No Assets Needed from Your Church

Understanding Fluctuations in Google Ad Spend

It’s normal to see fluctuations in Google Ad Grant spend, especially as Google rolls out new ad types and AI-driven updates. Performance Max Ads are still being refined, and as Google’s algorithm adapts, some accounts may experience temporary drops in spend. This doesn’t mean your ads aren’t working—it simply means the system is adjusting. Our team monitors these changes weekly and continues optimizing your campaigns to ensure your church gets the most out of the grant over time. If you notice a dip, rest assured that this is part of the process, and we’re actively working to maximize your reach.
