our story

Once upon a time in a basement not so far away…

Boostability was founded in 2009 on a very simple premise: SEO should be affordable and accessible for everyone, not just big companies with a substantial cash flow.

We’re basically the modern day tech version of Robin Hood. (Just without the tights.)
