Free Google Advertising Credits
Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai announced that it has set aside $800 in ads and loans to help government organizations and small businesses respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Google like any business has been affected by COVID-19. Its ad business has taken a major hit as many small businesses have stopped advertising their services. Giving away hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising credits will help get some of these businesses back to Google’s advertising dashboard. Small to mid-size companies are the backbone of the economy, representing up to 90% of businesses according to the World Bank. The coronavirus pandemic has caused dramatic shifts in consumer buying, and the Google ad credit is being used to help businesses continue to engage with their customers.
