Well, Upperdog has only gone and done it again!

It feels like only yesterday we were celebrating becoming a Google Premier Partner. Now here we are, one year later, celebrating the very same achievement.

And who said lightning couldn’t strike twice?

Upperdog: Google Premier Partners 2026

If anything, the achievement feels even better this time around. It’s one thing to be placed in the top 3% of digital marketing agencies in the UK, but to do it consistently year on year is another achievement altogether.

We won’t go into the ins and outs (check out last year’s announcement for all the details on what becoming a Google Premier Partner means), but needless to say, we’re hugely proud.

More than anything, it’s a testament to the incredible efforts of our team. To be recognised as a Google Premier Partner, a digital agency has to:

  • Consistently deliver strong client performance across Google Ad campaigns
  • Demonstrate growth in managed ad spend year on year
  • Maintain a high number of Google Ads accreditations and certifications
  • Meet Google’s best practice standards across optimisation, account structure, and strategy
  • Deliver measurable results that align with our client objectives

In other words, it’s not something we stumbled into. Each one of our PPC specialists has been working their socks off, giving their all to ensure we continue supporting our clients as best we can – so, this one is down to them.

A huge thank you

What we’re getting at – in a long, convoluted way – is that we want to say thank you.

Thank you firstly to the Upperdog team for working so hard these last couple of years. It proves that last year wasn’t a one-off, but the result of consistent performance from a special team who genuinely care about delivering the best.

And secondly, thank you to our clients. We appreciate the trust you place in Upperdog, and we’re excited to keep pushing forward to make 2026 even stronger.

On that, if you don’t work with us already but are wondering what a Google Premier Partner agency can offer, we’d love to chat. Feel free to email us at hello@upperdog.co.uk or give us a call on 01202 798820.

P.S. We also got a new kettle today. As if 2026 couldn’t get any better!
