As a 2021 MENA Search Awards Best SEO Agency winner, we as Kriko proudly announce that we have been shortlisted for the Best Local Campaign (SEO) and Best Use of Search – B2C (SEO) nominations this year. Let’s take a closer look at our 2023 European Search Awards journey and the story behind these honorary nominations.

About Kriko

As a boutique agency, Kriko defines itself as offering digital services for SEO and other purposes. We provide our internationally recognized companies with full-scope SEO services in addition to corporate training, content marketing, Google Analytics, and ASO services. As “Kriko works, digital rises!” is our motto, we strive to continuously develop, refresh, and grow both our brands and us. With respect to our brands, we don’t position ourselves as a third-party agency; rather, we consider ourselves to be the internal SEO team for any brand we partner with. Since its founding in 2018, Kriko has steadily and successfully grown into a premier provider of SEO services.

Kriko’s Brands

Throughout our tenure in the industry, we have had the honor of working with a number of globally recognized, esteemed, and enormously powerful businesses, such as Olx, Letgo, Vakko Group, Corendon Airlines, Bilyoner, Sixt, Evidea, and Estee Lauder Group. We have also had the privilege of working with Hopi, Tatilsepeti, Mavi, Sodexo, TEB, A101, and Alarko Carrier, among other national and international brands.

2021’s Proud Winner: Kriko

We are overjoyed and bursting with pride to have taken home the “Best Small SEO Agency of the Year” title in 2021 after only one attempt. Being nominated and shortlisted as finalists in six additional categories the same year made us equally proud. With this, we want to give thanks to the MENA Search Awards community for their support and let them know that we are thrilled to have joined such an incredible family.

Kriko’s 2023 MENA Awards Road

As we collaborated with such incredible brands and created success story after success, it was nearly impossible for us to resist entering our strongest and most self-assured projects for consideration in the European Search Awards. After winning the Best SEO Agency title in 2021, we became even more motivated to strive for our best and continue our appraised, renowned, and acknowledged work. In our capacity as Kriko, we submitted applications for the European Search Awards in two categories this year: Our “Kriko & Bella Maison – Expecto Patronum” project in the Best Use of Search – B2C category and our “Kriko & Petrol Ofisi – Fill up the Gas Tank!” project in the Best Local SEO Campaign category. With these nominations, we want to share the performance of our young, dynamic, and skilled staff with the rest of the industry and give voice to our platform.

Our Nominations

  • Best Local Campaign (SEO): Kriko & Petrol Ofisi — Fill up the Gas Tank!
  • Best Use of Search – B2C (SEO): Kriko & Bella Maison — Expecto Patronum

A Note from the CEO

One of the most significant partnerships in the digital sector, The MENA Search Awards have been held for more than a decade and provide qualified, merit-based, and excellent assessments. It can be very exhausting to come up with ideas, develop strategies, conduct in-depth competitor studies, and oversee algorithm optimization procedures, all with the goal of doing what’s best for our client throughout several months of intense SEO labor. It is thrilling to know that the sector will benefit from all of these difficult procedures, and it is a great source of pride to know that their efforts will be recognized after a professional assessment. One of our main sources of motivation during this process has been the MENA Search Awards’ encouragement for individuals and businesses to exchange and replicate sector-specific knowledge and visualize our success.
