Google Ads Set Up

Project details

What we need
  • Set up of Google Ads
  • Training for staff on how to monitor performance and update Google Ads going forward
  • Optional: Set up integration between Google Ads and Google Analytics
Additional details

We had adwords set up by a consultant, but it needs to be updated and maintained and we do not have the expertise to do this. We are particularly interested in someone who will work with our staff to make the changes needed so that we understand them going forward.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a google adwords grant and our adwords are up and running, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a staff member responsible for future maintenance, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,486 , allowing us to continue to run a small amount of paid advertising that we have budgeted from grants

We are an online news site that relies on traffic from google and other channels to drive readers to our site and see our product. This supports our core mission of telling the stories of Pittsburgh.
