The Search Engine Land Awards - #TheLandys

We are thrilled to announce the finalists for the inaugural Search Engine Land Awards. With more than 100 compelling entries, we are truly impressed by the overwhelming response and overall quality of submissions.

Our judging panel had the difficult task of narrowing the field. Choosing a winner from each of the following finalists will be even more difficult, as all have demonstrated significant results in the search marketing campaigns submitted.

We would like to take a moment to congratulate all of the finalists and to thank all of the remaining candidates for their thoughtful submissions, which will benefit the total charitable contribution.

On September 30, 2015, the winners will be announced during a special ceremony at our annual SMX After Dark evening event in New York City. We look forward to honoring all of the entrants and Celebrating the Power of Search with the entire search marketing industry. (Tickets are available now. See more information below.)
