For business owners and marketing executives alike, strategizing, managing, and reporting ROI for digital marketing or Google Ads campaigns can be overwhelming. You may find yourself asking questions like: “What keywords should I be targeting? What makes compelling ad copy? What do all of these metrics mean for my business, and which ones will help me make decisions?” Even beyond the reporting, finding the time to learn paid search platforms like Google Ads and all their intricacies is no simple task.
There’s no doubt that Google Ads is an extremely effective tool for maximizing exposure and generating leads or sales online. However, it’s a complicated piece of software, and it can take years to master. As a business owner, you can only be hands on with so many things at once. It’s very common for businesses to either hire someone internally to manage this process, or to outsource it to a firm like RCP Marketing to handle it on their behalf. However, when it comes to hiring an outside resource, you can’t just hire any Tom, Dick, or Harry. Whomever you hire, that person or agency must be a certified Google Partner.
How to Know If An Agency Is A Google Partner?
According to Google, “Look for the badge.” The Google Partner badge shows that a particular agency or organization has passed the necessary Google Ads certification exams, and are up to date with the latest product knowledge. There are also performance benchmarks put in place on the accounts that the agency manages in order for them to retain that Partner badge, along with any specializations in the different areas of Google Ads: Search, Mobile, Video, Display, and Shopping Advertising.
The badge looks like the one below. If you hover over the three dots on the badge, it will reveal the specializations that the particular firm maintains. This particular one is from our website. If you scroll down to the footer, you’ll see it there.
