It started with 3 guys who love SEO
Working at an agency, we set out to find the best tools we could get. We needed something that could keep up with clients from Dell down to Bob’s Pickles, but nothing lived up to our wildest SEO dreams. So we created Nozzle, the rank tracker we couldn’t live without.
This is our density…

I mean, our destiny!

July 2012
At SEO.com, Derek (VP of Tech) and Joe (Lead Developer) are tasked with evaluating any and all rank tracking software.

Nozzle is incorporated with the goal of building the best rank tracking software in the world.
