let’s talk about what's important

Solutions to your problems.

Full Management
Sit back and relax while we take care of everything for your account, including creating ads, writing ad copy, conducting keyword research, and more.
Keyword Research
Our team will suggest a list of recommended keywords after reviewing your keyword wish list, analyzing your website, and reviewing competitor websites.
Ad Copy Approval
The ad copy will be based off your landing page. You’ll have the option to review the ad copy before it goes live, or you can provide your own ad copy.
Lead Gen Campaigns
Lead generation should be a core focus in your strategy. We implement custom landing pages and CRO techniques to improve lead gen campaigns.
Full account Audit
We’ll look at your 3, 6, and 12 month data. We’ll pinpoint the issues, explore potential solutions, and and identify the successes we should prioritize.
Reorganize account
Messy accounts can be hard to navigate, have overlapping keywords, and ads pointing to old landing pages. We’re here to help reorganize everything.
conversion tracking
With the right conversion tracking in place, we can assign each conversion to specific keywords, ad copy, landing pages, channels, and more.
Weekly Meetings
During the first 4-8 weeks, you can opt for weekly meetings to track progress and gain a better understanding of the Power Page strategy.
Real-Time Dashboard
Real-time dashboards that are tailored to your unique needs and include metrics that will have the most significant impact on your growth. 
Microsoft Grant
We manage the $1,000/mo Microsoft Ads for Social Impact grant. If you don’t currently have this grant, we’ll help you with the application process.
Apply for the grant
We’ll help your nonprofit get approved for a Google Grant. Even better, we’ll do this 100% pro bono for you. No strings attached, we promise.
Reinstate Account
If you've been suspended, lost access, or your account has been idle, we'll help you regain access. This is part of our pro bono service to all nonprofits.
the first 30-days

The beginning of a beautiful friendship.

1

You teach us about your work.

First, we’ll schedule a meeting to learn more about your work, how you’d like to use the Google grant, what conversions you’ll like to track, and what sets you apart from other nonprofits in your market. 👍
2

You’ll get an in-depth look.

To begin, we’ll secure the Google Grant (if needed) or audit your Google Grant. 🤩 Then, we’ll use your keyword wish list, assess your website, and take a look at similar charities 👀 and their ads to create a list of recommended keywords for your account.

I would highly recommend Blue Tusk Digital. I worked closely with the Blue Tusk team to develop and launch a high touch training program for some of our Ad Grants recipients. Their expertise and support were critical to the program's success, and their great insights helped improve account performance.

You’ll get proper tracking.

To track the conversions that are important to you, we’ll utilize GA4 and GTM. No GA4 or GTM? Leave it to us, we’ll handle everything for you. 👍
4

You’ll get new ads and Power Pages.

We take everything we learned to create new ads, site links, and more and implement our Power Page strategy that aligns with your goals: increasing traffic, lead generation, or both. 🙌  Pro Tip: Lead gen should be a focus at all times.

We knew we had some challenges, such as a lack of technical know-how and tools to ascertain which digital tactics were performing best. Various team members had tried so many things without ending previous tests, our efforts were effectively cannibalizing each other. Enter the team at Blue Tusk Digital, who began a thorough analysis of all our platforms. They quickly identified several key changes to make immediately and others to follow later. Within a month, we were seeing marked improvements, and over the past year, they’ve tested various strategies and proven where our strengths lie and where they don’t. Today, our digital strategy is more streamlined, easier to manage, and more impactful than it has been in years.

CRO and custom landing pages.

If your goal is to turn clicks into emails, you can trust us to deliver high-quality traffic that converts well. We achieve this by combining your strategy with conversion rate optimization (CRO) and custom landing pages we design in Unbounce (you can also choose to create the pages yourself). We’ll use CRO tools like Hotjar and UserTesting, which will allow us to conduct A/B tests regularly, along with other strategies. Below are a few other CRO strategies you can expect, along with a few landing pages we've designed. Custom landing pages are only available in our Prestige plan.

A blue icon representing a question mark.

How many AdGroups do you create in the first month?

It all depends on the type of client and how many power pages are created initially. With that being said, more isn’t always better. There is a delicate balance between being strategic and creating to create. 👍
A blue icon representing a question mark.

Do you place limits on campaigns, AdGroups, or ads?

We’ll build as many Campaigns, AdGroups, and ads as you need to suit your unique needs. We refuse to place limits, unlike other agencies. 👌
A blue icon representing a question mark.

How often will you optimize my account?

We’ll maximize your account’s potential by tuning-up your account as often as needed. 🤗
A blue icon representing a question mark.

Where are landing pages designed?

Unbounce! The platform allows us to install Hot Jar, dynamic text replacement, pop-ups, and much more. You can also choose to design the landing pages yourself (we’ll provide free consultation). Choosing to create the pages yourself, allows you to stay at a lower plan, but introduce lead gen to your campaigns. 🔥
A blue icon representing a question mark.

Do you need access to our website to design the landing pages?

Nope! We’ll host your landing page through Unbounce, so your page URL might look like "ads.yournonprofit.org". Going this way ensures we can make changes to the page without accidentally damaging your website. 😉
A blue icon representing a question mark.

Will you install Google Tag Manager (GTM) and Google Analytics 4 (GA4)?

Yes, we’ll do this for you! Even better, there’s no extra fee. 😎
A blue icon representing a question mark.

Are you Google Grant certified?

We most certainly are Google certified. We were among the first ten agencies to receive certification from Google. It’s safe to say that we are Google Grant connoisseurs. 🤓
A blue icon representing a question mark.

What if we don’t have a Google Grant?

Not a problem. We’ll have your nonprofit approved as part of our standard service–take advantage of our 100% success rate. 😁
A blue icon representing a question mark.

Do you write the ad and landing page copy?

Of course we do! We write completely original ads and landing page copy. Also (if you choose), you can have all your ads approved before they’re published. ✍️
A blue icon representing a question mark.

Will you help me reactivate my account?

Absolutely. We’re here to help you reactivate your Grant as a part of the Google Grant management plan you choose–100% free of charge. 😲
A blue icon representing a question mark.

Will you keep me compliant every month?

There are dozens of compliance regulations, and it can be a challenge to maintain your status. As a certified agency, you can count on our expertise to ensure you stay compliant and receive your $10K every month. 💯
