Company mission

To enable every marketer to be brilliant at Local SEO.

Our take

While search engine optimisation (SEO) is essential for getting a business's name out there, the local aspect is often overlooked. However, for brick and mortar stores and businesses working in the community it's locals who will be driving your sales, reviewing your products and even marketing via word of mouth.

BrightLocal offers a local SEO, citations and review management platform. This allows businesses to identify, respond to and draw actionable insights from web listings, and to optimise their rankings in search indexes such as Google My Business. It's not alone in this space - Moz Local and SEMRush also provide local SEO tools, but they lack the sheer range of reporting and auditing tools available to BrightLocal users.

These advantages have led to BrightLocal building an impressive customer base of more than 10,000 brands including enterprises such as Ikea, Krispy Kreme and Valvoline. Going forward BrightLocal will continue to develop its platform and expand its marketing footprint. With a commanding market lead, BrightLocal is well poised for future success
