Our history
From a kitchen table in Brighton to locations worldwide, BrightLocal’s journey started with two people and a simple idea: local businesses deserved easier, more affordable ways to get found online.
What started small has grown into a global team supporting thousands of businesses, but our focus hasn’t changed. We’re still here to remove complexity, share clarity, and help local businesses thrive and grow.
2009 — Founded in the UK as a local SEO agency with a simple mission: create the most positive work experience possible
2010-12 — Transitioned to software, launching our first tools for audits, rank tracking, and citation management
2014 — Reached $1M in revenue as demand for local SEO rapidly grew
2018-22 — Scaled to $10M revenue and 200+ employees globally, and launched Local Seach Grid and BrightLocal Academy
2023 — Passed $15M revenue and introduced Active Sync to simplify listings management
2025 — Reached $20M revenue and launched fully managed Local SEO Services
2026 — Launching Al intelligence and expanding our services as we evolve into an insight-to-impact platform for local growth
