Judging Criteria

According to the US Search Awards, the judging criteria is based on many factors. Judges will be looking for clear objectives, creative and effective implementation, and tangible and demonstrable results in the campaign award categories. They will also consider structure, presentation, and clarity of each entry.

Entry must include information under the following headings:

• Total Budget
• Objectives
• Strategy & Target Audience
• Creativity & Implementation
• Results & Evaluation

“It sounds cliché to say but it is truly a huge honor in our industry to even be a finalist. The competition is fierce, and the criteria is stringent!”, said Matt Palis, President and CEO.

Pursuing SEO Awards

It is easy to think that there are better ways to utilize time and energy then to apply for award consideration. But most companies who win these awards are not doing it for vanity, but to raise the level of service they provide to clients.

They compare strategy, structure, team, and performance to agencies that are producing excellent results and return for their clients.

Reputable awards like the US Search Awards provide companies in Digital Marketing and SEO the opportunity to gauge their value to clients (and the industry) against some of the best in the business.

The reason many marketers in the SEO industry work so hard to be transparent, trustworthy, and effective is that the industry, unfortunately does carry a stigma of lacking in those characteristics.

Things like the industry awards, certifications, ambassadorship, and case studies all contribute to raising the bar for SEO Agencies that want to be among the best.
