About the Google Premier Partnership

To earn Premier status, companies must first consistently meet the Google Partner requirements in three key areas:

• Certification – Having a minimum of 50% of their account strategists certified in Google Ads, with at least one certification in product areas with campaign spend of $500 USD or more in 90 days.
• Ad Spend – Maintaining a 90-day ad spend of $10,000 across managed accounts.
• Performance – Maintaining a minimum optimization score of 70% which demonstrates the ability to effectively set up and optimally run Google Ads campaigns to achieve the greatest results for clients.

In addition, the factors that determine the companies recognized as the top 3% and thus earning Premier status include existing and new client growth, client retention, product diversification, and annual ads spend.
