BrainZ Digital, the AI-first SEO and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) agency headquartered in London, has won the Best Use of AI category at the UK Digital Excellence Awards 2026.
The win recognises the agency’s work delivering measurable, AI-driven SEO results for its clients, and cements BrainZ Digital’s position as one of the UK’s most forward-thinking digital agencies.
The UK Digital Excellence Awards celebrate standout achievement across the digital marketing industry. Competing against agencies from across the country, BrainZ Digital was recognised for the depth and commercial effectiveness of its AI integration, spanning campaign strategy, content production, keyword research, and its emerging GEO practice, which optimises brands for visibility inside large language models and AI-powered search.
Liraz Postan, Founder and Director of BrainZ Digital, said: “Winning Best Use of AI is a big deal for us, but not because we built something flashy. It’s because our team has spent years figuring out how AI actually makes SEO better for clients, and this award says that work has been noticed. We’re not using AI to replace thinking. We’re using it to do more of the thinking
that matters.”
BrainZ Digital works with B2B SaaS and technology brands, with a client roster that includes Elementor, Yotpo, Melio, and Hulken. The agency’s AI-first approach covers traditional SEO alongside GEO, a discipline that optimises content for retrieval and citation by AI systems including ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. The agency also received three additional shortlist
nominations at the Awards, including Standout SEO Agency of the Year and three categories connected to its work with Hulken.
The award arrives at a period of significant momentum for BrainZ Digital. Liraz Postan recently delivered the keynote at The Raleigh Lecture 2026 at Drapers’ Hall, speaking on ethical AI and career pathways in the digital economy. She is also set to speak at the SEO Croatia Summit, and BrainZ Digital was nominated at the UK Culture Awards for Best Agency to Work For.
“We built this agency to prove that AI and good work are not in tension,” Postan added. “The Brainiacs on our team are better strategists, better writers, and better analysts because of the tools they use. This win belongs to them.”
BrainZ Digital is an AI-first SEO and GEO agency based in London, founded in 2019. The agency works with B2B SaaS and technology brands, helping them build organic search visibility and optimise their presence across AI-powered discovery channels. www.brainz.digital
