How we can help you…

As a Google Certified Digital Marketing Agency, we’re perfectly poised to help you. We’re working with several non-profits and charities, all of which have a website and digital marketing channels like Social media, typically Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, often Instagram.

Very often these websites are informative but even when they are well made, they could be improved in terms of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation), online marketing and automation. This is usually where the costs explode. Hiring an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) team, developers, running events or managing volunteers, integrate with CRM, reporting data, and advertising, adds up to costs to amounts that are hard to allocate.

One of the typical ways to deal with these essential tools is to plan different development phases. The problem? Search Engine Marketing such as Adwords is generally the last step.

Not with Google Grant for Non-profits.

What are Google Grants for Non-profits?

UK registered charities and nonprofits can apply to get a $10,000 Adwords grant to spend every month, plus free tools and Premium Features for Youtube.

More than the headline excitement, The Google Grants program has many advantages:

• It drives traffic to your organisation’s website. A lot.
• More traffic means more donations. You can now build your organisation faster than ever.
• By spreading the word, you have much more chance to get the interest of volunteers and sponsors.
• With the appropriate tools (like Google Analytics) you can track the best keywords for your charity and build a better website and online presence.

It’s worth knowing that the Google Grant doesn’t allow you to do exactly what you want in your Adwords account, there are some limitations.

• Your can only use text-based on Adwords (no videos or images).
• They’ll appear only on Google search results pages.
