COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Elite SEO Consulting, a Colorado Springs digital marketing agency, has been named a finalist in the 2025 U.S. Search Awards for its campaign with Wam Bam Handyman, a locally owned handyman company.
The recognition highlights both Elite SEO Consulting and the Colorado Springs business community, which continues to build a presence in the national digital marketing space.
The firm was founded by Michael Hodgdon, a 27-year veteran of the SEO industry who has led previous award-winning campaigns recognized by the U.S. Search Awards, Global Search Awards and Landy Awards. Hodgdon said the agency blends traditional SEO strategies with artificial intelligence tools to deliver faster returns for clients.
“This recognition is more than just an industry accolade. It shows that local businesses in Colorado Springs can compete with large franchises across the country when they have the right digital strategy,” Hodgdon said.
The campaign with Wam Bam Handyman focused on boosting search visibility, generating customer leads and positioning the company as a leading home services provider in the region. The company, founded by Navy veteran Jeff Robinson, has received more than 70 five-star reviews from local homeowners.
Hodgdon said the nomination is a meaningful milestone. “I have been fortunate to win national and international awards in my career, but this one feels different. To do it with a local client I respect so much makes it especially meaningful,” he said.
The U.S. Search Awards are regarded as one of the most prestigious honors in digital marketing. Entries are judged on strategy, execution, innovation and measurable results by a panel of industry experts. Winners will be announced later this month.
