What It Means To Hold The Highly Coveted Google Partner Designation

Leverage Digital is proud to have held the esteemed Google Partner designation for over two years. Being a Google Partner is an achievement that only the most elite agencies reach, as the requirements are rigorous and multifaceted.

To be awarded this designation, agencies must pass Google-administered certification exams every 12 months, use industry best practices to manage their campaigns, have AdWords Certified individuals on staff, and manage over $10,000 in ad spend over a 90 day period. The agency must also demonstrate that their clients are happy, their business is healthy, and that they adhere to Google’s high standards.

“It is an honor to receive the Google Partner designation, and further differentiates Leverage Digital as a top tier digital agency in the marketplace. More importantly, this designation provides our clients with peace of mind knowing that they work with an agency which has been endorsed by Google,” said Jay Taylor, Managing Director at Leverage Digital, upon attaining the qualification in February of 2016.

Google uses their coveted certification to ensure that businesses work with vetted agencies that follow best practices in search, display, video, and mobile advertising. Essentially, they do the heavy lifting so you can spot a quality agency at first glance.
