We’re scientists. We don’t guess, we look for evidence.

Search Laboratory was founded in 2005 by Ian Harris, a technologist frustrated by the lack of evidence supporting his company’s marketing decisions.

 

A mathematician by training, Ian knew that data and logic were the best tools for optimising digital marketing campaigns, and for outperforming the competition. This approach persists in everything we do today, led by our analytics and data science team.

The only marketing technology stack you’ll ever need

We have deep expertise in the best platform technologies, including the Google Marketing Platform, and we are one of a select few sales partners for Google Analytics 360, the enterprise version of GA.

 

We constantly review the market for the best and latest third-party tools, including competitor research tools like Searchmetrics, and we also have our own proprietary suite of productivity, management and research tools, available exclusively to our clients.
