Mobiquity Technologies, a leading provider of next-generation data intelligence and advertising technology solutions, announces new enhancements to its proprietary ElecTech and ElecAlytics platforms, utilizing heuristic models and US districting data to facilitate superior ad curation.
Driven by the increasingly detailed understanding of user behavior and preferences, Mobiquity Technologies is further evolving digital advertising as it relates to US politics. The new features combine districting data with a myriad of factors such as location, performance metrics, contextual relevance, and sentiment analysis. This integration enables Mobiquity’s AI engines to create hyper-segmented and personalized advertisements to better resonate with users on a fundamental level.
"We are aiming to connect with consumers and voters in a more meaningful way," says Dean Julia, CEO of Mobiquity Technologies. "The enhancements to ElecTech and ElecAlytics allows us to curate ads that not only focus on consumer and voter interests but also tap into their deeply held values and issues that matter the most to them."
With the introduction of heuristic data modeling into the mix, the ability to understand, predict, and influence consumer behavior becomes more refined. The AI engines of ElecTech and ElecAlytics can now leverage patterns and trends derived from historical data, offering businesses an opportunity to connect with their prospective customers more effectively.
The decision to integrate districting data highlights Mobiquity's commitment to optimizing localized targeting. By understanding the geographic and demographic intricacies of different districts, advertisements can be tailored to resonate more deeply with audiences, achieving more successful campaigns and driving stronger results.

Fixably, the global after-sales software provider, has appointed Harry Forsman as Vice-President of Recommerce.
Harry brings years of experience in aftersales, specifically in scaling re-commerce operations. Harry led commercial operations and partnerships for mResell before joining Fixably. His tenure oversaw the global re-commerce company, with operations in 17 markets, doubling its revenue and transforming its operations through a focus on data.
Fixably had earlier this month announced $10 million in funding and the launch of Fixably Refurb, software aimed at helping re-commerce businesses boost profitability. The funding round included global investors: 468 Capital, Cusp Capital, icebreaker.vc, and Business Finland.
By enabling data-driven re-commerce operations — one of Harry’s strengths, Fixably Refurb is moving billions of dollars worth of transactions away from spreadsheets, simple in-house solutions, or poorly-configured ERP systems.
This appointment follows another recent major addition to Fixably’s executive management team as the company focuses on new market & product expansion, with Okko Vainiomaki having joined Fixably as Vice President of Sales late last year.
Okko brings 12+ years of experience scaling sales teams globally at leading high-growth software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies such as Meltwater, Hootsuite, and Supermetrics.
Fixably has been supporting aftersales businesses since 2015, especially Apple Authorized Service Providers. Fixably Repair, the company's first SaaS product, is a repair workflow management solution that enables repair service providers to maximize profitability through efficiency gains, process automation and actionable data.
The solution is used in 30+ countries across North America, Europe, and Australia.
Fixably Refurb expands the company’s ability to serve the broader aftersales market, including the existing service capacity of the Fixably Repair network in over 35 countries, supported by Fixably's diverse international team representing 20 different nationalities.

Locafy Limited , a globally recognized software-as-a-service technology company specializing in local search engine marketing, announced today that it has exercised an option from the August 2022 acquisition of Jimmy Kelley Digital to acquire additional SEO technology.
Citation Boost technologies will work in parallel with Locafy’s existing software suite to increase the online prominence of “local citations,” which are typically found as directory listings. In addition to its portfolio of local search technology solutions, Locafy also owns several online directories and has existing commercial agreements with several of the world’s largest citation management companies. These citation management companies collectively manage millions of business listings for their customers, many of which are published on Locafy’s online properties via Locafy’s Publishing API.
Locafy’s recently released “Trinity” platform included an upgrade to Locafy’s Publishing API, which now enables citation management companies to repurpose or extend the utility of their data to produce “entity-based” Local Pages through automation. Locafy’s Local Pages also contain all of Locafy’s key technology benefits, including their focus on local keyword search rankings and their scalability. As of today, Locafy publishes more than 3.5 million listings via the Publishing API from approximately 20 citation management companies across more than a dozen markets.
“From when we first acquired Jimmy Kelley Digital in 2022, we have been keen to add this Citation Boost solution to our technology stack,” said Locafy CEO Gavin Burnett. “We believe that in an age where content is increasingly AI-generated, it is crucial for traditional business listings to reclaim their true value. Citation Boost can help major search engines be more confident that business listing content represents real businesses, particularly if this content is published via reputable citation management companies and online directories.
“We are confident that we have a promising market opportunity with this solution,” Mr. Burnett continued. “With millions of listings from our citation management partners already plugged into our technology platform, our partners are able to present their clients with a pre-built and market-ready Local Pages solution, populated with content derived from that client’s individual data. When Citation Boost is incorporated into Local Pages, the combined solution can help make end user business citations and websites more prominent in search for their targeted keywords and locations. We believe that this is an important win for all parties involved.”
Locafy’s Citation Boost and Local Pages solutions are progressing through trials with existing partners, so far displaying what the Company believes to be excellent results. Locafy expects to make this solution more widely available by the end of the 2023 September quarter, or Locafy’s fiscal Q1 2024.
