Managing Google Ad Grants for Organizing

Does your 501(c)3 manage a Google Adwords Grant? (i.e. $10K/month in free google ads available to 501c(3)s)
This is mostly a technical training. However, we share examples of how Google ads are being used in organizing and to pressure targets.

In 2018, Google announced new guidelines that will affect most non-profits. Failure to meet them could lead to suspension.

In this course you’ll learn what you need to know to stay in compliance and make the most out of your Google ads, including:

• A new five percent click rate requirement for your ads across your entire account (up from one percent previously).
• Maintaining a quality score of 3 or higher for keywords.
• Required use of geo-targeting.
• Avoiding branded keywords you don’t own.
• And more.

Google also lifted its $2 bid cap on keywords when using the maximize conversions bid type. We’ll explain what this means and how you can take advantage of this new opportunity.

Keep your Google Grant active and take it to the next level by registering for this session now.
