The Local Pages platform delivers customized, responsive web pages with local information using customers’ URL structure ensuring a consistent user experience across all devices, driving best-practice Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and conversion.

“Placeable is a leading-edge provider of critical technology in today’s hyper-competitive, digital marketing, and SEO solution marketplace,” said Davin Cushman, Ignite’s Chief Executive Officer. “The addition of Placeable’s SaaS-based solutions strengthens our marketing analytics business embodied in our Thinkvine® solution, which provides decision support to optimize our customers’ marketing investments. Current Thinkvine customers and our new Placeable customers joining the Ignite family will be excited to explore these complementary products now available to them through our unique Ignite Prime program. Ignite Prime is an amazing program which provides free enterprise software including standard technical support, and with the Placeable acquisition we have now strengthened a CMO’s tool set to help drive their business.”
