Spark Internet Marketing – Google AdWords Qualified Company
July 19th, 2008 by hbond{{adam}}At long last, Spark Internet Marketing has been awarded our Google Qualified Company status (insert polite applause here). 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 “Qualified Individual” to “Qualified Company.”
To become a Qualified Company in the Google Advertising Professionals program, a company must:
1. Have a billing and mailing address in a country where company qualification is available.
2. 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.
3. Build and maintain the minimum 90-day required total client spend (spend requirements vary by country) for the company’s My Client Center account.
In Canada, a company must maintain a minimum of $100,000 over a 90-day time period to receive certification.
For good measure, Spark also has its Yahoo Ambassador and MSN Adwords certification in addition to its new Google Qualified Company status.
Spark would like to thank our PPC clients for entrusting their internet marketing to us and helping us meet this goal!
I was always under the impression that this was something easy to get? Your saying that it isn’t?

Getting company status is as simple as having over $100k in managed spend over 3 months (that is for Canada and the US). Past that, just having 2 members registered under your MCC as sucessfully passed the test. Thats it!
