Google Ad Grant Management

Google Ad Grant management for cultural attractions.

Eligible nonprofits can receive up to $10,000 per month in Google Search advertising.

With active management, that investment can support ticket sales, memberships, camps, weddings, events, and other institutional priorities.

BUILT FOR CULTURAL ATTRACTIONS

Your institution changes throughout the year.

From new exhibits and seasonal events to camps and membership campaigns, your marketing priorities change throughout the year.

We actively manage your Google Ad Grant to keep search campaigns aligned with what your institution needs to promote now.

Performance

Be there when people are looking.

People search Google for things to do, family activities, wedding venues, summer camps, and other experiences. Your Google Ad Grant puts your institution in front of those searches and directs people to the relevant experience you offer.

ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT

Support more than ticket sales.

A Google Ad Grant can promote far more than general admission. Use it to support memberships, education programs, donations, volunteer opportunities, facility rentals, and special events without competing for your paid advertising budget.

Our Google Ad Grant guide goes deeper on what cultural attractions can promote and how the program works.

Control

Keep current priorities visible in search.

Align ads with seasonal programming, direct visitors to the right landing pages, and prevent outdated organic results from owning the moment.

Scope of work

Turn your Grant into a dependable marketing channel.

Over three months, we rebuild and actively manage your Google Ad Grant around your institution’s priorities, with the goal of putting more of the available $10,000 monthly budget to work.

01

Build the foundation

Structure campaigns around the admissions, programs, events, and other priorities your institution needs to promote throughout the year.

02

Connect to real outcomes

Connect the Grant to your ticketing system, analytics, and conversion tracking to measure ticket sales, revenue, and other meaningful actions whenever possible.

03

Increase grant utilization

Actively manage search terms, campaigns, bids, and budgets to increase use of the available $10,000 monthly Grant.

04

Review performance together

Each month, spend 30 minutes with Attend reviewing the account, what’s working, what isn’t, and what we’re learning from search. These conversations often surface opportunities and questions that extend beyond the Google Ad Grant into your broader marketing.

05

Keep what we build

After three months, continue working with Attend or manage the Grant internally. Your institution keeps the account, campaign structure, performance history, and documentation.
