How can I tell if a professional is really Qualified and not just yanking my chain?
We take many measures to protect our users from conducting business with unethical individuals and companies. The best way to verify their qualification is by looking for the Adwords Qualified individual or Company logo on their Professional Status page. This page includes Google's validation that the individual or company has received Qualified status within the Google Advertising Professionals program.
You can find the Professional Status page by clicking on the AdWords Qualified individual or Company logo that is visible from the individual's or company's website. If you don't find it there, simply ask your professional for the link to the page. Once you find the page, it's important to check for the following things so you can ensure that the page and professioal are authentic.
How to Determine if
an Online Marketing Company is Legitimate
One of the simplest ways of determining if a
company is legitimate is to look up their domain on any whois site. A good
whois can be found at www.networksolutions.com/whois. This will show you if
the company is willing to show you who they are. In the example below this
company’s domain (we’ve marked out the name with X’s) does
not show any valid information. DomainsbyProxy.com is hiding the actual
owners. You should not trust anyone that is doing this!
