We’re thrilled to announce that Exposure Ninja has won two awards at the Global Agency Awards 2026: SEO Agency of the Year and Integrated Search Agency of the Year.
These are two of the most competitive categories in the industry. Charlie Marchant, CEO of Exposure Ninja, says: “I’m stunned, but not shocked. I know just how incredibly talented every single colleague of mine is, how strong our results are and how brilliant our wonderful clients are too.”
Embed Quote: Charlie Marchant: “Our vision is simple: lead the search industry through one of its biggest changes in a decade. Winning these awards tells us the approach is working, but what matters most is what they represent: real growth for the clients who trust us with their most important digital channels.”
How We Won SEO Agency of the Year
Last year, we took home Silver for Best Large SEO Agency at the UK Search Awards. This year, we set our sights on gold, and we got it.
The judges commented: “Exposure Ninja has positioned itself at the forefront of one of the most significant shifts in search marketing. The strategic vision is clear and well-articulated, built around leading the industry through the emergence of AI-driven search, with sharp objectives spanning profitability, client success, market recognition and team retention.”
Winning SEO Agency of the Year reflects how our approach to Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) has evolved over the past 18 months. While much of the industry was still working out what AI Search meant, we focused on making sure that increased visibility in AI platforms like ChatGPT, AI Mode, and Google’s AI Overviews translated into measurable outcomes like leads, sales, and revenue growth for our clients.
This extends to enterprise organisations seeking specialist support in SEO and AI Search Optimisation:
- A FTSE 250 business engaged Exposure Ninja to investigate a decline in traffic and conversions across a subsidiary. We delivered AI visibility diagnostics and a technical remediation strategy to remove barriers limiting performance in search and AI platforms.
- A German DAX 30 company partnered with Exposure Ninja to address a reputational challenge, where AI systems did not recognise the organisation as “innovative.” We worked with corporate communications and PR teams to improve content, entity signals, and media strategy, strengthening brand representation across AI platforms.
It also shaped how we run the agency. We focused on higher-value, AI Search Optimisation-led work, improved our operations, and delivered our most profitable year to date.

How We Won Integrated Search Agency of the Year
The second award recognises our shift towards fully connected, multi-channel search strategies. Rather than managing SEO, Pay-Per-Click (PPC), Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO), and Content Marketing as separate services, we aligned them into a single AI Search-informed strategy focused on improving visibility, conversion, and long-term growth across both paid and organic channels.
The judges commented: “Exposure Ninja expertly embedded AI Search across technical SEO, content, digital PR and CRO, delivering measurable results before competitors had even framed the opportunity. Their ability to translate disruption into repeatable commercial advantage is what truly sets them apart.”
This unified approach delivered strong results for clients across multiple sectors, including:
- Our integrated SEO, AI Search Optimisation, content, and CRO strategy delivered 395% ROI and a 451% increase in blog-driven revenue for The Ordinary. We also reversed declining performance on a flagship product, delivering a 14% increase in sales and an 18% year-on-year rise in units sold. The client described our work as “a key driver of this double-digit growth.”
- For DSLD Mortgage in the U.S., a multi-channel strategy spanning a new website, SEO, PPC, advanced lead qualification, segmented email, and content generated 11,410 qualified leads in 12 months and earned four industry awards in the process.
- For Age Care Bathrooms, our full-funnel search strategy that combined SEO, Google Ads, CRO, email, content, and digital PR increased monthly leads from 60 to over 300, exceeding targets by 197%.
