Since launching our company under a year and a half ago, it has been a goal of ours to manage enough Google AdWords spend and clients to elevate our standing with Google from &#8220;Qualified Individual&#8221; to &#8220;Qualified Company.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To become a Qualified Company in the Google Advertising Professionals program, a company must:<\/p>\n<p>1. Have a billing and mailing address in a country where company qualification is available.<br \/>\n2. Employ at least two Qualified Individuals in the program. Individuals must be qualified under the main company-registered My Client Center account and not their own account. See the requirements for becoming a Qualified Individual.<br \/>\n3. Build and maintain the minimum 90-day required total client spend (spend requirements vary by country) for the company&#8217;s My Client Center account.<\/p>\n<p>In Canada, a company must maintain a minimum of $100,000 over a 90-day time period to receive certification.<\/p>\n<p>For good measure, Spark also has its Yahoo Ambassador and MSN Adwords certification in addition to its new Google Qualified Company status.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sparkinternetmarketing.com\/images\/common\/GAQC.jpg\" alt=\"Google Qualified Company\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sparkinternetmarketing.com\/images\/common\/MSNAE.jpg\" alt=\"MSN Certification\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sparkinternetmarketing.com\/images\/common\/YSMA.jpg\" alt=\"Yahoo Ambassador\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Spark would like to thank our PPC clients for entrusting their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sparkinternetmarketing.com\">internet marketing<\/a> to us and helping us meet this goal!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At long last, Spark Internet Marketing has been awarded our Google Qualified Company status (insert polite applause here).
