Our Story

We didn't set out to create a web application, we just wanted to find a better way of doing things.

NLYZR was originally born in 2009 as an internal process for optimizing our clients websites. Search engine optimization was becoming an increasingly important part of our agency and we wanted to streamline the process as much as possible. Before we knew it we were using NLYZR to optimize websites for Colliers International, WSPA, ACRF and many more. The good news was that it worked extremely well and led to more clients. The bad news is that search engine optimization can be a tedious and time consuming process. We needed to make it faster and easier.

By mid-2010 we had a fully automated version of NLYZR up and running. Anyone was free to use our Web NLYZR while we continued to use and improve our Page NLYZR internally. We used NLYZR to launch and optimize a major new website for Promax in North America with stunning results. Competing against tech giants like CAS, SAP and Oracle, Promax rapidly rose to the top of search results and won significant new business. It was time to find out how far we could take NLYZR.

We decided to keep improving and developing NLYZR in order to release it as a fully-fledged web application that anyone could use. Our overriding principle was to keep it simple, clear and easy-to-use. We wanted to give business owners and marketers the information they really need to compete successfully online, even if they weren't web geeks themselves.

"We recently started using NLYZR for one of our digital clients, and the impact of the NLYZR recommendations was immediate. We chose a keyword the client was currently not ranking in, and implemented part of the recommendations made by the tool. In three weeks, the client’s site appeared on the first page of Google search on the chosen keyword. The client was completely blown away by the result, and by going through the report in detail, they finally started understanding what SEO was all about. NLYZR is a truly radical product – its ruthless simplicity makes a complicated SEO process into a simple, task based and actionable plan. We are now ready to roll NLYZR out for other clients."
