New awards for 2017
In 2016, the finalists and winners were often separated by only fractions of a point, making it incredibly difficult for our judging panel across the board.
After seeing such a diverse field of truly amazing submissions in last year’s competition, where we sometimes compared apples to oranges, we have expanded the opportunities to recognize the great work being done in premium verticals such as Travel & Lifestyle, Financial Services, Automotive and B2B markets.
In total, 25 categories are open for entries across SEO and SEM disciplines. See all of the Search Engine Land Awards categories here.
The 3rd Annual Landy Awards Gala
The presentation of the “Landy Awards” takes place in conjunction our annual Search Marketing Expo and conference in New York City, happening October 24–26, 2017.
Last year’s swanky affair set the stage for celebrating the highest honors in search marketing among colleagues, peers and luminaries in the search community in style.
This year’s gala event will be held at the equally glamorous Diamond Horseshoe venue at the historic Paramount Hotel in Times Square, on Wednesday, October 25, from 7 to 11 p.m.
