Strategic Sourcing Guide to Paid Search Procurement

Overview

Advertising market around the world is undergoing rapid transitions that have a massive potential to influence the way companies strategize for Paid Search procurement and the cost they have to incur. Rising cost of workforce possessing core skill sets is expected to offset some of the cost savings that suppliers are expecting through implementation of lean and technology-based operations.

An intense competition in the supply market owing to new entrants is expected to provide more procurement options to buyers for Paid Search and offer significant negotiation leverage.

Paid Search Procurement Best Practices

Sometimes, procurement functions are unable to timely alter their practices while responding to market conditions. Industry experts acknowledge that periodically reviewing procurement best practices and adopting learnings from across procurement categories can help procurement teams respond to market needs in a more agile way. This report combines our experience of other categories with Paid Search procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, It is customary for service provider to charge buyers on a project basis. The project costs are often based on payroll costs incurred by service providers on the various levels of personnel involved in the project. In a bid to derive higher profits, service providers may allocate more senior staff than required. Therefore, buyers must scrutinize the staffing needs of the project and limit the presence of senior staff to not more than 30% of the total allocated staff. This, in turn, providers buyers' advantages such as enhanced cost savings, streamlined execution, and faster delivery time.

Buyers should engage with service providers that provide services through an hourly based pricing model. Within an hourly based pricing model, buyers would have a fair idea of the exact time required for the work done by service provider. Consequently, billing rates will be implemented accordingly.

Buyers must ensure that service providers cater to their requirements by implementing centralization of content to maintain the project objective.

Risks in Paid Search procurement

Paid Search procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Paid Search procurement. Some examples include:


  • Procurement without consulting the actual users of Paid Search may result in a mismatch in expectations of the buyer's internal stakeholders versus the actual contract executed
  • With advancements in technology, such as file compressing, digital copying, and internet connections with high bandwidth, the risk of content piracy and signal theft has also increased. Additionally, new software that can circumvent encryption technology is increasing the threat of unauthorized use and distribution of communication content
  • When requirements of the buyers are not absolutely clear or usage patterns are not stable or predictable, suppliers often build in \"cost buffers\" for unforeseen risks due to a lack of complete understanding on buyer's requirements. This increases the risk of overspending on Paid Search
