To say that we’re just thrilled or happy to receive the news that SEOMG! made the shortlist for SEO agency of the year wouldn’t do anyone justice.
Making it to the finals for this category is a testament to our incredibly dedicated team who truly care about the work they do, and this award nomination encapsulates all of the incredible work we’ve done not only for our clients, but also to make our agency a truly great place to work.
It is a real honour to be recognised and to stand among the very best in our industry, and, from humble beginnings to where we are now, we couldn’t be more proud of our journey so far.
“We’re thrilled to be nominated for SEO Agency of the Year!
This recognition highlights our growing team’s efforts and expertise in delivering strong results and dedication to building strong relationships with our clients.
I’m incredibly proud of every member of SEOMG!, all of whom have played a part in getting us this finalist spot.” – Gwen Shek, SEO Director
About SEOMG!
Founded at the beginning of the pandemic, SEOMG! was born out of a desire to create a better working environment for SEO professionals – one which enables them to not only do their very best work, but also promotes a healthy work-life balance.
We believe that happy, motivated employees are the key to delivering outstanding results, which is why we offer a 4-day work week at full-time salaries – an approach which not only led to our highly motivated team, but also led to a staff retention rate far above the industry average.
Since our lift-off in 2020, we’ve grown to an incredibly talented team of 15, including six experienced consultants and six analysts across SEO and digital PR, two project managers, and an HR manager.
We also offer a trainee scheme for prospective SEO professionals – and this went so successfully that we simply had to keep our two trainees this year on as full-time staff.
Our vision was never to set out to be the biggest agency out there, it was simply to offer the very best work we can do, and we believe our outstanding results speaks volumes about the positive work environment we’ve cultivated.
“SEOMG!’s trainee scheme has offered me the opportunity to enter a fascinating industry and work with people who are passionate about SEO.
It’s been absolutely inspiring to see how hard everyone here works.
Being shortlisted for the best small agency category is further affirmation that this agency knows how to go fast without breaking things.” – Simon Hauwaerts, Junior SEO Analyst
SEO Agency of the Year (small)
Our nomination for the “Best Small Agency” award is rooted in several key initiatives and accomplishments, including our commitment to a seamless client experience while adhering to our 4-day work week.
We’ve also focused on driving growth through innovative marketing strategies, such as our participation in BrightonSEO and being the first agency to host a direct recruitment stand at the event.
This not only raised awareness of SEOMG!, but also resulted in the successful onboarding of a new team member.
We also believe in “practising what you preach” and, with our own exemplary SEO efforts, we’ve secured the #1 position in the SERPs for ‘SEO agency Brighton.’
Furthermore, we’ve made significant strides in diversifying our service lines – having launched our Digital PR and CRO services within the last year, and are already generating some great successes.
Our Recent Success: V&A Mused
One of the standout projects that contributed to our award nomination is our collaboration with the Victoria & Albert Museum for the ‘mused’ digital platform and a festive Christmas quiz, both launched in September 2023.
This project was aimed at engaging Generation Alpha through a blend of data-driven strategies and culturally relevant content.
The results of the campaign speak for themselves: we exceeded our original target by an impressive 237% and, by April 2024, the platform had attracted users equating to 640% of our target.
We believe these fantastic results just eight months after launch highlight the effectiveness of our SEO strategies and the strong partnership we’ve built with the V&A – all working to deliver the V&A Mused offering to a new generation.
What Makes SEOMG! Different?
SEOMG! was founded by two passionate SEO professionals who wanted to create an agency which enabled their team to thrive – ensuring a team morale high enough to provide the best possible results for clients.
Since our conception, we’ve brought seasoned consultants and supporting analysts to our team – creating partnerships which not only encourages everyone’s best work, but also supports innovative thinking.
We’ve also grown our Digital PR and CRO offerings, bringing better results to our clients through some incredibly exciting campaigns.
From our coveted 4-day work-week to our trainee scheme which nurtures budding talent, we’ve grown into a team with over 100 years combined organic growth experience; all with the end-goal of making life easy for our clients.
To further achieve this goal, all of our strategic, technical, and content-focused work is bespoke to the needs of our client – we never rely on cookie-cutter templates, and we work directly with developers to get things done, cutting the bloat whilst prioritising what matters and empowering the businesses we work with to embed SEO into their workflows.
We’re incredibly proud to have been shortlisted for these awards – and this is just a testament to what a passionate and dedicated team can achieve!
“I’m incredibly proud of our team’s dedication and the brilliant atmosphere we’ve built at SEOMG!.
Being shortlisted for this award is proof of our collective hard work, and shows that sticking to the norm doesn’t necessarily produce the best results.
We’re thrilled by this recognition and excited to continue our growth, pushing boundaries and delivering exceptional results for our clients.” – Luke Smith, Co-founder
