Client: National Healthcare & Health-Research Charities
The Challenge: Navigate highly complex Google Ad Grant policies regarding sensitive health-related content, while seamlessly integrating paid search and cross-platform architecture to drive high-volume festive donations.
1. Active Google Ad Grant Management & Compliance
The Scenario: Health and medical research charities face incredibly strict policy barriers regarding how health content is presented on search platforms. Managing these accounts requires a fine balance between maximising search visibility and ensuring absolute regulatory compliance.
- The Strategy: We provide expert, active Google Ad Grant management tailored specifically to complex health content. By building tightly themed keyword groups, optimizing quality scores, and maintaining strict compliance with evolving Ad Grant terms, we ensure consistent ad delivery.
- The Results: Established and fully optimized high-performing search programmes for Leukaemia UK, Air Ambulance Charity, and Bowel Research UK. This deep, active fluency in policy navigation allows us to build bulletproof Grant setups that avoid account suspension while capturing valuable search volume.
2. Cross-Platform Integration & Performance Max Scale
The Scenario: An international children’s charity required a unified cross-platform strategy combining the high intent of Google Search with the visual scale of Meta Ads to smash their annual Christmas fundraising targets.
- The Strategy: We engineered an integrated cross-platform architecture, deploying Google Performance Max campaigns to run in parallel with targeted Meta creative variations. This allowed us to dynamically capture prospective donors across multiple touchpoints during the high-stakes holiday period.
- The Results: The strategic rollout proved highly successful. Performance Max unlocked massive scale and delivered the highest overall donation volume of the entire campaign, establishing a highly efficient and repeatable multi-channel model.
3. Post-Holiday Efficiency & Budget Optimisation
The Scenario: Most seasonal charity campaigns experience a severe drop-off in efficiency once the Christmas holidays conclude, resulting in soaring acquisition costs if left unmanaged.
- The Strategy: Rather than completely scaling back ad spend post-Christmas, we actively monitored shifting search trends to identify a distinct pocket of post-holiday media efficiency. We dynamically realigned bid strategies to capture this remaining intent at a heavily reduced market cost.
- The Results: While Performance Max maintained a holiday average of £50.37 CPA during peak competition, our targeted post-holiday optimization strategy successfully capitalized on falling media costs, driving the acquisition cost down to under £30 CPA in the post-holiday window.
