Google Ad Grants · Campaign Kit

Campaign 1: Donate

Everything needed to build the first Ad Grants campaign, ready to paste. Click any line to copy it, or use Copy all. The numbers on the right are character counts; every line is already within Google's limits. Wording comes from the website so ads and landing page match.

Use this only after Ad Grants is approved, inside the account Google creates for you. Never enter a credit card. If Google Ads asks for payment, stop.

Negative Keywords

These stop ads from showing for searches that would waste clicks and lower the click-through rate. "music school" also keeps ads away from the for-profit Alpharetta lessons, which Ad Grants can't promote. Add at campaign level: Keywords → Negative keywords.

Negative keywords

Build Order

  1. Create the campaign with the settings above.
  2. Create Ad Group 1, paste its keywords, then build Ad 1 and Ad 2 as Responsive Search Ads, pasting one headline per box.
  3. Create Ad Group 2 the same way.
  4. Add the 4 sitelinks, the callouts and the negative keywords.
  5. Publish. In the first weeks, check the click-through rate stays above 5% and pause any keyword Google rates 1–2 for quality.
