Search Engine Marketing | Specializing in Google Ads (Adwords) Advertising For Nonprofits| Digital Media Strategist
Serving the Memphis, Tennessee Metro Area
I am a Google Adwords Grant Specialist focused on helping nonprofit organizations setup, manage, and optimize their Google Ads Grant accounts. As a digital marketing strategist, I have to know the differences between a regular paid Google Ads account and Google Ads Grant account.
I also have to bring other skills to the table such as Search Engine Optimization, optimizing websites, and technologies that makeup a successful digital campaign. As a nonprofit, you now have the $10,000 per month ad spend, but what do you do with it? And how to you maximize effectiveness? How do you remain in compliance with Google Ad Grant terms,conditions, and policies? Do you have the the time and resources to manage the account?
Well, as Google Ads Grant Specialist, I know the answers to those questions. I can leverage the free advertising with Google’s Adwords Grant to build your nonprofit’s marketing strategy. I not only help nonprofits, but all businesses with lead generation, developing funnels, and finding an content strategy.
I also have experience with paid Google Ad accounts in the following industries: nonprofit organizations, mental health, construction {home improvement, roofing ,etc} , and real estate.
Digital marketing has become a PASSION. I have learned Search Engine Optimized (SEO), web design and development (HTML, CSS, PHP). But I also utilize other tools such as: Facebook Ads, Bing Ads, keyword building, WordPress, Magento, Google Analytics, and Google Webmaster Console, and so many more.
Three other areas I also use my skill set are content writing, grant writing, researching, and planning.
