Digital Hitmen, a Perth-based boutique SEO agency, has been shortlisted in three categories for the 2025 programme.

Renowned for its expert-led, hands-on approach, Digital Hitmen stands out as an agency where clients work directly with specialists — not account managers — to achieve measurable growth. Combining technical precision, creative strategy, and future-focused innovation, the agency has built a reputation as Perth’s most award-winning small SEO firm, consistently outperforming larger competitors on the global stage.

Finalist – Standout B2B SEO Campaign of the Year

Campaign: MCT Equipment

Digital Hitmen delivered a precision-engineered SEO campaign that transformed a machinery dealer’s online presence into a consistent, high-quality lead engine. The strategy achieved a 59 per cent increase in organic enquiries, establishing MCT Equipment as an industry leader in the heavy-equipment sector.

Finalist – Standout B2C SEO Campaign of the Year

Campaign: Aussie Patio Designs

For Aussie Patio Designs, Digital Hitmen executed a local-first SEO and content hub strategy that produced a 248 per cent increase in organic traffic and more than 1,100 per cent growth in top-three keyword rankings. The campaign helped the Perth-based business secure sustained search dominance and record demand for installations.

Finalist – Standout Use of AI

Campaign: Discovery Alert

Digital Hitmen’s innovative use of AI-powered publishing systems elevated Discovery Alert from a start-up to a global news platform. The project grew monthly organic sessions from 623 to more than 142,000, secured Google News approval, and expanded readership to 64 countries through advanced AI prompt engineering and structured content refinement.

What Makes These Nominations Unique?

Digital Hitmen’s three nominations are more than a recognition of campaign performance — they represent a small Perth agency competing against some of the largest digital teams in the world.

In an industry often dominated by scale and volume, Digital Hitmen’s success proves that precision, expertise, and accountability outperform headcount. Every strategy is built and delivered directly by senior specialists — not filtered through layers of account management — ensuring clarity, agility, and measurable ROI.

Their transparent, expert-led, and innovation-first model demonstrates how a boutique agency can achieve global impact: using technical depth, creative execution, and data-driven insight to rival (and often outperform) enterprise competitors.

These nominations confirm what their clients already know — that a small, focused team of experts can deliver world-class results when every decision is made with intent, precision, and purpose.
