Leading industry publication Search Engine Land recently announced Uproer as a finalist in the 2019 Search Engine Land Awards. This year’s competition saw nearly 230 submissions from leading digital agencies, in-house marketing teams, and individuals around the world. Uproer’s submission, "How Uproer Grew Paid Search Revenue by 258% for Branch Basics in 12 Months", earned a spot on the shortlist for the Best Overall SEM Initiative - Small Business category.

Ginny Marvin, Search Engine Land’s Editor-in-Chief and four-year judge of the awards, was impressed by the depth and scope of entries in this year’s competition: “Every year, it's an honor to get an inside view into some of the best work being done in our industry. The creativity and technical and marketing sophistication illustrated in this year's entries is truly inspiring. They highlight the dedication of search marketers to consistently grow, learn and evolve their practices to deliver the best results for clients and stakeholders.”

Winners will be announced during an evening awards ceremony and celebratory gala on June 4, 2019 at the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle. The event takes place during the week of Search Engine Land’s annual SMX Advanced conference.

Marvin will co-host this year’s awards ceremony with Search Engine Land’s Vice President of Content Henry Powderly and industry veterans and Search Engine Land contributors Detlef Johnson and Jessica Bowman.

The Search Engine Land Awards program is produced by Third Door Media with the support of its sponsor, Microsoft Advertising. A portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit this year’s selected charity, New Beginnings, a Seattle-based women’s shelter supporting survivors of domestic violence.

About The Search Engine Land Awards

The Search Engine Land Awards launched in New York City back in 2016 and has grown into an industry-leading program recognizing excellence in search marketing (organic search engine optimization and paid search advertising). Applicants are evaluated for best practices in core aspects of SEO and SEM and the results driven by search-focused campaign initiatives. A portion of all proceeds from the entry fees and reception tickets go directly to charity. Past charitable recipients have included The Dana Farber Cancer Foundation, Girls Who Code, and Mental Health America. Sponsorship of the awards event is independent of the judging and review process and does not impact the outcome of the results.
