Integrate with Google branded services to help your customers enhance, monetize and increase visibility of their websites

As a Google Services for Websites access provider, you can help your customers get their websites set up with Google Webmaster Tools, Google Custom Search, and Google AdSense directly within your own control panel. Google Services for Websites is a free service and free of charge to your customers. For more advanced search customization, customers can choose to pay for Google Site Search. Customers should be able to opt-in to these services before accounts are created.

With the Google APIs we provide, you can:

1. With Webmaster Tools - Create accounts, submit sitemaps, implement single sign-on for your customers, and add your customer's sites to their webmaster tools accounts and verify their ownership.
2. With Google Custom Search Engine - Create accounts, quickly add search functionality to customer's websites, and associate AdSense accounts with CSE for immediate monetization.
3. With Google Site Search - Same functionality as Custom Search but with more customization and the ability to display ads-free search results.
4. With Google Web Elements - Allow your customers to make their sites dynamic by adding functionality of their favorite Google products with a few lines of code.
5. With AdSense - Create AdSense Accounts and monetize sites.

New! Make money through AdSense and Google Site Search referrals

The program offers great value to your publishers, as well as revenue opportunities for you and your publishers.

1. Your customers — publishers and website owners — can share revenues with Google if they monetize their search results and content using Google AdSense. Google Custom Search can be configured to show ads on the search results pages (similar to what you see on Google.com) using Adsense for Search. Publishers can also monetize their content using AdSense for Content (AFC).
2. You, as a provider of Google Services for Websites, will also be able to participate in referral programs that will offer you revenue opportunities. You will receive a referral fee when your website owners create new AdSense accounts that generate revenue. When your publishers upgrade their Custom Search engines to take advantage of flexible branding and further customization options via Google Site Search, you are eligible for a referral fee on those upgrades.
