Company
Positional
A modern platform for content marketing & SEO
We build a platform that connects the entire inbound marketing and SEO workflow, from keyword research through to analytics and tracking the user actions that generate actual business revenue. It helps teams start, grow, and scale their SEO and content marketing efforts efficiently by focusing on results, not vanity metrics.
Our team is split between Charleston, SC and Hoboken, NJ. After YC, we would remain based between these locations since our team is distributed.
We chose these locations because that's where the founding team is based. Both cities provide access to talent and let us work closely while growing the product.
