In a nutshell, the combination of an innovative search implementation and a relentless focus on users that yields business results.
If you get the award, your story will be featured on the Search Superstars website, you'll be included in a Podcast interview of award recipients, and you'll receive a box of Google goodies, among other things. We'll also provide you with a press release and the Google Search Superstar Award site badge that you can use to let others know that your company is an innovator in its field.
The Google team will review story submissions and announce the Awards on an ongoing basis. We will announce the first Award recipients in November 2006.
We will post all relevant success stories to the Search Superstar website, whether or not you win a Search Superstar Award. This site will be linked to from various Google properties and will be promoted via PR and marketing campaigns, giving your company global visibility. We suggest that you run the story past your PR team before submitting it to Google.
