Slingshot Marketing Named SEO Agency of the Year at 2026 British Agency Awards

Slingshot Marketing, a boutique agency based in Congleton, Cheshire, was recognized as SEO Agency of the Year at the 2026 British Agency Awards. The firm, led by founders Charlie Shaw and Patrick Carragher, specializes in web development, SEO, and Google Ads management for the UK trade and construction sectors.

The award was secured following a specific campaign for a specialist trade business in southern England. Prior to the intervention, the client's website recorded minimal traffic; however, following a redesign in June 2026, the client reported over 30 inquiries within 90 days and significantly improved search rankings. The agency’s strategy focuses on building individual pages for every specific service based on user search data.

The judging panel cited the agency’s transparency and clear documentation of client results as key factors in their selection. By maintaining a two-person operation and handling all client interaction directly, Slingshot Marketing aims to align its digital strategy with tangible business inquiries rather than just traffic metrics.
