Tim Cohn spotted that the Google Advertising Professionals Search is now live. It can be accessed at adwords.google.com/professionals/search and lets you search for certified AdWords professionals based on location and budget.
After you conduct a search, you can narrow your search even more by checking off additional services offered by the agencies in Google’s database. They include Online display advertising, Search engine optimization, Traditional advertising (print, TV), Web design, Website analytics, Affiliate programs, New media (mobile & social networks), Creative and design services, Call recording and tracking, Auto-optimization tools and Marketing consultancy.
Google has not yet announced this new beta search. For more details about a Google Advertising Professional, click here.

Just checked this out — see where it has some flaws for finding consultants or agencies. For instance, my search gave me a first result of an in-house PPC person at Walt Disney Company. Should be interesting to see if companies will use it to find agencies/consultants (or even do recruiting possibly).
I actually got a lead from it already!
happy New Year guys
