Locafy Introduces Localizer, a Powerful Solution to Boost Local Search Visibility and Drive Partner-Led Growth
February 13 2025 - 8:00AM
Locafy Limited (Nasdaq: LCFY, LCFYW)
(“Locafy” or the “Company”), a globally recognized leader
in location based digital marketing solutions, with market leading
SEO capabilities, today announced the launch of Localizer, a
powerful solution designed to help businesses improve their online
visibility and rank higher in local search results.
With 46% of Google searches seeking local products and services,
businesses absent from Page 1 search results miss substantial
revenue opportunities. While traditional SEO approaches demand
significant time and resources, Localizer provides an innovative,
scalable solution to enhance local search visibility—at a fraction
of the time and cost.
“The majority of organic traffic to local businesses websites
comes through Google’s Local Pack or via organic search results –
our Localizer product delivers local search prominence and
visibility in both,” said Locafy CEO Gavin
Burnett.
Transition to a Partner-Led ModelAs part of
Locafy’s broader strategic shift, the Company is transitioning its
resellers into its partner program “Partners,” where partners
manage the client relationship. At the same time, Locafy oversees
technology service delivery and maintains the billing relationship.
This model fosters a more scalable approach while empowering
partners to grow their businesses with Locafy’s innovative
solutions without having to worry about service delivery.
Additionally, key salespeople of the Company have transitioned
from salaried positions to partners, further reducing fixed costs
while creating a direct incentive to drive revenue. This shift has
already begun yielding results, with Locafy's new partners
generating over $35,000 in new monthly recurring revenue and a
strong pipeline of additional opportunities. At the same time, cost
reductions in direct sales staff of more than $25,000 per month
will come into full effect in the June quarter.
Localizer: A Smarter Approach to Local
SEOLocafy's Localizer is a turnkey local SEO solution that
accelerates businesses' search rankings by optimizing their
presence across multiple digital touchpoints. The four-step
approach includes:
- Syndicating
Business Listings – Distributing consistent, authoritative
business profiles across 120+ directories, apps, maps, and voice
search platforms
- Deploying
Optimized Landing Pages – Creating independent,
high-ranking web pages that target valuable local keywords without
modifying existing business websites
- Enhancing
Google Business Profile Visibility – Optimizing GBP and
applying SEO technology to boost Local Pack rankings, where nearly
44% of mobile search clicks occur
- Publishing
Relevant Articles – Producing high-quality content that
targets key search intent categories to increase brand authority
and organic search prominence
The Localizer product is at the forefront of Partners as Locafy
winds down older product versions, focusing on a standard
location-based digital marketing solution with articles available
as an add-on module. The combination of listings, landing pages and
local pack covers all the search query intent of consumers –
transactional, navigational, commercial and information. Each
component provides the opportunity for online visibility depending
on the search intent of the consumer.
Scalable Solutions for Multi-Location
BusinessesLocafy anticipates strong demand for Localizer,
particularly among larger, multi-location businesses. The platform
provides a comprehensive, cost-efficient digital marketing solution
that can be deployed at scale, helping brands improve their local
search performance while ensuring consistency across multiple
locations.
“With Localizer, we're not only offering a cutting-edge location
based digital marketing solution but also redefining how businesses
engage with digital marketing and SEO through our partner program,
Partners,” added Burnett. “By aligning incentives
and streamlining service delivery, we are positioning Locafy for
accelerated growth while empowering our partners to succeed."
“We’ve only just started with the transition process and we
believe it has yielded great results so far. We aim to get across
all existing resellers by the end of the March quarter and complete
the transition process by then.”
