Bizible is a marketing analytics company based in Seattle that specializes in tracking and addressing advertising inefficiencies in local and offline businesses.[1][2] Bizible is a 2012 graduate of the TechStars startup incubator program, and is best known for providing businesses with the ability to track and estimate the amount of revenue created by specific keywords and advertising/marketing efforts.[1] Aaron Bird is the company’s current CEO.[3][4]

History

Bizible was created in 2011 by Aaron Bird and current CTO Peter Thompson, both former members of Microsoft’s Bing Advertising Group.[3][1][5][6][7] In 2012, the company was accepted into the TechStars startup incubator program, and graduated later that year.[1]

In November 2012, Bizible received $1.7 million through a joint investment from Madrona Venture Group and MHS Capital, bringing total investment in the company to just over $2 million.[5][1] Len Jordan, an investor with Madrona Venture Group, currently serves on Bizible’s Board of Directors.[1]

Product

Bizible’s focus is on local businesses and service providers that utilize online advertising but have no way of tracking or estimating the effectiveness of their advertising efforts.[3] The company analyzes and estimates revenue generation from specific marketing efforts, review sites, search engines, social media sites, and search terms.[2][5] Bizible states that it can track revenue creation to the point where the return-per-dollar of single keywords or search terms can be calculated. (PRW)[1]

The platform developed by Bizible makes it possible for offline businesses to track their users from the time they first notice an advertising measure, to their offline contact with the business, and through to their purchase.[8] Bizable’s clients can identify where advertising money is being spent effectively and where it is being wasted, and they can track which advertising measures are effective once the customer is physically present.[1]

Bizible offers an application called Bizible Marketing Analytics.[9] This application is aimed at marketing and sales teams, and reports actual dollars created from advertising.[9] The platform can integrate data from Google Adwords with Salesforce, a customer relationship management (CRM) software.[10] Bizible also releases studies and analyses of keyword effectiveness. These are reviewed by journals and industry professionals, and demonstrate Bizible’s research methodology and approach to marketing efficiency analysis.[11]
