About
Leading independent search intelligence platform outside of major search engines, with one of the largest open-web search data assets globally
Captify is a global search intelligence company that harnesses the power of on-site search data from millions of websites across the open web to deliver rich consumer intent signals. Unlike traditional search platforms limited to engine-level data, Captify processes billions of search events daily from its publisher network, enabling brands and agencies to understand what consumers are actively searching for beyond Google and Bing. This proprietary data asset powers audience targeting, content intelligence, and real-time activation across programmatic channels. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in London, Captify has grown into one of the largest holders of search data outside of the major search engines. The company serves global brands, agencies, and media owners by translating search intent into high-performance advertising audiences. Its platform connects search behavior to programmatic buying, enabling advertisers to reach consumers at the moment of peak intent across display, video, and connected TV environments. Captify occupies a distinctive niche in the AdTech ecosystem as a privacy-conscious alternative to walled garden search data. As third-party cookies deprecate and identity resolution becomes more complex, Captify's contextual and intent-based approach positions it as a critical partner for brands seeking cookieless targeting solutions. The company has raised significant venture funding and operates across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, working with major holding companies and Fortune 500 brands.
