DPOM is a Google Partner. That badge is not marketing fluff. It is earned proof that we run a vetted, certified team Google itself trusts with its advertisers' money. It means up-to-date qualifications, real spend under management and performance that keeps meeting Google's bar, year after year.
Tell us about your business and what you want more of. We will come back fast, with no jargon and no hard sell.
Plenty of agencies wave a badge around without explaining it. Here is the honest version. Google Partner status is something you have to keep earning, and it is awarded against rules Google sets, not promises an agency makes about itself.
Our specialists sit and pass Google's certification exams, then re-sit them as the platform changes. The qualifications expire on purpose, so a Google Partner team has to stay current rather than coast on what it learned years ago.
Google sets a minimum amount of advertising spend a Partner has to actively manage, and measures the performance of those accounts. You only keep the badge by running real campaigns well, not by passing a test once and forgetting it.
Google Ads changes constantly. Partner status means we are expected to keep up with new features, bidding tools and best practice, and to apply them properly. The badge is a signal that the team behind your account has not stood still.
It is worth being clear about why this matters to you. When you hand your advertising budget to an agency, you are trusting strangers with money that is meant to bring you customers. The Google Partner badge is one of the few independent signals you have that those strangers know what they are doing. Google does not hand it out to anyone who asks. It is a status the company controls, measures and can take away, which is exactly what makes it worth something.
You will sometimes see agencies treat the badge as a logo to slap in a footer and forget about. We see it differently. Holding Google Partner status is a discipline. It forces our team to keep learning, keep passing exams and keep running accounts to a measurable standard, because the moment we stop doing those things properly, the badge is at risk. That pressure is a good thing for you, because it keeps the people on your account sharp rather than complacent.
It is also worth saying what the badge is not. It is not a promise that every campaign will succeed, and it is not a substitute for honest, hands-on management. We will never hide behind a logo. What being a Google Partner gives you is a strong starting point: a team that is genuinely qualified, genuinely current and genuinely accountable to Google's standard, before we have even started on your account.
In plain English: the badge is earned proof, not a sticker you buy. It tells you the people managing your Google Ads are vetted, certified and held to a standard by Google, and that they have to keep clearing that bar to hold on to it.
A Google Partner badge tells you Google trusts us. Our reviews tell you our clients do too. We hold a 4.8 out of 5 rating from more than 390 independently verified reviews on Feefo and Trustpilot.
Based on 390+ verified reviews from real DPOM clients.
Independently verified by Feefo, who only collect reviews from genuine customers.
Rated Excellent on Trustpilot, where anyone can leave honest, public feedback.
"DPOM have managed our Google Ads for the past two years. Reports are clear, responses are prompt, and performance has been consistently strong. A reliable agency that does what they say they will."
"They take the time to understand what our business actually needs rather than just selling us a package. Responsive, clear communication, no jargon."
"Camilla was great at explaining, in layman's terms, everything about setting up and managing the campaign. I trust her to keep things running smoothly, which she does."
We do not hand-pick the kind reviews and bury the rest. Feefo and Trustpilot are both independent: Feefo only collects feedback from genuine, verified customers, and on Trustpilot anyone can leave a public review, good or bad. The 4.8 figure is the honest average across all of them. We are proud of it, and we are just as keen for you to read the occasional critical review as the glowing ones, because that is what makes the rating trustworthy in the first place.
Certification is the start. Results are the point. Here are a few real campaigns from real DPOM clients. These are a snapshot, not the full book. We have grown more than 4,000 UK businesses since 2011.
Online retailer scaling through Google Shopping and Search campaigns.
Fast-growing tech business needing joined-up Google Ads, SEO and social.
Law firm using Google Ads to drive a steady pipeline of qualified enquiries.
Well-known adventure brand growing bookings through paid search.
Specialist piling contractor driving enquiries through Google Ads.
Skincare and aesthetics brand scaling conversions through paid search.
These results span very different businesses, from a national e-commerce retailer to a law firm to a well-known adventure brand, which is the point. There is no single trick behind them. Each came from a Google Partner team taking the time to understand the business, build the right campaigns and keep refining them. Every campaign is different, and we will always set realistic expectations rather than promise you a specific number, but these examples show what good, certified Google Ads management can do when it is given time to work.
The badge gets you a certified team. Working with DPOM gets you a certified team that is straight with you, explains things in plain English and does not lock you into anything.
DPOM was formed in 2010. We have managed Google Ads through every major change Google has made, and we are still here, still certified, still learning.
We have grown more than 4,000 UK businesses since 2011, from sole traders to established brands. We know what works for small and medium-sized companies.
Vetted, certified and held to Google's standard. Your account is managed by qualified people, not handed to whoever is free that week.
We build our own software, including Sentinel for click fraud protection and Nebula for heatmaps and session recordings, so your campaigns get an edge most agencies cannot offer.
No jargon, no smoke and mirrors. We tell you what we are doing, why we are doing it and what it is actually achieving, in language you can follow.
The majority of our work is month to month. If you ever want to leave, all we ask is 31 days' notice. We earn your business by doing good work, not by tying you down.
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 2010.
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 a 4.8 out of 5 rating from over 390 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 2010, 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.
