Challenge

Common Sense provides teachers and parents with up to date resources to teach children and students how to appropriately use media. Their main challenge is reaching new teachers and parents who could use these resources to teach their children and students how to thrive in a digital age.

Strategy

We created a targeted Google Ad Grant strategy that on targeted specific ad groups based on the demands and inquiries from teachers and parents. We leverage their website data and content, as well as keyword search trends to create dynamic and highly-targeted Search ads that delivered the exact resource a parent or teacher was looking for. This strategy allowed us to be in the right place at the right time with the right message—providing exactly what the parent or teacher needed.

Implementation

Targeted Keywords & Search Ads

Based on new content ideas and keyword research, we created new campaigns to align with Common Sense’s mission of improving the lives of kids and their families by providing the education they need to thrive int eh 21st century. Our Google Ad Grant strategy allowed us to provide that information and education.

In order to create greater ROI and fully leverage their free media from Google, we optimized our ongoing ad strategy by utilizing keyword insertion and ad scheduling. This strategy allowed us to reach more users based on their searches and online user behaviors. We were able to use ad scheduling to match when parents and teachers were online the most.
