About Us | PromoRepublic

We innovate to empower brands to win local customers

PromoRepublic is helping brick-and-mortar companies transform their buyers’ experiences to keep pace with our new post-pandemic reality. The number of people doing local searches weekly doubled from 2019 to 2021. Additionally, more consumers use search and social media to evaluate local businesses, so ratings and reviews significantly impact their buying decisions.

Our mission is to empower brands for local success by arming them with intelligent technology. PromoRepublic’s proprietary data analytics and easy-to-use tools for local marketing help businesses track online visibility and drive engagement in top search and social media platforms, build a consistent brand presence, develop an outstanding online reputation – everything they need to be found and chosen online.
