Publicity from Google 

All Experts are featured on the Directory page and have an individual public profile on the program website to help promote their relationship with Google.

The Google Developer Experts program initially started in Japan as the Google Developer API Expert program. In July 2012 Google renamed it to Google Developers Expert program and made it available to developers around the world. In 2014 the official Google Developers Expert site started referring to the program as Google Developer Experts.

Global network of professionals 

Experts are invited to join closed communities and mailing lists designed to help program members share learnings and best practices.
