About SearchMonster.org

SearchMonster.org was founded in 2004 with one clear mission: To help small businesses around the world get discovered, build credibility, and generate real traffic and leads.

At a time when most online directories were nothing more than static lists, SearchMonster helped pioneer the concept of the individual business profile page — giving every business its own searchable, indexable digital storefront. Today, that model is used across virtually every major directory and marketplace on the internet.

For over two decades, SearchMonster has helped over 100,000 businesses worldwide establish their online presence and compete in an increasingly digital marketplace.
