Google Partners badge guidelines

As a part of Recognition and Rewards, Partners and Premier Partners have access to the Google Partner badge and the Premier Partner badge, respectively. Partners who've earned either badge can add it to their website, other online properties and marketing materials to show that Google recognises their company as having achieved Partner or Premier Partner status. This article contains information on how you can use the badges.

Before you begin

If your company isn't a Partner or Premier Partner, read the article How to become a Partner or Premier Partner to learn more about the requirements.

Guidelines
