Eligibility requires valid charity status, a quality website and policy compliance; accounts must maintain 5% CTR and meaningful conversion tracking. Meeting those rules takes ongoing attention, which is where management helps. **Is my charity eligible for Google Ad Grants?** UK charities registered with the Charity Commission and holding a valid charity number are generally eligible. Some charity types are excluded — gambling, political, government, and healthcare organisations. We conduct a free eligibility check. **Our Ad Grants account was suspended — can you help?** Yes — account reinstatement is one of our most common requests. We conduct an audit, resolve the compliance issues, and manage the reinstatement application. **Why are we only spending 30% of our Ad Grants budget?** Low spend is typically caused by overly restrictive keyword targeting, poor Quality Scores, or limited landing pages. We systematically address each barrier to increase budget utilisation. **What does Ad Grants management cost?** Our Ad Grants management fee starts at £450/month for accounts spending under £2,000/month, scaling to £950/month for full budget utilisation. All fees are subject to our 20% charity discount. **How much of the $10,000 Google Ad Grants budget can my charity realistically use?** It depends on how many relevant searches exist for your cause and how well the account is structured. Low spend usually comes from restrictive keywords, low ad quality or too few relevant landing pages, and each can be fixed. We show your current utilisation and what is holding it back before quoting. The $10,000/month cap equates to roughly £8,000/month in free Google Search advertising. **What is the 5% CTR requirement for Google Ad Grants?** Google requires Ad Grants accounts to maintain a minimum 5% click-through rate every calendar month — or the account risks automatic suspension. This requirement drives active ad copy testing, keyword quality management, and landing page alignment. It is the most common reason for Ad Grants account suspension and one that specialist management reliably prevents through proactive monitoring and optimisation. ## Interested in Google Ad Grants?
