Google Ads Set Up

Project details

What we need
  • Set up of Google Ads
  • Training for staff on how to monitor performance and update Google Ads going forward
  • Optional: Set up integration between Google Ads and Google Analytics
Additional details

We have applied to Google AdWords; however, we have never set up the ads. As we have a small geographic footprint-76 square miles this seems like it would be a really impactful way for us to get the word out. However, we need help setting them up.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a communications plan and calendar, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have lots of engaging content, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,486 , allowing us to instead invest in important program work.

The Mystic River Watershed Association needs to get the word out about our great work! We have a small geographic location--76 square miles--so Google Ads could have a great impact on our outreach efforts.

Michelle was great to work with and had a clear vision for campaigns in her mind. By working together I was able to get the Mystic River Watershed Association access to their Google Ad Grant which they are now using to grow their cause. I would highly recommend working with this organization!
