The real problem

Your church is invisible to the people already looking for one

Every week, families in your city search "churches near me," "Bible study groups," and "youth programs near me." Google shows them results. If your church isn't one of them, they find one that is.

This isn't a traffic problem. It's not a branding problem. It's a visibility problem — and Google built a program specifically to fix it. They'll give your church $10,000 a month to show up at the top of those searches. For free. Most churches don't know it exists.

Every single week, people in your city type "churches near me" into Google. If your church doesn't show up, they assume there isn't one nearby — and they stay home.

The Google Ad Grant puts your church at the top of those results — for free. $10,000 a month in advertising, paid for by Google, so the right people find you at the exact moment they're looking.

The solution

Free ads at the top of Google. Every single day.

The Google Ad Grant gives qualifying nonprofits $10,000/month in free Google Search advertising. That's $120,000 a year. It renews monthly as long as you stay in compliance.

A mom searching "children's ministry near me." A college student looking for "young adult church group." A family relocating who types "family-friendly churches in [your city]." Every one of them was already looking. The grant makes sure they find you first.

Friends laughing and connecting in community

Imagine this:

Six months from now, you look out at your congregation and see faces you've never seen before — families who found your church on Google, who showed up because your ad appeared at exactly the right moment.

01

Someone searches "churches near me"

Your church appears at the top of Google

02

They click your ad

Google pays for the click — not you

03

They land on your website

Service times, directions, what to expect

04

They show up Sunday

A real person walks through your doors

Proof it works

This is what happens when the grant is managed right

What we do for you

Everything handled. Nothing for you to learn.

You don't need a marketing background. You don't need spare time. You don't need to learn Google's rules. We handle the application, campaigns, compliance, and reporting — so your team can focus on what actually matters.

Modern church gathering with stage and community

Our team optimizes your campaigns weekly

Grant Application & Enrollment

We handle Google for Nonprofits, domain verification, and activation. 90%+ approval rate.

Custom Campaign Strategy

Certified specialists build campaigns targeting the exact searches your community makes.

Ad Copy That Sounds Like You

Warm, inviting ads that reflect your church's voice. Not generic marketing speak.

Compliance Monitoring

Google has strict rules. Miss one and your grant gets suspended. We monitor daily and maintain a 98% compliance rate.

Monthly Reporting

Clicks, visits, search terms, conversions, and what it would have cost if you'd paid for it. Plain English, no jargon.

Ongoing Optimization

We improve campaigns weekly so your grant budget works harder every month.

A word of warning

The #1 reason churches lose their grant

Google doesn't just hand you $10,000 and walk away. There are strict monthly requirements — minimum click-through rates, conversion tracking, proper bidding strategies. Miss one and your grant gets suspended. No warning.

Most churches that try to manage the grant themselves lose it within 6 months. Not because they did anything wrong — because the rules are technical and they changed since the last time anyone checked.

That's exactly why you hire us. We monitor every account daily and maintain a 98% compliance rate. You never think about it.

Compliance Rate

Across every account we manage. Daily monitoring. Weekly optimization. Zero guesswork.

First-time guests every Sunday

"We are consistently seeing first-time guests on Sundays, and when we ask "How did you find us?" the response is almost always, "We found you online." Over the years, we've tried a number of strategies — nothing has been as effective as this."

Questions

Still have questions? Good.

What's the catch?
There isn't one. Google's Ad Grants program has been running since 2003 as part of their nonprofit initiative. The only requirement is following their compliance rules — which is exactly what we handle.
How much is $10,000/month actually worth?
$120,000 a year. Most businesses pay $1-3 per click on Google Ads. Your church gets those clicks free. Our average managed church uses $4,000-8,000/month — thousands of visitors from people actively searching for a church.
How long until we're up and running?
2-4 weeks. Some churches get approved in 10 days. Once approved, first campaigns go live within a week.
We already have the grant but it's not working. Can you help?
This is one of our specialties. Most churches barely use $500 of their $10,000 budget. We audit, rebuild, and typically see dramatic improvement in the first month. Michelle Rux saw 946 more conversions after switching to us.
What if we don't have a website?
You need one for the grant. Our Website + Local SEO + Google Ad Grant bundle ($697/mo) includes everything — a professionally designed website, local search optimization, and full grant management.
How does billing work?
$397/mo with a $2,000 setup fee. Commit to 12 months and the setup fee is waived. White Glove is $1,497/mo, same setup structure. No ad costs ever — Google pays for the ads.

The choice is simple

Every month you wait is $10,000
your church will never get back.

Someone in your city is searching for a church right now. If yours doesn't show up, they'll find one that does — and you'll never know they were looking.

$397/mo to manage $10,000/mo in free ads. 90%+ approval rate. Setup fee waived with 12-month commitment.
