Gannett Selects Uberall as its Global-Local Presence Management Solution
September 29 2020 - 9:00AM
Uberall, Inc. has been selected by Gannett Co., Inc. and its
digital marketing subsidiary ReachLocal to become their premier
provider of presence management solutions. Gannett is the largest
media publisher in the U.S., operating more than 250 local media
brands, USA TODAY and Newsquest in the U.K., and digital marketing
services companies serving clients around the world.
As part of the agreement, Uberall will acquire
Gannett’s SweetIQ subsidiary. Providing an array of local digital
marketing services, the SweetIQ team will join Uberall and become
part of a new Montreal hub, the company’s seventh location outside
its Berlin headquarters.
“We’re thrilled that Gannett selected our ‘Near
Me’ Brand Experience platform as their presence management
solution,” said Florian Hübner, co-founder and CEO of Uberall. “We
also want to welcome SweetIQ’s staff to Uberall and look forward to
providing even better service and support to our North American
partners going forward.”
More than 90% of internet users conduct online
searches for local business information and a majority of those are
high-intent, high converting lookups. Because of COVID-19,
consumers are even more reliant on the internet as the first point
of contact with local businesses, whether large enterprises or
independent shops and restaurants. Being found, engaging and
converting local customers on search engines, directories, mobile
apps and key vertical sites is paramount in the Age of Near Me.
“In the online-offline economy, marketers of all
sizes must create compelling ‘Near Me’ brand experiences,” said
Norman Rohr, SVP of Marketing for Uberall. “That includes optimized
Google My Business listings, social media presence management,
directory listings, reputation management and local ads.”
Uberall data shows that enterprises and small
businesses which actively manage their online reputations and
business listings see high double-digit growth in search
impressions, calls, map views and website clicks.
