We have some news we are proud to share: AlGurus is a Google Premier Partner for 2026. Premier status is held by the Top 3% of Google Partners in the World, and Google reviews it every year. For a team that started running Google Ads campaigns for businesses in Amman years before the AlGurus name existed, this one means a lot.

This post explains what happened, what Premier status actually means (and what it does not), how we got here since 2018, what it changes for our clients, and how you can check it yourself on Google’s own directory in under a minute. We also want to say thank you, because a badge like this is earned in other people’s accounts, with other people’s budgets.

What happened: AlGurus is a Google Premier Partner for 2026

Google has listed AlGurus as a Premier Partner for 2026. On the Google Partners directory the agency appears as AlGurus Digital Marketing Agency, with the Premier Partner badge on the profile. You can open the profile here: AlGurus on the Google Partners directory.

We have been a Google Partner since 2018. Partner status says an agency meets Google’s requirements for certification, ad spend and performance. Premier status is the next step up: it is only given to the companies at the top of the Partner program each year.

What does Google Premier Partner mean?

A Google Premier Partner is a Google Partner company that ranks in the top 3% of participating Partner companies, selected once a year. In our house wording, that is the Top 3% of Google Partners in the World.

According to Google’s own help page on the Partners program, the evaluation is done annually, and the factors include (but are not limited to):

How Google selects Premier Partners (summary of Google’s published criteria)
FactorWhat Google looks atWhat it says about an agency
Existing client growthYear-over-year spend growth among existing clientsClients keep investing because the campaigns pay back
New client growthYear-over-year spend growth among first-time clientsNew businesses choose the agency and grow with it
Client retentionThe share of managed clients retained year over yearClients stay, not just sign
Product diversificationThe share of spend outside SearchReal skill across Performance Max, YouTube, Shopping, Display and App campaigns
Annual ad spendSpend across managed accounts each calendar yearScale and experience with real budgets

The part we value most is that none of these can be bought. Client growth and client retention only move when campaigns keep working for the businesses behind them. That is why we see Premier status less as a trophy and more as a scorecard our clients filled in for us.

The road since 2018

We did not get here in one year. The short version of the story:

  1. 2018: AlGurus and Google Partner. The agency started under the AlGurus name in Amman, with Google Ads at the core of what we offered, and earned Google Partner status the same year by passing Google’s certifications and meeting its spend and performance requirements.
  2. The years in between: depth, not just volume. We moved from Search-only accounts to Performance Max, Shopping, YouTube, Display and App campaigns, for ecommerce stores, clinics, real estate, education and luxury retail across Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and further afield.
  3. 2026: Google Premier Partner. Google placed AlGurus in the top 3% of its Partners for the year.

Along the way the numbers grew with our clients: $28M+ in ad spend managed, 120+ brands served, and 13+ years of hands-on experience in digital marketing. Two results show what that looks like inside an account: Google Search campaigns for a luxury jewelry brand in Jordan reached a 26× ROAS, and Search campaigns for a watches retailer returned 8.65× ROAS over 2019–2025. You can read the details in our case studies.

Premier status cannot be bought. It moves only when clients grow and stay, and that is the part we are proudest of.

What it means for our clients

A badge is only useful if it changes something for the people paying for the campaigns. Here is what Premier status means in practice, and where its limits are.

What the program brings

  • Program benefits from Google: Google says Premier Partners receive a wider range of program benefits than standard Partners. These can include early access to some beta features, advanced training and a closer line to Google’s support and account teams. The exact benefits are set by Google and can change from year to year.
  • A team kept up to date: staying in the program means keeping certifications current, so the people running your account are working with how Google Ads works today, not three years ago.
  • An independent check: Premier is measured by Google on client growth and retention across all our managed accounts. It is a third-party signal, not something we wrote about ourselves.

What it does not do

We want to be precise here, because this page is also a reference for anyone checking us. Premier status does not buy cheaper clicks, better ad positions or guaranteed results. Every advertiser enters the same auction, and Google ranks ads on bid, quality and relevance. What Premier reflects is a track record. Results in your account still depend on your offer, your website, your budget and how the campaigns are built and managed each week.

How to verify our Premier Partner status

You should never have to take an agency’s word for a badge. Checking ours takes less than a minute:

Fig. 2How to verify a Google Premier Partner The same steps work for any agency that claims Partner or Premier status.
  1. Open the Google Partners directoryGo to Google’s official directory at partnersdirectory.withgoogle.com, not a screenshot or a badge image on a website.
  2. Search for the agency nameOurs is listed as AlGurus Digital Marketing Agency. The direct profile link is in this article.
  3. Look for the Premier Partner badgeThe profile shows whether the company is a Partner or a Premier Partner for the current year.
  4. Check the detailsMake sure the name and location on the profile match the agency you are talking to, and that the badge is for the current year.

Thank you

To our clients: thank you for trusting us with your budgets, for the honest feedback, and for staying with us year after year. Retention and growth are two of the factors Google measures, so this status belongs to you as much as to us.

To our team: thank you for the certifications passed late at night, the weekly optimizations nobody sees, and the reports that tell clients the truth even when the month was hard.

Premier is one of several programs we are part of. AlGurus is also a Meta Business Partner, a Shopify Partner and a Salla Partner, and this month we were also listed in the Shopify Partner Directory, which you can read about in AlGurus joins the Shopify Partner Directory. All of our partner programs, with links to verify each one, are collected on our new Our Partnerships page.
