The World's First Search Engine Marketing Agency
It’s a shame that Google Ad Grants — Google’s program that gives free Adwords advertising to nonprofits across the globe — get so little attention. A Google Ad Grant isn’t difficult to get, and the $10,000 per month in free Adwords clicks each grant bestows can rocket a nonprofit agency to new levels of visibility and fundraising in short order. We don’t know of a faster way to take your nonprofit from zero to hero faster than a Google Ad Grant.
If you’re lucky enough to get one, your account needs an expert Adwords manager in order to get the full benefit of the $10,000 monthly award. There are severe rules and restrictions on Google Grants accounts, and if you don’t follow them, you lose your grant. It’s not a job for an intern or a volunteer or a temp or a rookie, that’s for sure.
That's right. Google has quintupled the minimum CTR for an Ad Grants account, from 1% to 5%. Two months in a row of sub-5% CTR, and your Ad Grant is suspended.
With the exception of a few dozen somewhat random exceptions, you may no longer bid on single-word keywords.
While bidding on competitor brand names -- known in the industry as "conquesting" -- is a long allowed and even encouraged practice for paying advertisers, Google has now banned the practice for Ad Grants recipients.
We know that all charities are doing good work; that said, everyone has their favorites, and ours are anti-suicide and anti-bullying charities. We're happy to put our vast skills and experience to good use by offering free, full-service Ad Grants management ($400/month value) to all anti-suicide and anti-bullying organizations.
We can help. We have long experience managing the Adwords campaigns of Google Ad Grants recipients, and we’ll ensure you get the full $10,000 worth of advertising for your nonprofit every month. And yes, we really did write the world’s only guidebook to maximizing and optimizing a Google Ad Grants account. It’s called The Google Ad Grants Playbook, and it’s available on Amazon for $10.
Our management fee pays for itself many times over in the increased fundraising, sales and awareness your organization receives as a result of our diligent, effective spending of Google’s $10k every month.
