A structured Knowledge Graph of business facts underpins listings, reviews, site search, and AI-visibility monitoring across search engines and AI answer platforms. Revenue comes mostly from subscription software sold to enterprise, mid-size, and small-business customers directly and through resellers, with a client-engagement suite for regulated industries such as financial services and insurance added through acquisition.
Founded in 2006 in New York, the company began as a pay-per-call lead-generation business, then pivoted to syncing business location data across maps, search engines, and directories — the origin of its structured Knowledge Graph.
Following a change in chief executive, the platform was repositioned around visibility in AI-generated answers, tracking how brand information appears across AI models and traditional search. Headquartered in New York, it has also expanded internationally.
Subscription software drives most revenue, sold directly and through resellers to businesses of varying size. An acquired client-engagement suite extended the platform into regulated industries such as financial services and insurance, while the core listings business depends on continued data access from external search and map publishers.
