What Ignite Visibility does

Ignite Visibility is a full-service digital marketing agency founded in 2013 in San Diego, California, that now operates as a 100% remote-first organization with more than 340 employees and four U.S. offices (San Diego, Irvine, Orlando, New York). The firm delivers an integrated suite of services spanning earned media (SEO, Local SEO, AI SEO / Generative Engine Optimization, Digital PR, influencer marketing, organic social), paid media (PPC, paid social, display, retargeting, programmatic, affiliate), and owned media (content marketing, creative and branding, website development, email and SMS marketing, lifecycle marketing, conversion rate optimization, video production, and reporting/analytics). It is differentiated by elite platform partner status (Top 1% Google Premier Partner, Meta Premium Partner, TikTok Premium Partner) and by specialization in multi-location and franchise businesses, with named enterprise clients including Dun & Bradstreet, Experian, Driven Brands, Inspire Brands, Batteries Plus, Wawanesa, Jazzercise, and Starpoint Brands across verticals such as healthcare, dental, financial services, home services, and automotive.

The company makes money primarily through monthly retainer-based agency engagements priced in three tiers: small business at roughly $2,500-$10,000 per month, mid-market at $10,000-$20,000 per month, and enterprise at $20,000-$50,000+ per month, with no long-term contract requirements disclosed. Revenue mix leans toward earned, paid, and owned media professional services supplemented by two acquired platforms: Rallio, an AI-powered social media and reputation management platform for franchise and multi-location businesses that has processed over 10 billion tokens through OpenAI, and EverConnect, a marketing technology services platform for lead generation, SEO, website development, and directory listings in home services and healthcare.

In February 2023, Ignite Visibility received a strategic equity investment from Denver-based private equity firm Mountaingate Capital, which catalyzed an aggressive buy-and-build strategy resulting in four acquisitions to date (IDS in December 2023, Outliant in April 2025, Rallio in May 2025, and EverConnect from EverCommerce in October 2025, the last financed by Capital Southwest Corporation and Main Street Capital). The company has also invested in go-to-market channels including a referral partner program, content marketing (blog, YouTube, webinars), a 22,000+ subscriber newsletter, conference participation (e.g., FLDC), and broad social media presence, while building proprietary AI SEO / Generative Engine Optimization capabilities as a new billable product line.
