Elite SEO Consulting Wins 2025 U.S. Agency Award

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Elite SEO Consulting, one of the nation's fastest-growing SEO and AI search optimization firms, has been awarded a 2025 U.S. Agency Award, securing the title of Best New Agency.

Elite's programs incorporate Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), schema-driven entity reinforcement, AI/LLM search visibility engineering, and its proprietary LLM Visibility Accelerator, designed to position clients within the answer layers of ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and multisearch platforms.

Award-Winning Technical Innovation

Leaders in Digital Marketing, international search organizations, and industry experts judge the U.S. Agency Awards and US Search Awards. Rankings are based on Agency Key Performance Indicators, client results, strategy, campaign execution, innovation, and validated business impact.

Elite SEO Consulting's entry stood out for its strong ROI and client metrics, transparent reporting frameworks, Agency performance, and the tangible results delivered by its senior team of experts.

"This award validates the power of the systems we've engineered," said Michael Hodgdon, Founder & Managing Director. "Our Quickest Path to ROI SEO model and LLM Visibility Accelerator were built to deliver accelerated ROI and help companies dominate both traditional search and the new AI-generated answer layer. Being recognized by such a respected panel confirms that the standard we set is truly among the best in the country."
