The Past, Present & Future
The Past: Founded in 2013 by David Federhen and Florian Hübner, two longtime friends with a vision to improve customer experience across the online and offline worlds, they created a platform that connected companies with local customers in the digital-first moment.
The Present: We're on a mission to put every single business on the map, and believe every business deserves success, regardless of size or location. Simply put, our location marketing platform exists to help our customers get found online and connect with customers through search, discovery, engagement and conversion.
The Future: We're a growing company with a bright future. We have established ourselves as a rising thought leader through the introduction of Location Performance Optimization (LPO). Our AI strategy is gaining momentum and it's setting us apart in the market. Our agentic AI 'UB-I' moves us from features and functions to business outcomes. UB-I will work 24/7 to optimize location performance, driving engagement, visibility and, most importantly, measurable results. As AI changes search far beyond traditional SEO results, we are at the forefront of enabling our customers to reach theirs in this new era. We have a passionate and diverse team, a comprehensive, intuitive platform and a clear vision for the future. We're looking for talented, passionate people, with an AI-first mindset, (like you 👋) to join us on our journey.
