About the clinic

Google Grant Ads are one of the most valuable digital marketing channels available to non-profits: when used properly, they deliver highly engaged visitors, and generate leads and donations, with the cost of the advertising completely covered by Google.

Many charities struggle to make the most of their Google Grant, and so are missing out on an extremely valuable channel. Google Grant Ads can be resourced by most charities with the right training and support: once the key concepts are understood, it takes just a couple of hours work per month to keep a Google Grant account performing.

This workshop will cover the key concepts needed to manage Google Grant Ads in a time efficient way, will include practical work to get each attendee’s Google Grant Ads account in shape, will focus on getting a return on investment, and will provide a clear roadmap and support for keeping the account compliant and delivering a return well into the future. This workshop will also include aftercare – each attendee will get an hour of aftercare from Jean O’Brien, who will review their account and make recommendations.

Outcomes

  • Attendees will learn a time-efficient technique for managing their Google Grant Ads account
  • Attendees will learn how to keep their Ads account compliant with Google’s rules for Grant accounts, and will receive support materials for their compliance checks
  • They will also learn how to optimise accounts for performance and get a strong return on investment
  • During the masterclass, attendees will develop a keyword plan and a campaign plan for their organisation and publish campaigns to their account
  • Attendees will receive templates and documentation for support with their ongoing work with Google Ads
  • One hour per attendee of aftercare support will be provided
