Google Grants Account Creation Guide - Manual (Page 5)

Four helpful hints before getting started:
In some ways receiving a Google Grant is like receiving a vehicle – it is a lot
more useful if you learn how to operate and maintain it. To make the most of your
Google Grants account, begin with these four points:
1. Make time. Set aside the necessary time to create (4 – 12 hours) and
monitor (1-2 hours a month) your account. Itʼll help if others in your
organization understand the work you are doing and the time you will
need.
2. Become familiar with AdWords. Learn how the AdWords auction-based
advertising system works by completing the exercises in this guide and
visiting our Help Center at:
http://www.google.com/support/grants/?hl=en_AU
3. Build a strong foundation. Follow the Google Grants policies and
guidelines (found on our website) and the best practices outlined in this
guide when creating your account. Be sure to consult the account
submission checklist for a final review.
4. Take advantage of the available support resources. Google Grants is
a self-managed program, meaning the control of your account is in your
hands. While we are unable to provide phone or email support, this guide
and the tools below will provide you with the information youʼll need to
manage your account.

Tip: A quick and easy way to find answers to your questions is to use – you
guessed it – Google. If you find yourself stumped, try a specific search on Google
such as “Google Grants duration of grant” or “Google AdWords how do I log in”.
The search results will often lead you right to the answer you need within the
Google Grants Help Center.
