Has your company achieved an advanced level of proficiency with Google Analytics? If so, you should consider applying to become a Google Analytics Authorized Consultant (GAAC). As a member of our exclusive, global professional network you'll get:

• The "Google Analytics Authorized Consultant" logo and designation
• Possible client referrals from Google sales teams
• Elevated technical support for Google Analytics
• Listing on the Google Analytics Partner page
• Invitation to attend annual GAAC summit at Google offices
• Access to exclusive GAAC web forum to share ideas and technical tips with Google and other GAACs

If you're interested, please email gaac-requests@google.com a detailed application document explaining how you meet all of the following criteria:

• 3 verifiable, paid, expertly deployed GA projects with 3 different clients we can contact for reference. At least one of these engagements should involve configuration of funnels and filters
• You offer a range of paid services related to Google Analytics, including implementation, configuration, training, and consulting. Please list your current Google Analytics services and the approximate prices charged
• You must represent a business (individuals do not qualify) and be legally incorporated to do business in your locality
• Proven expertise in web analytics. Please list any speaking engagements at conferences, influential blogs, white papers, management bios, ad campaigns, marketing programs, and/or other evidence demonstrating your expertise with analytics and your ability to evangelize web analytics
• Website content linked from your home page that prominently describes your Google Analytics services (please provide a link)
• You agree to send at least one employee to the Google Analytics Authorized Consultant summit, at your own expense (generally held once per year over 4 days in Mountain View, CA, USA, covering technical, marketing and business topics as deemed appropriate by the GAAC team)
• You will provide a report to Google by the last day of each calendar quarter summarizing all Google Analytics projects you have worked on during the quarter (listing client names and results achieved)
• Have Professional Indemnity/Liability insurance as appropriate for your jurisdiction ($1m in the USA)

Google will review your application, and notify you of next steps. You may not refer to yourself as a GAAC and may not use the GAAC logo until Google has approved your application via email and you have agreed online to the Google Analytics Authorized Consultant Program Terms.

Either Google or you may terminate your GAAC status at any time and for any reason. Factors that may cause Google to do so include:

• Failure to meet any of the criteria above
• Poor feedback on your work from clients
• Fewer than 6 Google Analytics engagements per year
• Failure to maintain an up-to-date listing in the Google Solutions Marketplace
• Failure to respond to email or phone communication from Google
