How to Get Google Ads Certified (What They Don't Tell You)

Curious about getting Google Ads certified? Let me break down what it really takes.

First, you'll need a Google Skillshop account - that's completely free. Then dive into three core courses: Google Ads fundamentals, Search certification, and Display certification.

Each course takes about 2-3 hours to complete, and yes, there are tests. You'll need to score 80% or higher to pass, but don't stress - you can retake them if needed.

Here's what most people don't tell you: The certification is just the beginning. Real expertise comes from actually running campaigns and testing strategies.

I recommend starting with the Search certification - it's the foundation of Google Ads success. Plus, it's the most practical for most businesses.
