Connect with a Google Premier Partner

Premier Partner expertise. Connected thinking.

Our close partnership with Google gives our team access to ongoing training, platform insights, new innovations, and beta opportunities. We combine that insider knowledge with independent thinking – testing what’s new against what works, and focusing on what delivers the best commercial outcomes for our clients.

Connected helped us flip the switch - from high sales and low margins to profitable, sustainable growth. Their focus on real business outcomes, not just media metrics, made all the difference.

Why choose a Google Premier Partner

Top 3%

Premier Partner status is reserved for the top 3% of participating Google Partners in Australia, recognising the country’s highest-performing Google Ads partners.

Proven at scale

Premier Partner status recognises proven performance and experience, with Google assessing agencies on client growth and retention, breadth of product expertise and the scale of advertising investment they manage.

#1 highest tier

Premier Partner is the highest of Google’s three partnership tiers (Member, Partner and Premier Partner) - giving clients the benefit of an agency with closer access to Google expertise, support and emerging product opportunities.

Why partner with us?

Google Premier Partner status reflects the scale, expertise and performance of our team. We look beyond platform metrics, using signals like profitability, margins, lead quality and stock availability to guide decisions. And we consider search as part of the wider marketing mix, so the goal is never simply better Google Ads performance – it’s stronger commercial growth.
