Delante Shortlisted for US Search Awards 2021
We’re super proud every time our processes are being appreciated in an international arena. This time our SEO campaign for a client from the vaping industry got nominated in 3 categories of US Search Awards.
US Search Awards is an annual competition that gathers SEO companies to reward the very best in SEO, PPC, and Content Marketing across the United States. Each year hundreds of Search agencies and companies try their best to present their processes in the competition. The case studies submitted to the competition are judged by an international jury containing the world’s leading SEO experts that examine applications in a two-step process.
After earning our spot in last year’s editions of International Performance Marketing Awards, European Search Awards, Global Search Awards, and Global Agency Awards, Delante is now on the right track to being recognized in yet another market – the US. We’re extremely happy that our SEO process caught the jury’s attention with its innovative approach and results and got nominated in 3 categories.

US Search Awards 2021 – Delante’s Case
The nomination is making us proud, especially since the process we applied with wasn’t the easiest! We decided to show fight for the award presenting how a well-composed SEO campaign can improve a company’s performance even in the highly restricted industry.
The vaping industry is really hard to promote – each US state has different laws regarding tobacco & vaping products. In such cases, SEO can be the only way to reach new audiences and obtain clients, however even in the SEO process we had our limitations.
Link building needed to be done carefully to avoid penalties. We based the process on the competition analysis and went for activities not yet used by other companies – mainly content creation that supported the brand’s visibility.
After 12 months of cooperation we managed to:
- Increase organic traffic by 559.91% compared to the previous year. Our goal set with the client was to increase the number of sessions to 130.000 per month. Eventually, we reached 276.699 sessions per month.
- Significantly increase website visibility:
After a year of cooperation, we exceed the goals set with the client at the beginning of the cooperation.
So, keep your fingers crossed for us! The winners will be announced during the online gala taking place on 7th October 2021! We can’t wait to see who’s going to win!
