Qualified & Certified with HubSpot.
Exam-taking isn't necessarily essential to our work, yet we commit willingly. We're functioning in an industry that lacks regulation, so the distinction between dabbling and delivering tangible results becomes crucial. Our field is brimming with those who dabble, but we opt for rigorous exams, including Google's, for myriad reasons.
Annually, we complete around 20 tests primarily related to digital marketing to ensure we stay current and attuned to an industry that's constantly changing and spans multiple sectors. A seemingly minor mistake on our part could significantly impact our clients' performance.
Here are some reasons we persist with exams and courses:
A decade or more of experience is insignificant if you ceased learning long ago.
Only some in our industry truly back up their claims with significant investment.
Dan & Fay consistently aim to affirm their standing at the forefront of the field.
We refrain from using our clients as mere experimental subjects for our gain.
Here are some of the exams we've completed:
Sales Enablement HubSpot Exam
Inbound Sales Hubspot Exam
Inbound Certificate Certified
Inbound Certificate HubSpot Exam
Email Marketing HubSpot Exam
Content Marketing HubSpot Exam
While we don't necessarily gain a substantial amount of new knowledge from these exams, we find value in the refresher they provide. If we were to learn significantly, it would imply we need to be more knowledgeable, raising ethical questions about selling our services. Therefore, we make sure to avoid such risks. Have you considered using HubSpot as a marketing CRM? We've found it to be a valuable tool for businesses when used appropriately, and we can certainly assist you in leveraging it.
We are also qualified, partnered & certified with Google
In addition to this, we are certified, partnered, and qualified by Google itself. This recognition isn't achieved by merely paying an entry or subscription fee. It's more than just acing a few exams - you need to demonstrate your abilities and present a proven, Google-verified track record. Any marketing firm, be it a large company or a solo operation, can attempt to earn a Google Partner badge without any fees. It's about learning your craft, delivering client results, and taking exams. This has been our approach for the past four years.
Thus, our credentials extend beyond positive Google reviews and endorsements from banks, charities, and business owners. We're among a small group of companies in Suffolk that proactively seek to stay updated and regularly tested. We take great pride in this fact.
If anything, we enjoy doing exams to re-educate ourselves, we don't really learn a massive amount, but if we did, we would close SEOMERS because it would be wrong to sell something if you don't know most of the answers, right?
We won't take those risks at all! We have passed these exams. HubSpot is the best. If you haven't already, consider using it as a marketing CRM; if used correctly, it can help your business. We can help you make the most of it.
We are not awarded by paying an entry or subscription fee. It is more than just passing a few exams; you have to PROVE what you can do and have a proven track record that Google verifies. Any marketing company, large or 'one man band' that runs or manages an AdWords or a marketing campaign can attempt to qualify to earn a Google Partner badge, free of charge, with no strings or entry fees.
You learn your trade and have a good track record of "getting your clients results, then taking exams". We have done this for the last four years! So there you have it; we don't just have excellent Google reviews and references from banks, charities and business owners. We are also one of the few companies in Suffolk that openly go out of their way to stay educated and tested frequently. We are proud of this fact.
