Benefits of Being a Certified Partner with Google 

It is no secret that Northeast Kingdom Online has earned the Google Partner badge. Having this badge is very beneficial for advertising agencies, digital marketing professionals, and other online consultants who manage AdWords accounts.

Being a Google Partner means that we deliver quality service to our customers, offer a competitive advantage to our clients, and have received the proper training to help grow businesses online. Here are three benefits of being a Google Certified Partner:

Connect with Google: Companies who have earned their Google Partner status may have access to additional events, training sessions, and more.

Keep up with PPC Best Practices: To maintain Google Partner status, agency team members must take and pass two certification exams. One of the mandatory exams includes AdWords Fundamentals. For the second exam, you are then able to pick based on what your advertising goals are, these options include Search, Display, Shopping, Video, and Mobile Advertising. As a Google Partner, we are also able to attend free training sessions to keep up with the latest PPC practices

Stay in front of Competition with Beta Features: Companies that have earned a Google Partner badge have access to Google’s beta features, which means that after Google has developed a new feature or application, Google partners can test and use out these features before it is available to the general public.

There are several benefits included in being a Google certified Partner. For more information about how to become a Google Partner and more benefits of being partners with Google, check out: https://support.google.com/partners/answer/3125774?hl=en
