How to Get Mobile Certified by Google
Google added a Mobile Sites Certification to its Partners program in early April 2017, providing developers and marketers an opportunity to show they know the best practices for creating, managing, measuring and optimizing mobile websites. Think you have what it takes? Google will let its Partners (signing up is easy) take a 65-question exam to prove their prowess. Google states that when you pass a certification exam, your certificate, badge, or any other digital mark will be stored for you in a central, verifiable location. In addition, you will be able to take your mark and include it in an email signature and embed it on sites such as LinkedIn and Twitter.
While the exam is "open book/Internet" it's recommended to study in advance (Google provides materials). Developers and marketers should rely on their preparation and expertise to pass the test. The alternative does a disservice to fellow exam takers and the Web ecosystem.
