A touchstone of company culture, we share a common passion to innovate for growth, for the success of our brand and to nurture our intellectual property. Innovation fuels the engines of Searchmetrics growth.
Finding the balance between work and life isn't always easy. We work hard to make sure that Searchmetrics team members are on the right career track for the individual and their family.
Our diverse teams work together across functions and regions to drive creative problem solving and innovation in everything from data science to marketing, to sales to services and back again.
Win Without Guesswork is our mantra for employees and customers.
Although the company was founded in 2005, the idea for Searchmetrics originated in 2001 as founder and CTO Marcus Tober finished his diploma thesis in computer science. At the same time, Marcus also worked for a large online price-comparison website—a very competitive industry. Saving time through automation and using data to gain an advantage over competitors was absolutely key.
Marcus focused on automating SEO tasks like crawling competitors, backlink analysis, rank tracking and content optimization — manual tasks that detracted from time he could spend on more creative analysis. That early experience with SEO became the driving force behind Searchmetrics.
