Our Story

Social Places was founded in 2015, initially starting as a digital marketing agency. Our founders quickly identified a gap in the market for software that could perform local marketing functions at scale for franchise brands, and soon after, the start of something special began.

Nine years later in 2024, our mission remains clear and ambitious: to redefine how franchises and multi-location brands connect with local communities through innovative tech solutions.

At the heart of our approach is a dynamic and user-friendly dashboard, designed to bridge the digital and physical gap for businesses and customers alike, through innovative product suites and workflows spanning across listings, reputation, social, ads and bookings

Social Places’ passion and commitment to innovation is evident in our 97% renewal rate with over 23,000 locations across 40 countries. Our software allows our customers to focus on driving meaningful interactions with their customers, boost operational efficiencies, and enhance their marketing efforts at a local level.

At Social Places, we bring together global technology and local businesses.

A leading local marketing agency for companies with multiple locations
