Locafy Partners with TransUnion to Add 17 Million US Business Listings to Global Publishing Network
26 September 2023 - 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, today announced a strategic commercial
partnership with TransUnion to publish over 17 million business
listings in Hotfrog.com, a top-20 free online directory which
Locafy acquired in 2016. Through its TruContact™ Digital Search
Business Listings, powered by Neustar® solution, the collaboration
will assist in increasing Locafy’s existing publishing network by
34% to approximately 66 million pages. TransUnion will also work
closely with Locafy to help ensure that data is up-to-date on the
Hotfrog network via API connectivity and is exploring opportunities
to collaborate on new product releases with the Company.
“We’re delighted to forge this path ahead with TransUnion as our
partner,” said Locafy CEO Gavin Burnett. “We believe that this
collaboration further ensures that the information we present on
Hotfrog is up-to-date so consumers are better able to connect with
local businesses. Early trial results with other partners
undertaking proof of concepts have been very encouraging.
Especially with the influence of automated content generation
services, we’re confident that this expanded Hotfrog footprint will
assist in driving strong organic traffic momentum through the
Hotfrog platform and help promote Locafy’s entity-based SEO
products.”
"Our partnership with Locafy exemplifies our commitment to data
excellence,” added TransUnion Senior Product Manager, Joe Lazure.
“We are eager to publish our business profiles on Hotfrog to ensure
that users have access to the highest quality information. Looking
ahead, we’re also confident in the potential for new product
releases at scale, and believe that our quality business data will
boost Hotfrog’s platform moving forward.”
How it WorksLocafy’s technology uses the
information included in Hotfrog’s database to repurpose existing
profiles and automatically create new landing pages that are
optimized for SEO performance. Then, Locafy software adds quality
content to the landing pages by automatically adding the business’
Google Business Profile content and generative AI-based content
when desired. The result is a powerful local website generated
programmatically through Locafy’s platform. Several Locafy partners
connected to Hotfrog’s publishing API are now piloting Locafy’s
Proximity Networks and Local Pages solutions with significant
success.
Locafy continually seeks opportunities to add quality content to
its network of publishing assets, to scale the automated production
of its local SEO products. For more information, please visit
