Atlanta Search Engine Positioning Firm Prominent Placement Wins American Marketing Association Award

Oct. 30, 2005 - Prominent Placement, Inc., a leading Atlanta search engine positioning firm, received an Atlanta Marketer of the Year (AMY) Award from the American Marketing Association (AMA) for the firm's strategic Internet marketing campaign for The Atlanta Children's Shelter.

Presented on October 27, 2005 at the annual American Marketing Association Awards Gala in Atlanta, the AMY Awards recognize excellence and effectiveness in marketing programs created by Atlanta area agencies and businesses.

For the third year in a row, Prominent Placement achieved excellence in the Search Engine Marketing category. This category recognizes strategic Internet marketing campaigns that increase traffic and effectiveness for websites by utilizing search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertising or a combination of both. Prominent Placement is the only Atlanta SEO company to have received honors in this category for three years in a row.

The Atlanta search engine positioning firm won a Gold AMY for a search marketing campaign conducted for the Atlanta Children's Shelter, a nonprofit agency whose mission is to provide loving, high-quality child development and support services for homeless families striving for self-sufficiency.

Prominent Placement's goal was to use search engine marketing to build awareness, communicate the Atlanta Children's Shelter brand, and drive donations. Atlanta Children's Shelter was literally invisible to the search engines prior to the project. Prominent Placement worked with the organization to restructure their website, optimize the website for search engines, and conduct a linking campaign. "With a 272 percent increase in website traffic from search engines, and a 617 percent increase in top three rankings in the search engines, we are extremely happy with the results," said Prominent Placement Co-principal Matt Williams.
