The evolution of search excellence.
Victorious began in the early 2010s as one of the many fresh-faced agencies entering the new inbound marketing scene. We spent the next several years building a full-service digital marketing agency with SEO as a supportive pillar to a larger set of services.
But in 2016, we made a hard pivot to focus on SEO alone.
Why SEO?
As a full-service agency, we had glimpsed the unrealized potential of organic search. Shifting our focus to innovations in search optimization offered an opportunity to rewrite the digital marketing narrative.
By keeping laser-focused on mastering one craft, we could channel all our resources into creating SEO results that would transcend the scattershot efforts of general agencies.
It was a defining moment — a choice between sticking to a well-trodden path or daring to build something exceptional, regardless of the risks. We chose the latter.
SEO-Only Success
In 2018, only two years after becoming an SEO-only agency, we garnered two global SEO Agency of the Year awards and one US SEO Agency of the Year win. Time and again, panels of industry experts determined that the results we generated for our customers were truly world-class.
We built on that momentum to innovate and integrate data-backed SEO services into a strategic methodology with the power to generate compounding success for our customers.
The framework we created for our services redefined the possibilities for search-driven marketing gains.
As a result, in 2022, industry experts at the US Search Awards recognized Victorious as the Best Large Agency of the Year — the first time an SEO-only agency had captured the title.
Then, in 2023, we brought home two more Best SEO Agency awards, making us the most highly awarded search agency in the industry.
Defining a Search-First Strategy
These accolades fuel our drive to help our customers achieve even more outstanding results in search.
By putting search first in our customers’ marketing strategies, we’ve generated undeniable results across various verticals and in every market to help businesses thrive despite their unique challenges, a global pandemic, and a changing economic landscape.
But we’re not done yet.
The SEO landscape is different today than it was a decade ago. Keeping search at the center of it all, we’re still expanding our marketing services to support our customers and capture new search potential.
What powers our relentless drive to do better and be better?
Our values. They’re the foundation of our success and the never-changing reminder of who we are and why we’re here.
Maybe they’ll be the foundation of your success, too.
Driven by passion, defined by growth.
We pride ourselves living out our values every single day and putting our customers first.
