Share This Post

We’re proud to share that Lobo Digital has been shortlisted as a Finalist for Best Digital Marketing Agency at the UK Small Business Awards 2026, selected from tens of thousands of small businesses across the UK.

What has Lobo Digital been recognised for?

Lobo Digital has been named a Finalist in the Best Digital Marketing Agency category at the UK Small Business Awards 2026. The awards received entries from tens of thousands of UK small businesses this year, with tougher entry criteria than in previous years, which makes the shortlisting a meaningful mark of credibility for clients evaluating who to trust with their marketing.

Why does this matter for our clients?

An independent shortlisting is a signal you don’t have to take an agency’s word for. It tells prospective and current clients that Lobo Digital’s approach, blending strategy with AI-led execution across SEO, GEO and AEO, is being noticed beyond our own client base. For the SMEs and purpose-driven organisations we work with, that’s reassurance that their marketing budget is in capable hands.

What happens next?

Being a Finalist puts Lobo Digital in contention for a place in the National Top 10 at the UK Small Business Awards Grand Final. We’ll share updates as the next stage of judging progresses, and we’re grateful to every client and partner who has helped make this possible.

I had a really great experience with Lobo Digital. Marcus went above and beyond to help me and, more importantly, made sure I actually understood what was being done and why. A lot of people in this space overcomplicate things, but he explained everything in a way that made sense and took the time to answer all my questions without rushing. You can tell he genuinely cares about the businesses he works with and isn’t just trying to push services. Really appreciate the support.

We partnered with Lobo Digital three months ago, and the results have been phenomenal. Our website traffic has increased by 128%, and our organic search rankings for 10+ high-value keywords have moved from page 3 to the top 5 positions on Google. So I definitely recommend the SEO services!
