Charlie Shaw and Patrick Carragher win SEO Agency of the Year 2026

Slingshot Marketing, a results-based agency for UK trade businesses, named SEO Agency of the Year 2026 at the British Agency Awards

Oct. 28, 2026 - PRLog -- Slingshot Marketing, a two-person SEO agency based in Congleton, Cheshire, has been named SEO Agency of the Year 2026 at the British Agency Awards.

The agency was founded in June 2023 by Charlie Shaw and Patrick Carragher, who carry out all of the work themselves, with no account managers and nothing outsourced.

The winning entry was a case study for a company that carries out the thorough examinations businesses are legally required to have on their equipment.

A website that barely existed on Google
Before engaging Slingshot, the company's Director had spent significant sums with agencies promising to get the business found on Google, but to no avail.

What the agency built
Slingshot rebuilt the site from scratch in Wix Studio, with every page targeting a specific search a customer actually makes. The new site went live on 22 June 2026, eleven days after the company paid its first invoice.

The approach included:
  • A hub page for each inspection type
  • Pages built around what people actually search.
  • Articles answering buyers' questions.
  • Authority building.
  • Nothing lost in the switch.

The results
In August, the new site received 108 clicks and 15,200 impressions from Google, against 1 click in the three months before launch. Average position moved from 77 to 15.
  • 50 keywords ranking, 33 of them in the top 10 and 26 in the top three
  • 24 pages cited in Google's AI Overviews by 8 September
  • 13 form enquiries in the first ten weeks, with more coming in by phone on top
  • The SEO paid for itself in month three

In month three, a company the client had been trying to work with for years found them through the website, and now spends four figures a year. Two further enquiries came through Microsoft Copilot rather than Google, one of them from a London borough council.

In the client's words: "It's a bit crazy to see the turn around. Makes me wonder how much opportunity I've missed over the last 3 years."

What the judges said
The jury described the entry as "really really clear on what it did for client", singling out the client quotes and the proof behind the results.

The agency notes one honest caveat: the winning client sells a specialist service with less competition than, say, driveways in a busy town. How quickly a site moves depends on how strong the companies already ranking are, and Slingshot tells prospective clients where they stand before they spend anything.

Timberwolves confident Edwards will be ‘good as new’ after knee surgery

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Timberwolves believe Anthony Edwards will be “good as new” following arthroscopic surgery for a lingering injury to his right knee, president of basketball operations Tim Connelly said Wednesday. Edwards was scheduled for the cleanup procedure Thursday, after which the Timberwolves will have a clearer timetable for his return later this season, whether that becomes a matter of weeks or months. Connelly didn't specify the diagnosis, but Edwards was bothered by right knee pain last spring and limited to a career-low 61 games last season. He then suffered a hyperextension of his left knee in the first round of the playoffs that caused a deep bone bruise and kept him out for two games. Edwards was seen grabbing his knee with a grimace at one point Sunday during the home opener. Even after being listed as questionable to play Monday, Edwards scored 47 points in an overtime loss at Cleveland. His 133 points through four games is a franchise record. An MRI Tuesday revealed new damage for Edwards that was not detected in previous scans, which were done before training camp and during the playoffs. His condition this summer was not such that a procedure would have been recommended then, Connelly said. “He wants to play tonight. He looked pretty good the other night, having the 47,” Connelly said before the Timberwolves hosted Golden State. “We’re just concerned about his long-term health. We want to make sure we’re putting him in the best position he can be so he can be the best version he’s going to be for a long time.” Edwards, ever the intense competitor, consented to the surgery “kicking and screaming,” Connelly said. “He’s bummed, but Anthony is such a naturally positive and upbeat guy,” Connelly said. “He’s hit all his teammates quickly and said, ‘You guys got it,’ and we’ll roll from there.” The Timberwolves are already without guard Donte DiVincenzo, who started all 82 games last season before tearing his right Achilles tendon in the same playoff game against Denver during which Edwards hyperextended his left knee. The acquisition of point guard LaMelo Ball remade the lineup and gave the Timberwolves a fresh spark, moving Edwards back to his natural shooting guard spot. There's plenty of backcourt depth with Ayo Dosunmu and Terrence Shannon Jr. coming off the bench so far this season, with one of them likely to start in the absence of Edwards. Another backup, Bones Hyland, will likely have an elevated role as well. “We know he brings dynamic scoring, leadership. Tough to fill in his shoes, just from what he does on the floor for us. Nobody can be like Ant, but we've got players who can step in and just take over a game as well,” Hyland said. “Just play team basketball.”
