6 February 2024 Blog Posts
The APAC Search Awards honour the accomplishments of Search experts across the APAC region who demonstrate remarkable growth, engagement, and provide value to the client. We are proud to announce that we have won four awards at the 2024 APAC Search Awards!
The awards we won are:
- Best Use of Search (Fashion) with Louenhide
- Best Low Budget Campaign with Hemley Store
- Best Use of Search (Travel and Leisure) – Silver with Hardkorr
- Silver for Best Use of Search (Automotive)
We were also shortlisted for three other awards:
- Best Large SEO Agency
- Best Use of Search (eCommerce) with The White Collection
- Most Innovative Campaign with Wahu
The team had a fantastic time attending the awards ceremony in person for the first time. It was a special experience filled with excitement and solidarity.
Being there with APAC’s SEO and Search finest, celebrating achievements, and witnessing the recognition firsthand added an extra layer of joy to the occasion. The atmosphere was electric, and we felt a sense of pride and accomplishment simply being in the room.
Bagging the Best Use of Search (Fashion) with Louenhide
Poorly executed website migrations can have a detrimental impact on a website’s performance. To mitigate risks, it’s crucial to execute the migration correctly, and this is precisely what we accomplished with Louenhide.
Our migration strategy with Louenhide has led to substantial month-on-month and year-on-year growth in the Organic channel. We achieved over 150% increase in impressions, 57% increase in sessions and a massive 267% increase in first page keywords.
Furthermore, our feasibility study and the establishment of a strong website architecture has enabled us to effectively connect Louenhide’s timeless, affordable women’s accessories with their target customers.
Stylish growth and wins despite working with a low budget for Hemley Store
It is very exciting to have won Best Low Budget Campaign with Hemley Store. Despite a smaller and limited budget, we have been able to help this small business owner with a single brick and mortar store, move closer to achieving their dream of opening a second store.
In addition to helping our client edge closer to their dreams, we also achieved unprecedented keyword expansion (+148% first page keywords), targeted and quality traffic growth (+48% organic sessions and +63% organic new users) and a seamless user experience.
Through implementation of a comprehensive SEO strategy involving extensive keyword research, on-page optimisation, technical SEO enhancements, and link building, Hemley Store significantly improved their online visibility, attracted quality traffic, and converted them into paying customers.
Lighting Up Organic Search for a win in the Best Use of Search – Travel/Leisure category for Hardkorr
Hardkorr is a very strong example of a successful eCommerce SEO strategy and we are proud to see them win the Best Use of Search (Travel/Leisure) award.
Hardkorr is an eCommerce store selling lighting and power for camping and 4×4 applications. They partnered with us in 2021 to grow their organic rankings with a new domain.
What makes this campaign standout is the sheer step incline in page 1 keyword growth that has taken place over the past 1-2 years. First page rankings increased by 47% and top three rankings by 81%. Better yet, the website has come off the back of a migration and their new domain has only existed for a year prior!
Over the last two years, we have been able to achieve incredible results for Hardkorr’s rankings and online engagement, solidifying a mutually positive and long lasting relationship.
Achieving a Silver award for Best Use of Search (Automotive)
For this client, we utilised a technical and data-driven SEO strategy that has outperformed all other similar sized companies on Neto. Our careful prep and strategy enabled sharp (and sustained) keyword and traffic growth.
We have hit all our original KPIs and goals for the client, and our work has pushed Organic Search up into the top performing channel across all metrics for the website.
By addressing the URL site architecture, out of stock issues, enhancing the user experience, fixing technical errors, acquiring links, targeting the right audience and focusing on products with high ROI and profit margins.
The enhanced keyword research strategy and utilisation of data in their SEO efforts helped them achieve significant growth in search visibility and organic channel growth.
We want to thank all our clients for standing by with us and building strong connections. A big shout out to all the judges at Don’t Panic for recognising our hard work and giving us these awards. Congrats to the other companies who won and got shortlisted – you’re all doing great things in our industry!
