Locafy Acquires Jimmy Kelley Digital
06 September 2022 - 10:00PM
Locafy Limited (Nasdaq: LCFY, LCFYW)
(“Locafy” or “the Company”), a globally recognized
software-as-a-service technology company specializing in local
search engine marketing, announced today that it has acquired Jimmy
Kelley Digital, a marketing firm led by SEO and e-commerce
specialist Jimmy Kelley.
In conjunction with the acquisition, Kelley will join Locafy as
its new Global Head of Search Technology, effective immediately.
Kelley is a highly regarded SEO traffic expert who specializes in
organic search innovation on several data platforms. An industry
thought leader, Kelley brings to Locafy over 20 years of experience
in highly competitive internet markets, including eight years spent
developing e-commerce marketing strategies.
Jimmy Kelley Digital, headquartered in Austin, TX, has a proven
track record of positive impact for its clients. Based on
historical performance across many product categories, Jimmy Kelley
Digital’s technology typically produces between 20% - 60% in
revenue increases for e-commerce clients after its first month of
implementation. With this acquisition, Locafy extends more deeply
into the e-commerce SEO space, and expects to both increase the
Company’s client base and revenue opportunities moving forward. In
addition to extending Locafy’s scale as a multi-national brand SEO,
Kelley’s unique skill set and technology is expected to have an
immediate impact on the deployed Locafy client base.
“As we strive to revolutionize local search, top-tier talent and
technology are crucial to our strategy,” said Locafy Founder and
CEO Gavin Burnett. “Jimmy is a pioneer in our industry, having
helped lay the foundation for some of the most widely adopted
practices within algorithmic search engine optimization. We are
confident that his broad knowledge of strategic enterprise
management will be useful as we continue to enable our clients to
more quickly connect with their customers. We look forward to
having Jimmy on board to help us execute on our growth strategy
moving forward.”
“Locafy is just scratching the surface of its growth potential,”
said Kelley. “I’ve gotten to work alongside Gavin and the Locafy
team over the past few years and have seen first-hand their
commitment to innovation and growth. As SEO and SEM technology
continue to advance, large players in the e-commerce marketing
industry are placing an increased emphasis on local search.
Combined with my technologies, Locafy’s scale and cutting-edge
solutions can therefore provide increased value for a widening
range of clients. I believe that Locafy is poised to take advantage
of a vast market opportunity, and I’m excited to blend my expertise
into the team in the coming months.”
