There was a col­lec­tive feel­ing of excite­ment at the inau­gur­al MENA Search Awards last week. Yet anoth­er incred­i­ble year in dig­i­tal has passed at break­neck speed, so it’s always good to review and acknowl­edge strides in inno­va­tion and excel­lence. The lav­ish cer­e­mo­ny host­ed at the Jumeira Beach Hotel in Dubai cel­e­brat­ed the exper­tise, tal­ent and achieve­ments of the search indus­try hon­our­ing accom­plish­ments in SEO, PPC and con­tent mar­ket­ing in the Mid­dle East & North Africa. The awards attract­ed hun­dreds of entrants from the lead­ing tech­nol­o­gy providers and search agen­cies in MENA and were also open to those based else­where around the globe who are deliv­er­ing work for the MENA mar­ket.

After Linkdex was announced as the win­ner of the Best SEO Soft­ware Suite award, the Linkdex table burst into applause and pure unadul­ter­at­ed emo­tion. It’s safe to say that this win is extra spe­cial for us because it’s a step clos­er to being rec­og­nized as the lead­ing and tru­ly glob­al plat­form for the SEO industry.Snatching the MENA plaque also means that  Linkdex is the first-ever Best SEO Soft­ware Grand Slam win­ner, hav­ing already secured wins at the EU, US and UK Search awards! Nice­ly done, team!

Con­grat­u­la­tions to all oth­er win­ners and we hope to see you again next year!
