Impressive Digital follow their APAC Search Awards win with a shortlist nomination at the Global Search Awards, Here they share their journey including how they clinched shortlist status.
Who We Are
Impressive Digital is a Melbourne-based, B Corp certified integrated performance marketing agency. Since 2016, we’ve grown from a start‑up challenger to one of Australia’s fastest‑rising digital agencies. Our mission has stayed clear: help brands achieve measurable growth by combining data, creativity, and innovation.
We cover the full digital funnel – SEO, paid media, social, email, conversion optimisation – all designed to deliver impact. But what truly sets us apart is how we work. Our hybrid model integrates our specialists with in‑house marketing teams, creating real collaboration and allowing us to go deeper into business challenges. This approach consistently uncovers smarter ways to unlock sustainable growth.
Today, we partner with ambitious brands across retail, SaaS, finance, healthcare and eCommerce. Every engagement is underpinned by performance‑based fees, so our success is tied directly to our clients’ success. That commitment has earned us recognition not only in Australia but on the global stage.
The Work That Earned Global Recognition
Our nominated work for the Global Search Awards 2025 represents some of our most innovative SEO thinking. We helped a leading eCommerce brand overcome stagnating traffic, declining conversions and increasing competition from international players.
Through a combination of advanced technical SEO, intent-led content, and authority-driven digital PR, our team engineered a strategy that reversed declining performance and created long-term growth. Some of the campaign highlights include:
- Technical transformation: Optimising site architecture, page speed, and schema to ensure better indexation and stronger Core Web Vitals performance.
- Authority through content: Publishing a library of guides, how-to resources, and in-depth category pages that targeted both informational and transactional queries.
- Link acquisition strategy: Securing placements in high-authority publications and relevant industry media to strengthen trust signals.
- Revenue-focused outcomes: Rather than chasing vanity metrics, we measured success through qualified traffic, lead generation, and revenue uplift.
The results were undeniable. Organic traffic grew by double digits within months, lead quality improved, and the brand achieved a measurable increase in conversions that outpaced previous years. This project demonstrated what happens when creativity, data, and precision come together. It also reinforced our belief that SEO can be a primary driver of revenue for ambitious brands, even in saturated markets.
What Being Shortlisted Means to Impressive
Being shortlisted for the Global Search Awards 2025 is a milestone for our entire team. The awards celebrate the best in digital marketing worldwide, and to be recognised alongside leading agencies validates the commitment and innovation we bring to every project.
For our SEO specialists, this recognition is deeply personal. Their creativity, dedication, and ability to consistently deliver results have made this possible. For our agency as a whole, it proves that our integrated model and data-driven strategies resonate beyond Australia and hold their own on the global stage.
“The Global Search Awards provide a prime platform for agencies to showcase the exceptional work we deliver for our clients and gain well-deserved recognition. For Impressive Digital, it’s also a fantastic opportunity to be seen by peers and potential clients alike. Winning an award would be a major achievement for the agency and the entire SEO team, celebrating their creativity, dedication, and tireless efforts to drive outstanding results. It would not only elevate our agency’s visibility but also honour the SEO team members behind our innovative, award-worthy strategies.”
Innovation at the Heart of What We Do
The nominated work highlights more than one campaign. It reflects the culture of innovation inside Impressive. Our team thrives on experimentation and continual improvement. We don’t rely on old playbooks. Instead, we adapt to the rapid changes in search algorithms, new AI-driven technologies, and shifts in user behaviour.
Our proprietary Skailed platform has been another driver of growth for clients. By automating repetitive tasks, we give our strategists more time to focus on insight and creativity. That balance of automation and human expertise ensures campaigns run efficiently while still delivering the type of unique strategies that make our clients leaders in their industries.
Recognition Beyond Awards
Awards are important markers of achievement, but what matters most is the impact on our clients. Every project we take on is measured against KPIs that align with business growth, leads, sales, sign-ups, and customer lifetime value.
That client-first approach has helped us retain long-term partnerships with brands that trust us to push boundaries. Being shortlisted for a Global Search Award adds credibility to those relationships. It reassures our clients that they’re working with a partner capable of world-class execution.
The Journey So Far
From our beginnings in Melbourne in 2016 to being named a finalist for a global award in 2025, the journey has been defined by growth and resilience. We have weathered market shifts, embraced new technologies, and scaled our operations to meet demand from local and international clients.
Our B Corp certification reflects another milestone. It confirms that growth and responsibility can go hand in hand. We believe that success comes not only from delivering ROI but also from building sustainable practices that support people, communities, and the planet.
What’s Next for Impressive
Being shortlisted fuels our drive to keep evolving. Whether or not we take home the award, we’ll continue refining our SEO processes, expanding expertise across channels and finding new ways to give our clients a competitive edge.
As the digital landscape shifts with AI, automation and changing user behaviours, our mission stays clear: redefine performance marketing to deliver measurable growth for ambitious brands.
