UpCity

Founded as DIYSEO in 2009, UpCity is passionate about helping companies succeed in optimizing their digital presence. We offer Pathway™, a cost-effective platform for small businesses to get free traffic from the Web, and convert that traffic to revenue. While Pathway™ helps business owners discover and implement digital strategies, it also leverages game mechanics and step-by-step progression to create an engaging way to turn novices into online marketing experts. Pathway™ is available as either a self-directed DIY (Do-It-Yourself) solution, or as a full-service DIFM (Do-It-For-Me) alternative for companies that need more assistance. UpCity also makes the Pathway™ platform available to reseller channel partners seeking a white-label, turnkey solution to monetize and educate their SMB customers
