Google Certified Publishing Partner and GCPP Premier

Google Certified Publishing Partner

The Google Certified Publishing Partner Program was developed to distinguish companies that are verified by Google and are experts when it comes to Google products. Here are some of the requirements for candidates:

• A proof of how the company has helped the publisher succeed (using dedicated services and technologies, but also with thoughtful advice);
• The applicant finished a half-a-year onboarding trial and has been taken care of by the Channel Partner Manager for at least 1 year;
• The company fulfilled the minimum performance requirements for a Channel Partner and all regional requirements;
• The future GCPP must pass the final evaluation to obtain a badge.

To see whether the company you want to cooperate with belongs to the GCPP – just enter their name in the search engine available on the Google website dedicated to the GCPP program. After finding a company, you can read a description of their business, view contact details, view the website, see awards and certificates, or even see what services the company offers. Significantly, most companies that can boast of the GCPP badge place the program logo on their website, but to be 100% sure, it’s worth visiting the Google website.
