Best SEO recognises outstanding organic search — technical excellence, content, and measurable traffic growth.
The Best SEO award is one of 10 categories in the first-ever EcomExpo E-Commerce Awards — the Baltic region’s e-commerce awards, judged by an independent jury and announced live on 1 October 2026 in Vilnius. Here is what it rewards, what a strong entry shows, and how to enter.
What the Best SEO award rewards
It rewards organic programmes that move revenue, not just rankings. Judges want technical health, content depth, and a clear line from traffic to sales.
What a strong entry shows
Every entry is scored on the same 100-point rubric — goals & budget, target audience & strategy, creativity & innovation, execution, and results & impact (weighted highest). For Best SEO, the jury looks for:
- Organic traffic and revenue growth with clear before/after numbers
- Keyword visibility and ranking gains for commercial terms
- Technical wins — Core Web Vitals, indexation, structured data
- The content or programmatic strategy and how it scaled
- Attribution showing organic driving orders and revenue
Organic growth connected to commercial results
Evidence to look for: Show non-brand search visibility alongside organic orders and revenue for comparable periods. Include the technical or content changes and their release dates.
What needs context: Explain seasonality, tracking changes, branded demand and other campaigns. Separate rankings from commercial outcomes.
Illustrative example — not an actual entrant: Organic orders moving from 1,200 to 1,560 is +30%. State the equal-length periods and attribution model; the increase alone does not prove that one SEO change caused it.

Questions
Does Best SEO reward rankings or revenue?+
