Google Partner

Verified by Google. Trusted by Law Firms.

SMB Team is a certified Google Partner — a designation awarded by Google to agencies that meet rigorous standards across three categories: performance, ad spend management, and certifications. Here’s what that means in plain terms, and why it matters for your firm.

What the Google Partner designation actually requires:

To earn and maintain Google Partner status, an agency must maintain a minimum optimization score of 70% or higher across all managed accounts, demonstrate a minimum of $10,000 in managed Google Ads spend over a rolling 90-day period, and ensure that the agency’s team holds current Google Ads certifications. Google reviews these requirements daily — it’s not a one-time award.

To reach Premier Partner status — the top 3% of all participating agencies in the country — an agency must also demonstrate year-over-year client growth, strong client retention, new client acquisition, and meaningful investment across multiple Google Ads products, including Search, Display, Video, and Shopping. Premier status is awarded annually, and only the top 3% of agencies in each country qualify.

What it means for your law firm:

When you work with a Google Partner agency, you’re not working with a team that figured out Google Ads on your dime. You’re working with a team that Google itself has verified understands how to build and manage campaigns that perform.

Practically speaking, Google Partner agencies have access to dedicated Google support, early access to new platform features and beta tools, and Google Ads promotional credits that can be applied to eligible new client accounts. This means SMB Team clients may benefit from ad credits that stretch their marketing budgets further — particularly when launching or scaling campaigns.

More importantly, Google Partner status means accountability. The certification requirements and ongoing performance benchmarks mean we have to keep performing — not just for our clients, but to maintain our standing with Google itself. It aligns our incentives with yours: we grow when your campaigns succeed.

For law firm owners investing in Google PPC, Google Local Services Ads, or any other Google advertising channel, working with a verified Google Partner isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s the difference between working with an agency that’s been tested against a real external standard and one that hasn’t.
