The Google Ad Grant · since 2003
Google will give your church $10,000 a month in free advertising. Most never claim it.
You get $10,000 a month in Google ads that put your church in front of people searching for one. I handle everything else — the application, setup, compliance, and monthly management (for a flat $500 a month).
— Steinar, Founder
How long does it take?
3–5 weeks for many churches, 6–8 months for others, depending on your 501(c)(3) status. Submit your website and I’ll email you which path you’re on.
What’s your church’s website?
No cost. No obligation.
Where should I send it?
Success!
You should have your answer in about 1 business day.
