“Jumpstart” into Pay-per-Click Advertising
If you’re interested in doing pay-per-click (PPC) advertising you may be interested in Google’s AdWords Jumpstart Service
There’s no charge for the service and a Google staff member will help you setup your first AdWords campaign. They do require that you commit at least $299 to PPC spending on AdWords.
A review on WorkHappy notes that:
Overall, [jumpstart is] not a bad way to start AdWords if you’re going to do it on your own—so long as your expectations are that this is only to help you do the initial setup. It helps with about the first 15% of what you’ll need to do if you want to be successful…. It’s not designed for people who wish to have someone else set up and managed it for them. It’s for people who are willing and able to figure it all out and manage the nitty-gritty themselves, but need a little hand holding to get started.
If you do want somebody to take care of all of it, we can help. We have a new Search Engine Marketing Service that includes both pay-per-click advertising across all the major search engines as well as Internet Yellow Page premier listings. Contact Us for more information.

Interesting stuff.
So how in-depth do the Googlers get with you when you opt for a “jumpstart”? Do they set up your account, pick keywords, write ads, etc.?

According to the review at WorkHappy, they do do all of what you listed.
The kicker though is that you’ll probably still need to add more keywords, tweak your bids, test variations on your ads, etc.
Not to mention do that on the other search engines, too.
But as a start for folks who are unfamiliar with PPC, and interested in getting their hands dirty, it seems like it could be a good thing.
