Enter the SEO Awards — Free

No entry fees. No “bundle deals.” No 1,000-word essay that decides your fate. Tell us what you ranked, show us where to verify it, and let the data do the talking.

How entry works

  1. Submit the basics (5 minutes). Who you are, which of the 12 categories you’re entering, the URLs or campaign involved, and up to 300 words of context. That’s the maximum — we read data, not essays.
  2. Point us at proof. Public URLs are enough for pre-scoring. Shortlisted entrants can optionally share read-only Google Search Console or analytics access for verification — entries with verifiable data always beat entries with adjectives.
  3. Judging. Independent pre-scoring → shortlist → data verification → panel vote. Full process on the judges page.

Enter your own work, a client’s (with permission), or nominate someone else — community nominations are how half the 2026 shortlist was built.

Enter now: email enter@seoawards.org with your category, URLs and 300 words — or nominate someone in one line. The 2027 entry form goes live on this page shortly.
