LOCALiQ has been named the SEO Agency of the Year.

The digital marketing agency, which is part of Newsquest Media Group, received the accolade at the 2024 UK Agency Awards.

The awards ceremony, which celebrates the work of agencies across the UK, took place on September 25 at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

LOCALiQ's work with thousands of SMEs throughout the country, providing a range of digital solutions including SEO, digital PR, and paid search, contributed to their victory.

The agency was recognised for its significant increase in SEO revenues, growth in team headcount, and success in boosting organic keywords year-on-year across all active clients.

They also hosted an SEO masterclass webinar series that attracted more than 300 participants.

The judges praised LOCALiQ for setting ambitious goals in a competitive market.

They said: "We especially appreciate LOCALiQ’s approach to sharing knowledge.

"Rather than fearing that sharing SEO insights would lose clients, they’ve proven it strengthens their relationship.

"Their growth as a company is evident in both their internal team and their revenue."

Nick Ashwood, managing director of LOCALiQ, said: "We’re delighted to be recognised by the UK Agency Awards for the work we do to support SMEs on their digital marketing journey.

"Having a strong SEO strategy is foundational for any business, and we have assembled an incredibly skilled and dedicated team of experts who continue to expand and develop our offering.

"We are fortunate to be able to drive incredible results and outcomes for our customers, and our team does a fantastic job of communicating the complexities of the SEO world to our SME customers."

In addition to their win, LOCALiQ was also nominated for Best Integrated Campaign, Best Local Campaign, and Integrated Search Agency of the Year.
