a square zero level of competence(almost anybody can get in if they know enough to join)

I would discuss how they are going to measure success as well as what activities they are going to do to manage the key words.

You should pay around $100 per hour for a qualified person.
