Growthack wins Best Use of Search – B2B SEO (Small) at the European Search Awards 2026, following their Best SEO Campaign win at the Northern Digital Awards this year.
Nottingham-based SEO consultancy Growthack is celebrating further industry recognition after winning Best Use of Search – B2B SEO: Small at the European Search Awards 2026. Despite its size, the agency has now won the same European Search Awards category over two consecutive years.
The latest award recognises Growthack’s work with SIS Pitches, a global sports surface specialist, following a campaign that saw the agency navigate a complex website migration and deliver €2m in global growth. In 2025, the agency won Best Use of Search – B2B SEO for its work with elementsuite, an AI-enabled HR and workforce management software provider.
The European success follows Growthack being named runner-up in the East Midlands Micro Business Award category at the FSB and HSBC Small Business Growth Awards 2026. This category recognises “businesses with up to 9 employees punching above their weight”, with more than 2,800 entries received across all categories.

Kevin Kapezi, Founder and Director of Growthack, said:
“We’re incredibly proud to win at the European Search Awards for the second year running, especially as a small Nottingham agency competing alongside some of the best search teams in Europe.
“We’ve always believed that SEO should be connected to commercial outcomes, not just rankings or traffic. For SIS Pitches, the focus was on protecting the business through a high-risk migration, then building the right foundations for sustainable growth. To see that recognised by European judges is a huge moment for the team.
“Being recognised by the FSB Growth Awards as well means a lot to us. We’re a small, local business ourselves, so to be representing Nottingham and the East Midlands on these stages is something we’re really proud of. It shows that smaller agencies can punch well above their weight when the work is strategic, focused and commercially grounded.”
The recognition comes during a period of continued momentum for Growthack, which has built a specialist reputation for helping complex B2B and e-commerce businesses turn search into a measurable growth channel. Major clients, including PassMeFast, The Brick Tile Company, and Manage At Home, have further strengthened its position across specialist e-commerce markets, alongside long-standing relationships with B2B clients such as Ampa LLP, which Growthack has supported for five years.
