CitySquares was founded in 2005 based on the simple premise that finding local, neighborhood businesses online is really hard and very frustrating. Furthermore, small businesses are being challenged every day to keep up with the Jones’. Until recently, they had very little chance to compete with national advertisers for consumer attention. So, CitySquares provides small, independent businesses an opportunity to reach a qualified, local consumer audience through a search engine optimized profile on it’s highly trafficked, consumer-facing website. CitySquares provides its content to users in a hyper-local context, that is, neighborhoods and other relevant localities. Local businesses are able to take full advantage our search engine optimized information architecture and fully customize and personalize their CitySquares.com advertising campaigns through enhanced business profiles, display advertising, Constant Contact email newsletters, merchant videos from TurnHere, and more. All of this is provided to the customer without complex variable pricing. CitySquares is a privately-funded company with its headquarters in the South End neighborhood of Boston, MA. The company is led by an experienced team and funded by investors who share our vision. Our investments have been lead by eCoast Angel Network, with participation from outside investors including Jonathan Kraft, President of the Kraft Group, and Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and Chairman of HDNet, among others. These individuals bring their specialized expertise to help us develop the business and improve your CitySquares experience.
