What Is a Google Premier Partner?

The Google Partners programme is for agencies that manage Google Ads on behalf of other businesses. It has three tiers: Member, Partner and Premier Partner.

To be a Partner, an agency must keep its managed accounts at an optimisation score of at least 70%, manage at least $10,000 of ad spend every 90 days, and have at least half of its account strategists certified in Google Ads. Google checks these every day.

Premier Partners meet all of that and are also ranked in the top 3% of participating companies in their country. Google works out the ranking once a year, so the status has to be earned again every year.

How Google Picks the Top 3%

Google ranks partners each year on measures that reward agencies whose clients grow and stay. Google lists these among them:

Existing Client Growth

How much the agency's current clients grow on Google Ads, year on year.

New Client Growth

How well the agency helps businesses that are new to Google Ads get started and grow.

Client Retention

The share of clients who are still with the agency a year later.

Product Breadth

Results beyond Search: Shopping, YouTube, Display and app campaigns.

Annual Ad Spend

The total ad spend the agency manages across its clients' accounts.

Why It Matters When You Choose an Agency

Anyone can pass Google's certification exams. Premier status depends on clients growing, staying with us and doing well across Google's products, measured by Google from real accounts, year after year.

At least half of the people managing accounts must hold Google Ads certifications, with certifications in each product area where we manage significant spend. Google's product training and annual industry report keep the team current.

We have to keep our managed accounts at an optimisation score of at least 70%, Google's own measure of how well an account is set up to perform.

As a Premier Partner we can apply Google's promotional credit to eligible new accounts: from £380 up to £3,000 in the UK, depending on your spend in the first 60 days. Amounts are set by Google and subject to its terms.

Partners get Google Ads support and Google's customised account recommendations. Premier Partners can also be invited to dedicated account support from Google.

What It Looks Like for Our Clients

Google Premier Partner Questions

No. Google Ads prices are set in the ad auction, and partners do not get cheaper clicks. The difference is the team managing your account and how well they run it.

Yes. Google re-ranks partners every year, and the Partner requirements underneath are checked every day, so an agency has to keep earning it.
