We're Proud to Announce: We're Officially a Google Partner!

We're thrilled to share that we've recently achieved certification as a Google Partner, recognizing our expertise across various areas of online marketing. Meeting Google's rigorous standards, this designation underscores our agency's commitment to delivering exceptional results and positions us as a trusted business partner for both Google and our clients.


What Is Google Partners?

Google Partners is a program created by Google for advertising agencies, digital marketers, and online consultants. It provides members with access to exclusive events, training sessions, industry research, product updates, and free certification exams and study materials. It's designed to help agencies like ours stay at the forefront of digital marketing strategies and tools.


What Are the Requirements to Become a Google Partner?

To achieve this prestigious status, agencies must meet the following qualifications:

  1. Certification
    Agencies must demonstrate proficiency in Google Ads by obtaining certification. This involves passing the Google Ads Fundamentals Exam and at least one additional specialization exam, such as Search, Display, Mobile, Video, or Shopping Advertising.

    Since e-commerce is our specialty, we chose to certify in Shopping Advertising, enabling us to deliver tailored advertising solutions for online retailers.

  2. Ad Spend
    A key requirement is demonstrating consistent account management. Google requires:

    • A minimum of $10,000 in ad spend over the past 90 days.
    • Activity in at least 60 out of those 90 days.
    • A Google Ads Manager account that's at least 90 days old (ours has been active for several years!).
      This ensures that agencies are actively managing campaigns and maintaining sufficient experience across multiple client accounts.
  3. Best Practices
    Google reviews account performance to ensure clients receive optimal service. This includes evaluating:
    • How frequently changes are made to improve campaign performance.
    • Client retention rates.
    • Whether the agency is maximizing client budgets effectively.
      By adhering to these best practices, we ensure that our clients achieve outstanding results while optimizing their advertising spend.
