MORE FROM YOUR AD GRANT
Free, professional-grade campaign management that puts your Google Ad Grant to work, with tracking set up so you can see what each campaign returns.
WHO DOES THE WORK
Current Kepler U students, working in teams. Each team is led by a Kepler staff member serving as Project Lead, who guides it from strategy to launch, and every student has a Kepler mentor.
WHAT IT BUILDS
Your message in front of more of the right people. Campaigns extend your reach, grow your audience and bring new supporters to your site.
PLANNED · FROM COHORT 12, MARCH 2027
A ten-week program with three tracks. Project teams will mix them, as in an agency, so your campaign will draw on all three:
Paid Search & SEO: keyword and intent research, Google Ads campaigns built on your Ad Grant, and guidance on how your site shows up in search and in AI answer engines.
Paid Social: a paid social campaign with creative and audiences built around your goals, tested and optimized after launch.
Strategy: a marketing strategy built from your own data, audience research, a media plan, and a final results presentation with recommendations.
Kepler U works with U.S.-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations who are eligible for the Google Ads grant. Please see here for the Google Ads grant eligibility requirements. Some organizations not eligible for the Google Ads grant include:
Governmental entities or organizations
Hospitals or health care organizations
Schools, academic institutions, or universities
Additionally, Kepler U has the right to turn down any organization. We thank you for your understanding in this matter.
