We have some exciting news to share. Localsearch has been named a finalist in four categories at the 2026 Global Digital Excellence Awards, an international awards program for digital agencies and in-house teams.
The four finalist categories
Localsearch has been shortlisted for:
- →Standout B2C PPC Campaign of the Year: for consumer-facing Google Ads work judged on conversion rates and return on ad spend.
- →Standout Paid Social Media Campaign of the Year: for paid Facebook and Instagram advertising judged on engagement and conversion.
- →Standout Use of Meta: for creative and strategic use of the Meta platforms specifically.
- →Standout Low Budget PPC Campaign of the Year: for the strongest results delivered on a tightly capped monthly budget.
All four sit inside paid media and paid social, a core part of the work we do for clients every day.
About the Global Digital Excellence Awards
The awards are run by Don’t Panic Events, also behind the UK Digital Excellence Awards. Across every category, judges are looking for the same things: smart use of data, strong creative, solid technical execution and results that hold up, not agency size. A small in-house team can be shortlisted next to a much larger network on that basis alone.
