Optify FAQs

What is Optify?

Optify is the leading innovator and award winning provider of SaaS-based digital marketing software for digital marketing agencies and B2B marketing professionals. Optify was founded in 2008 and released the first version of its online software suite in March 2009. With roots in SEO, the Optify application has quickly evolved to reflect the changing face of the digital marketing world and transitioned into a full Digital Marketing Software Suite. In October 2012, Optify introduced Optify Connect, a unique technology that connects a lead with its entire visit history and email activity.

Is Optify for me?

Optify is designed for the B2B Marketing Athlete. Whether you work for a B2B company or a Digital Marketing Agency, if your job is to drive high quality leads to a sales team, then Optify is certainly for you.

Optify has three editions for B2B marketers and two editions for Digital Marketing Agencies. The Editions vary on features and usage levels and are designed to provide you with the set of features needed to meet your goals in the most cost effective way.

How much does Optify cost?

Optify is a SaaS (software as a service) solution and therefore operates on a monthly subscription model. The price is different for each Edition and you can find the full prices on our pricing page. Unlike other SaaS companies that offer inbound marketing and marketing automation solutions, Optify doesn’t require an annual contract. However, if you commit to a full year with Optify you can benefit from our upfront payment discounts and look forward to a full year of high-quality leads.

What Optify Edition should I use?

If you already have a developed marketing program, you’re getting good traffic to your website and you are looking to optimize your efforts, drive more high-quality leads to your sales team and measure ALL your marketing campaigns in one place, then we recommend using Optify Professional Edition. If you are just starting, want to build your programs and start driving more traffic from Inbound sources, we recommend Optify Express Edition. If you are a professional marketer in a pretty big company and want to utilize our unique data via our API, you will receive the most benefit from Optify’s Premium Edition.

If you are a Digital Marketing Agency, we recommend Agency Professional Edition (15 sites). But if you are a little bigger and need powerful software to standardize your process, streamline your service delivery and grow you business, then we recommend Optify’s Agency Unlimited Edition.

Does it work?

On average, our customers see a 394% increase in visits and 81% increase in leads within 4 months of starting to use Optify. These improvements are not just due to Optify, they are the result of the work that Optify enables and supports. Optify gives you the insight and actionable advice to identify and easily accelerate what is working for you and eliminate what is not.

What is Optify Connect?

Optify Connect is Optify patented technology that allows us to give you a full picture of every lead in your database. In technical terms, Optify Connect allows us to connect a browsing device with a person, which means that from that point on, all visits (including all previous visits and anonymous visits from that browsing device) and all the data collected about that browsing device and person will be combined and presented to you. This information is then enhanced by firmographic data (information about the company) as well as social connections of that lead using LinkedIn. Optify Connect allows you to uncover more information and data about your marketing programs and deliver higher quality leads to your sales team. This capability is unique to Optify and will amaze your sales and marketing team members.
