Certifications
You want to know your marketing is in good hands before you hand over a single dollar. Certifications are one of the clearest ways to prove it. Anyone can call themselves a digital marketing consultant, but a real certification means passing Google’s or Microsoft’s actual exams and keeping that knowledge current. I’m Christopher Berry, founder of Join Me Here Inc., and I hold active certifications across the full Google Ads ecosystem plus Microsoft Search. Here’s exactly what I’m certified in and what it means for your business.
Certified Across Google & Microsoft Ads
As your digital marketing consultant, I hold active certifications across the full Google Ads ecosystem plus Microsoft Search. That means your campaigns are managed by someone who stays current as these platforms change, not someone running outdated playbooks. Here is a full list of my active certifications and what each one means for your business.
AI Certifications
Google Certifications
Microsoft Certifications
Why Certifications Matter
Anyone can claim to know Google Ads. A certification proves it. Google and Microsoft require passing exams that test real platform knowledge, and both companies update those exams as the platforms change. I keep my certifications active because the alternative is falling behind while your competitors catch up.
These certifications also reflect the breadth of what I manage for clients. I do not just run search ads. I cover the full picture, from shopping feeds to video campaigns to AI powered automation, so your strategy is not missing pieces a less experienced consultant might overlook.
With 30 years of experience and certifications across every major Google Ads format plus Microsoft Search, you get a consultant who understands the entire paid search and AI ecosystem, not just one corner of it.
What This Means For You
You get a consultant who:
- Stays current with platform changes instead of relying on outdated tactics
- Manages campaigns across SEO, PPC, shopping, video, and AI powered automation
- Understands both Google Ads and Microsoft Search, so you are not missing traffic on Bing
- Brings 30 years of hands on experience to back up every certification
- Gives you direct access, not a junior account manager learning on your budget
Certifications vs. No Certifications
Plenty of agencies and freelancers manage ad accounts without ever passing a Google or Microsoft exam. Here is why that gap matters.

| Microsoft Search Coverage | Usually ignored | Certified and actively managed |
| Who Manages Your Account | Junior staff or account manager | Christopher Berry, directly |
| Accountability | Hard to verify | Certifications are public and verifiable |
