RankingCo rises into Australia’s top 3% of Google Partners as a 2026 Premier Partner

BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA — RankingCo today announced it has been named a 2026 Google Premier Partner, ranking among the top 3% of Google Partners in Australia. This achievement underscores RankingCo’s position as a leader in digital marketing innovation, driving measurable results for clients in an increasingly AI-driven advertising landscape.

Premier Partner status is awarded annually to agencies that demonstrate strong client growth, retention, product diversification, and certified expertise within Google’s advertising ecosystem.

As Google Ads continues to evolve, success now depends on advanced strategy, privacy-first measurement, and intelligent automation. The platform’s evolution toward AI-driven systems such as Performance Max has lowered entry barriers while increasing the complexity required to generate profitable outcomes. Businesses that rely on Google Ads for revenue require disciplined oversight, structured data inputs, and expert governance to translate automation into measurable growth.

The 2026 designation comes at a pivotal time as Google accelerates automation, machine learning bidding, and privacy-first measurement frameworks across its advertising ecosystem.

RankingCo’s Premier Partner designation reinforces its position as a trusted growth partner for Australian businesses navigating the next phase of Google Ads. It reflects the agency’s success in delivering results at scale, managing complex campaigns, fostering strong client relationships, and leveraging new Google tools to optimise performance.

“In an era of automated advertising, our Premier Partner standing is the differentiator that allows us to master Google’s search AI rather than just follow it,” said Kerry Anderson, Co-Founder of RankingCo. “Success comes from feeding the machine the right data in this 'AI-first' era. Our Premier status gives us early access to new tools and insights, so we can stay ahead of changes, optimise every placement, and keep our clients’ campaigns performing while others play catch-up.”

RankingCo receives early access to new Google features, measurement solutions, and beta AI capabilities. This enables structured testing, faster optimisation cycles, and implementation ahead of general market availability.

Prioritised Direct Support Channel

Premier Partner status provides direct access to specialised Google support resources. This accelerates troubleshooting, clarifies policy updates, and reduces disruption to revenue-critical campaigns.

Mandatory Expert Certification

RankingCo’s account strategists maintain up-to-date Google Ads certifications, including expertise in Performance Max and Google Analytics 4. This ensures campaigns align with current platform standards and evolving best practices.

Turning Google Ads into a 2026 Growth Engine

Strategic Google Ads management in 2026 requires predictive modelling, first-party data integration, and clear revenue attribution. RankingCo structures campaigns around measurable revenue outcomes rather than surface metrics.

Strategic Reporting and Transparency

Expanding Visibility Across Search and Conversational AI

In 2026, RankingCo helps brands show up where it matters: on Google, YouTube, Display, and emerging AI-powered chat platforms. As the digital landscape evolves, the agency brings all the pieces together so campaigns are optimised for real business outcomes, not just clicks or impressions.

Through chatgptadvertising.com.au, RankingCo advances Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO).
