IL Muslim Civic Coalition
The Illinois Muslim Civic Coalition is a statewide partnership of activists, organizations, and change-makers dedicated to educating, collaborating, and amplifying the civic voice of Illinois Muslims to advance equity and justice . Rooted in robust initiatives like the landmark Illinois Muslims “Needs, Assets, and Opportunities” report and voter engagement, the Coalition drives policy and public understanding through data-backed advocacy, leadership development, and community organizing. Their work has led to legislative wins—such as Illinois’s Faith‑By‑Plate Act—and ongoing efforts to build civic leadership pipelines and integrate Muslim perspectives into decision‑making arenas.
The Challenge
The Illinois Muslim Civic Coalition was determined to broaden their outreach and establish connections with new donors and volunteers throughout Illinois. However, their Google Ads account was underperforming and lacked optimization, which hindered their ability to enhance digital visibility during pivotal moments of community action and fundraising.
The Solution
The Coalition discovered TopOut Group through a referral and decided to explore their Google Ads Setup & Optimization service. After evaluating several options, they chose TopOut Group due to their proven track record in maximizing online visibility for nonprofits. TopOut Group immediately began by restructuring their Google Ads account, focusing on targeted keywords, and enhancing ad copy to resonate with the Coalition’s mission. This strategic approach not only optimized their ad performance but also aligned their online presence with their civic goals.
The Results
The impact was swift and significant. Within the initial 60 days, the Coalition saw a dramatic 112% improvement in click-through rates. The average cost per click decreased by 38%, making their ad spend more efficient. Moreover, landing page conversions surged by 65%, leading to a steady influx of donor and volunteer inquiries. These results were particularly pronounced during civic events and awareness campaigns, amplifying their community engagement efforts.
