Project update interval varies depending upon the vertical market, urgency of the project in relation to the client’s business, and the phase of work that campaigns are in.

In your project proposal, we will provide a Gantt chart schedule for the project including start date, milestone, and planned duration of key tasks. Typically projects are started immediately when taken on. There are some exceptions, for example eCommerce projects tend to exert strong demand in the fourth quarter tying up key resources.

When we first launch PPC campaigns, sometimes we will put them in “manual bidding mode” which is the simplest and most straightforward form of adjusting PPC campaign bids. Once the initial bids are set, the PPC bid management is not “taken care of”; it’s a process. After setting the initial bids, data will start to accumulate showing us whether the
