Our partners in international markets will receive a new official status. Having a qualified status shows that Yandex considers an agency to be an important player in the market and its own business partner. Therefore, alongside general achievements with Yandex.Direct, we expect our partners to be ready for honest and transparent collaboration.

Qualified status is assigned to agencies on a quarterly basis. Depending on their quarterly results, an agency can receive a status, confirm its existing status or lose it.

Successful certification offers several advantages:

• The agency can collaborate with Yandex in the development of new technology. We are interested in working with professionals from our markets. Agencies from the list are among the first to find out about new tools, get invitations to our conferences and can even participate in testing and development of new features for advertisers.
  By confirming your status, you can be sure that your business with Yandex is developing, while also getting external confirmation of the quality of your specialists’ work.
• Yandex recommendations help attract advertisers. Along with the status, you receive a partner badge that can be published on your agency’s site or used in advertising materials. In addition, we will publish information about your agency on our advertising site, where potential clients will see you in our list of partners.

Three statuses will be available for international partners:
