Can anybody recommend a good PPC bid management system?

[A_Q]

Looking to invest in a good PPC bid management system at agency level. Anybody had good experience with any of the tools out there?

It would be great if you can provide an idea of associated pricing.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Did you try Google Adwords?

[A_Q]

Hi Pedro,

Yes, I've used Google AdWords before but I'm looking for something a bit more like kenshoo or searchforce.

Just looking for some advice from people who've used these kind of tools in the past.

Hey Elias! Funny enough we were just saying that we needed to a do post comparing PPC management tools. Some of the ones we've used and liked are Marin, Kenshoo, and Acquisio. A key piece for us was that we could manage FB in there, that growing the kw list was easy, and there were options for automated bid management (on our low traffic campaigns). All three of those have (or are close to having) those three things.

Re: pricing. I know Acquisio can be as low as 1k per month but then pivots up on usage & size of accounts I believe. Marin & Kenshoo are both up closer to 5k-10k I believe. Of course your total spend and how hands on they are with you are key in deciding your price. Sometimes you can negotiate a trial period with those larger players, but you really need to bank on a few thousands either way.

Those three have great teams in place, great reputations and lots of plans for 2012. I'd get a demo with them to start. Best of luck!

Thanks Joanna,

I think I'll request a few Demos to see how they defer!

Would love to see your post about this!
