It’s possible that an agency boasts its expertise based on a single person and assigns your project to other members of the agency.

Hence, when you interview an expert or agency person, you must ask about the people who will work on your PPC campaigns.

Once you have the names, you should check their profiles on LinkedIn and see whether they have ample experience to work on your project or not.

3. See If They Worked in Your Vertical Businesses

It would be beneficial for you if your Google Ads expert earlier worked with a business similar to yours. The experienced Google Ads expert in your niche would be more likely to create high-performing ad campaigns quickly.
