WebFX, a tech-powered, expert-led digital marketing agency, has been named a winner of the 2026 Sales and Marketing Excellence Awards, The Sammy by the Business Intelligence Group (BIG), a global independent awards organization recognizing outstanding achievement across business disciplines. WebFX earned recognition as a Technology Market Master in the SEO, GEO & Content Discovery category for its industry-leading AI optimization solutions and OmniSEO AI visibility platform. The OmniSEO platform, built by marketers for marketers, gives businesses of all sizes insights into their presence across leading AI tools, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and more.
Russ Fordyce, Chief Recognition Officer at the Business Intelligence Group, highlighted the significance of WebFX's innovation. "WebFX saw a gap that most of the industry ignored: small-to-midsized businesses had nothing when it came to AI search visibility. With OmniSEO, they built the first integrated solution for tracking and optimizing brand visibility across generative search, and made it genuinely affordable. That kind of access-democratizing innovation is exactly what the Market Master award was created to honor."
The Sales and Marketing Excellence Awards honor the organizations, campaigns, teams, technologies, and individuals setting the standard for what sales and marketing can accomplish when strategy, execution, and accountability converge. This year's program attracted nominations from organizations across more than 20 industries worldwide and was evaluated by a panel of experienced business executives using objective scoring benchmarks.
Dan Shaffer, Sr. Director of SEO.com, expressed gratitude for the award and emphasized the importance of AI visibility. "We're honored to receive this award! Search is being rewritten in real time, and without visibility into how you show up across AI tools, you're flying blind. OmniSEO gives you a clear map of your AI visibility landscape, and it's been incredible to see how much clarity that's given the businesses we serve. That's exactly what we set out to build, and as AI search keeps evolving, we're committed to keeping our clients on the map wherever it takes them."
