    You have to manage an account spending $1000 for a 90 day period from an MCC to qualify

    What is the benefit of being certified with Google Adword? What kind of certifications a man should have working with some internet marketing firm since one year.

    Many potential clients will insist on it before they even consider giving you their business to manage their adwords account. And so they should.

    What answer are you looking for?
    The necessary procedure to apply is to manage an account spending $1000 for a 90 day period from an MCC.
    The reason for doing it because clients will insist on it.

    No, you have to be managing an account that spends that. If you're a professional SEO, you could offer to manage a clients account for no fee for the period. That is quite a common route for professionals who want to become certified.

    You are required to:
    - Manage a spend of at least $1000 over a period of 90 days via your MCC account
    - Pass the Google Adwords Exam (which you have to pay for)

    In return:
    - You are provided a web page to verify you status as a certified Google Adwords Professional
    - You are given advertising credits/coupons
    - You are able to display the Google Adwords Professional logo on your website, business cards, etc.

    Your certificate will last for 2 years, after this time you will have to complete the exam again.

    I personally believe that it is extremely important to be certified to present yourself as a quality and reputable PPC expert.

    Gosh, I wonder if anyone in this thread has already said that many potential clients will insist on it before they even consider giving you their business to manage their adwords account? Oh , yes, I can see it 3 times. Amazing what turns up in a thread when you actually read it.

    Official responses:
    What's a Qualified Company?

    What are the requirements for becoming a Qualified Company?

    Company Qualification eligibility and spend requirements by country


    And for those of you somehow still don't understand why they should be Google Qualified: What's the value of becoming qualified in the program?


    Hope this helps :)

    When you simply talk about Google ad words it means you place money and get back your money . Its not the organic way its paid Search engine marketing , suppose you have one keyword this is technology and you want to use this on your website but due to competition you cannot compete with it, so you can purchase this keyword that is the concept of adwords.
    As far as certification is concern it will help you in taking projects of SEO for optimization of website.

    Adwords certification is not for SEO. Adwords certification is for PPC. They are different. SEO is optimizing your website whereas PPC is advertising your website. If you want to work in SEO then being Adwords certified is irrelevant, if you want to work in PPC then being Adwords certified is relevant.
