We earn revenue from affiliate links on our site. We strive to keep our site updated, so if you notice any broken links, please tell us.

Are you starting a company and looking to begin running ads for your products or services? Here’s how to get the free coupons advertisers are offering. If you are looking for free SaaS hosting credits, click here for our list.

Google Adwords Credits:

Google Adwords Credits:

  • What: Google will match the amount new users spend up to $150 (U.S. businesses only).
  • Who is eligible: everyone, but must be a new user.
  • How to get it: just go to the regular Google ads coupons page.

Google Adwords Credits for Google My Business

  • What: Google will give you $100 in ad credits if you spend $50 (note, this sometimes varies in amounts and is not consistent)
  • Who is eligible: everyone who verifies a Google My Business page (businesses without an address like blogs are not eligible)
  • How to get it: go to the Google My Business page and proceed through the verification process.

If you have already been spending monthly with Google, there is a temporary Covid related ad credit for qualifying businesses here.

Google Adwords Credits Through Vendors

Some vendors and web hosts offer AdWords credits if you sign up for premium plans. If you were already planning to launch your website or store with those vendors, make sure you take advantage of them.

Revenue Disclosure: We’re upfront people, so we want to be upfront with how we make money. We make money through affiliate links and ads. How do we NOT earn money? We DON’T get paid to add companies to our categories or sell email addresses. That means no one can pay us to put them on the list in any category, move them higher up the list, or change what we say about them. We want small businesses and entrepreneurs to trust us to point them in the right direction, and we’re proud of the fact that this is a guarantee you won’t see on other websites.
