Ad Grants Certified. Google Partner. Gold Product Expert.
We're among the only U.S. agencies recognized by Google as Ad Grants Certified Professionals, Google Partners, and Gold Product Experts — certified to manage your account, and trusted to teach the community how it's done.
uluad proudly holds three top-tier badges awarded by Google — Ad Grants Certified Professional, Google Partner, and Gold Product Expert — recognition that we are one of the few vendors in the United States producing the highest results for the nonprofit clients we manage. These honors aren't applied for; they're earned, and Google grants them only to agencies that consistently deliver.
The Ad Grants Certified Professional badge is the rarest of the three. The grant program has very distinct requirements, far more rigorous than a standard Google Ads paid account, and Google has invested considerable time carefully analyzing accounts managed by vendors worldwide. Out of thousands of agencies, only 45 have demonstrated consistent success — and uluad is one of the few in the United States granted entry into the esteemed Google Ad Grants Certified Professional community.
The results speak for themselves: Google reports that nonprofits who use one of the 46 vendors in the Ad Grants Certified Professional community drive eight times higher conversion rates than accounts managed outside the community.
Membership also keeps us ahead of the curve. We receive exclusive educational opportunities, routine meetings with a dedicated Google representative, early access to new platform features, and ongoing marketing and training materials — insights we put to work for our clients every day.
Our expertise doesn't stop at managing accounts — we help shape the conversation. As Gold-level members of Google's Product Experts program, our team consistently answers questions on the Product Experts blog and community, guiding nonprofits and advertisers through the toughest Google Ads challenges. Gold status isn't given; it's earned through a sustained track record of accurate, helpful contributions recognized by Google itself. When you work with uluad, you're working with the same experts the broader Google Ads community turns to for answers.
Holding these badges means being held to the highest bar. Google selects only agencies with proven, demonstrated success managing Google Ad Grants accounts while upholding the values and goals Google has set forth. Approved agencies must meet and maintain every performance and quality threshold and demonstrate complete command of grant account management.
And the bar never lowers. To keep the Google badge, vendors must show that the accounts they manage consistently advance ad revenue and growth while expanding the nonprofit's customer base. Agencies must also regularly optimize accounts through Google's recommendations, with every account maintaining an optimization score of 80% or higher. uluad doesn't just meet those standards — we've built our reputation on exceeding them.
