Looking for an ad words pro to work with us. We currently use adwords but are in need of professional assistance to take our business to the next level. We are based in the U.S.

Hi, seems that adwords professional cetificate leads to another company. How much do you spend to get a certificate? Quite a lot i think…

Kaushal May 5, 2009 at 10:26 am

Yes, I work for company called SEORank. It doesn’t cost much. You have to maintain the account of US $1000 or your equivalent local currency for 3 months, and US $50 for taking the exam.

I don’t think its a huge investment.

Hi Kaushal,

Congrats for the certification…..
I would like to know if i want to certify my company, do i need to first qualify 2 individuals under my client centre for the company and then qualify the company.I am actually confused with the documentation provided by google.

Can you please help.

Hi Archana,
Yes, to qualify your company you need two qualified individuals under your MCC (My Client Center). Also there is a monetary requirement that you need to manage account of so and so amount for 90 days, and then you qualify for Google Certified Company.

Here is the link to Google which can show the exact requirements:

@raj
US $1000 spending is per month, so in total you will be spending $3000 in 90 days. Sample paper for adwords is not possible to see, but if you go through their learning center properly, you won’t have any problem in the exam. Here is the link to their learning center:

@Aniket Parihar
First of all its good to see new guys like you are interested in this field. Here are the answers to your questions:
1. You don’t have to work for any company to be Google certified, but you should be spending US $1000 each month for three(3) months to be eligible for this. Here is the link from Google for more information on this:
http://adwords.google.com/support/select/professionals/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=12241
2. You will have to spend Us $1000 / month on advertising on Google. This money are not refundable. The exam fees is $50, after matching the requirements. The link mentioned above would be helpful to you.
