Google Ads credit – What it is and what to do with it
So, you’re probably here because you got something in either your physical or virtual mailbox notifying you that Google is giving you money to advertise on Google. This probably piqued your interest since you ended up here. So, let’s get started.
What exactly is Google Ads?
Well, Google Ads is the platform one can use to advertise on Google. There are many types of ads from text ads, product ads, Google Maps ads, display ads, and a lot more. You can promote your online presence, re-engage customers, and sell your products or services all within the Google Ads platform.
What is a Google Ads credit?
Basically, it’s free advertising money. Google is incentivizing you to give them a shot as an advertising platform. The offers vary slightly but usually they’re offering to match any money you spend on their platform dollar-for-dollar up until a certain amount.
Can I use a Google Ads credit if I’m already a Google Ads customer?
More than likely, yes. I always recommend trying to use the credit and see if Google gives you an error message. You can add the credit to your account by logging into your Google Ads account and following the steps below (pictured):
- In the top navigation menu click on “Tools & Settings”.
- In the sub-menu that appears go to the last column “Billing” and click on “Billing Summary”.
- Once you reach the Billing & Payment screen, go to the left side navigation menu and click on “Promotional Codes”.
- On the Promotional Codes screen look for a “Add a promotional code” box and enter your Google Ads credit promotional code.
- Click Apply.
- Track the progress of your promotional code and other details including expiration date.
