Grant Readiness

Traffic without trust is a wasted opportunity. Driving thousands of new visitors to an outdated website won't generate the momentum you need. Before we turn on your ads, we conduct a Grant Readiness Verification to ensure your digital footprint is equipped to capture and convert your new audience. If we determine your current site cannot support the campaign, we will architect a custom plan to build and optimize dedicated landing pages before your ads go live.

Strategic Ad Management

Eligible organizations receive up to $10,000 USD per month in free Google Search advertising. We help ensure your message not only reaches audiences but resonates with the people who matter most without draining your existing marketing budget.

Continuous Visibility

Maintain a consistent search presence year-round with an “always-on” strategy that keeps your organization visible when audiences are actively searching.

Budget Reallocation

We partner with ambitious, purpose-driven organizations to strategically manage and optimize their Ad Grant campaigns, freeing up your internal teams to focus on your core mandate.

The Sandbox

Operating within the Google Ad Grants ecosystem requires strict technical compliance and ongoing oversight. We manage the complexity so your team can stay focused on the work that matters most.

Search Ads Only
Google Ad Grants are limited to text-based ads on Google Search. Display, Video, Shopping, and Performance Max (PMax) campaigns are not permitted.
The 5% CTR Requirement
Accounts must maintain a minimum 5% Click-Through Rate (CTR) across the account to remain compliant and avoid suspension.
Domain Restrictions
All ads must direct traffic to your organization’s approved primary website domain.
Donation Exception
Google permits links to approved third-party donation platforms (such as CanadaHelps) to support seamless fundraising experiences.
