Overview

Ignite Visibility was founded in 2013 by John Lincoln in San Diego and now operates from offices in San Diego, Irvine, Orlando, and New York with a team the agency reports at 340 people, internally referred to as “Igniters.” The business was acquired by Mountaingate Capital and has merged with Integrated Digital Strategies (IDS) to expand its national-to-local capabilities. The agency works primarily with multi-location, franchise, and enterprise brands across more than 250 active client engagements, including Batteries Plus, Driven Brands, Inspire Brands, Jazzercise, Experian, Dun & Bradstreet, DoorDash, and HBO. Public partner credentials include top 1% Google Premier Partner status, Meta Premium Partner, and TikTok Premium Partner, alongside six consecutive years on the Inc. 5000 list.

Services

SEO is the agency’s original specialism and is organized across three sub-practices: traditional SEO, Local SEO for multi-location and franchise brands, and AI SEO (also called Generative Engine Optimization) for surfacing inside ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Gemini. Meta Ads sits inside the Paid Media group and benefits from Meta Premium Partner status, with the team running full-funnel Facebook and Instagram campaigns paired with in-house creative production rather than handing creative back to the client. Conversion rate optimization is delivered as its own service line under Owned Media, covering on-site experimentation, landing page builds, funnel restructuring, and audit work for ecommerce stores looking to extract more revenue from existing traffic before scaling acquisition.

Industries

Electronics and tech retail is represented through long-running work with Batteries Plus, a multi-location electronics and battery retailer, and through technology and SaaS clients on the B2B side. Sporting goods and fitness appears through Jazzercise and other fitness-led franchise systems, paired with the agency’s national-to-local playbook for brands that sell both gear and in-person experiences. Home and garden ties into the broader Home Services vertical the agency names directly on its industries page, with relevant ecommerce work for brands that combine product sales with local installation or franchise service networks.

FAQ

What size of ecommerce brand is Ignite Visibility a fit for?
The agency is built around mid-market and enterprise advertisers, with a particular strength in multi-location, franchise, and brands operating at a national-to-local level. Smaller boutique DTC stores are not the typical fit, while ecommerce businesses with $50,000+ monthly media budgets or those running both online and physical retail tend to align well.

The agency markets itself as flexible, without long-term contracts, hidden fees, or client asset ownership clauses. Most published case studies cover multi-year relationships but the renewal is positioned as a rolling decision.
Ignite has launched an AI SEO service designed for visibility inside generative AI engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. The CEO is a long-running columnist for Search Engine Land and Search Engine Journal, and the agency produced the documentary SEO: The Movie, both of which inform how the AI search offering is structured against more traditional SEO programs.
