We are a certified Google Partner.

Yes. DPOM is a certified Google Partner. Our team holds current Google Ads certifications, we manage real advertising spend that meets Google's requirements, and our account performance is measured against Google's standard. We have held Google Partner status for years and have been a digital marketing agency since 2011.

Three things, broadly. First, certification: team members have to pass Google Ads exams and keep re-taking them as the platform evolves. Second, spend: a Partner has to actively manage a minimum amount of advertising spend across its accounts. Third, performance: Google measures how well those accounts are run. You only keep the badge by clearing all three on an ongoing basis, which is why it is meaningful rather than decorative.

We will always be straight with you about this. DPOM is a certified Google Partner. We do not claim to sit in any elite or top-tier band that Google reserves for a small percentage of agencies based on its own thresholds, and we never will, because we would rather be honest than oversell. What we do offer is genuine, current Google Partner certification, 15 years of experience and more than 4,000 UK businesses grown, backed by 4.8 from 395+ reviews.

It means the people managing your ads are certified, vetted and held to a standard by Google, which removes a lot of risk. It is not a magic guarantee, and we will never pretend results are certain, because Google Ads success depends on your market, budget and goals. What the badge does tell you is that your account is in qualified, up-to-date hands. As a general rule, give Google Ads at least three months to show what it can do.

DPOM was formed in 2011, originally offering website design and Google Ads before expanding into SEO and social media. We have been a Google Partner for the vast majority of that time, maintaining certification through every major change Google has made to its advertising platform.
