Nomination of Gagelmans, the Founder of Lex Digital, the Belgium-based SEO agency, marks the first time a Belgian individual has been nominated for the European Agency Awards.
Belgium, 10th Jul 2026 — Lex Digital, the Belgium-based SEO agency, today announced that Bart Gagelmans, its Founder, has been nominated as Operations Professional of the Year by the European Agency Awards. The nomination marks the first time a Belgian individual has been nominated for the European Agency Awards. It is also the first time an SEO agency from Antwerp has been acknowledged in this way.
“It’s a great honor to be nominated,” said Gagelmans. “The recognition is a validation of the entire team’s work. Everyone has worked hard to achieve excellence in a lean agency environment, and I am very proud of what we have been able to achieve.”
In particular, Gagelmans works closely with Legal Expert Erik Van Steenkiste and Tech Expert Vincent Asscher, a software developer and Senior React Native Developer. Together, they are supporting the implementation of AI into operations. Gagelmans drives the operational vision, which means identifying inefficiencies, translating workflows into repeatable systems, and deciding where AI can create real value.
As Founder, Gagelmans is responsible not only for SEO strategy and client delivery, but also for operational design and process improvement across the business. He is known for his hands-on approach to building systems that allow the company to scale intelligently without adding unnecessary complexity.
Lex Digital started out as a specialist in search engine optimization (SEO) for law firms. The agency has since expanded to cover additional sectors. Lex Digital now also offers an extensive portfolio of services for AI SEO, which is also known as generative engine optimization (GEO). As Gagelmans explained, “We help companies become more visible in Google, AI search platforms and other online discovery channels. Our focus is not only on classic SEO, but also on the way search is changing through AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.”
AI search services are critical today because, as Gagelmans put it, “More and more people are no longer only searching through traditional search engines. They ask questions to AI platforms, compare companies differently and expect immediate, useful answers. We are enabling our clients to prepare for this shift.”
Lex Digital was previously recognised in the Benelux Enterprise Awards 2025 as “Best Legal Sector Marketing Specialists – Belgium.” This award confirmed Lex Digital’s strong expertise in helping law firms and other knowledge-driven businesses improve their online presence.
