What is a Google Premier Partner?
When you need help managing your online advertising, you should work with a company that has been trained and certified by Google. Google Partners are advertising agencies, digital marketing professionals, and other online consultants who have the knowledge to manage Ad accounts.
Google Premier Partners are the top partners with demonstrated ads skill and expertise, who have met ads spend requirements, delivered agency and client revenue growth, and sustained and grown their client base. They are the leading companies recognized by Google that manage higher spending and meet additional certification and performance requirements beyond the basic Google Partner level.
Google Premier Partners have met Google performance requirements by delivering solid overall ads revenue and growth while maintaining and growing your customer base. Premier level status means the company meets a higher spend requirement across managed accounts, showing the company has a healthy amount of activity. Also, they must also employ at least two Certified Google Ads specialists to show they have advanced ads knowledge.
With a multitude of digital marketing agencies in the marketplace, Google distinguishes the best performing agencies through its highly respected partner program, with only the elite qualifying for the Google Premier Partner accolade.
A Google Partner is a digital advertising provider that meets various Google Ads requirements. These include such criteria as agency skill level, client ad spend, the size of the agency’s client base as well as agency and client growth levels.
Depending on their level of expertise and success, they can gain one of two badges – Google Partner or Google Premier Partner.
The Premier status indicates the top-performing agencies. The accreditation can be gained for different online advertising services such as Search Ads, Mobile Ads, and Shopping Ads. Clear Mind Graphics, Inc., is a Google Premier Partner qualified in Display, Shopping, and Search.
