If you’ve been in the content, SEO, or digital marketing world for a while, you’ve probably used — or at least heard of — tools like Squirrly SEO, Squirrly Social, WP Ghost, Education Cloud PLUS, or the recent Next Level Marketing AI platform.
What most people don’t know is that all of these come from the same place.
That place is now called AISQ — the evolution of the Squirrly Company (registered in London in 2012, company number 08198658), which quietly spent the last decade building one of the most advanced ecosystems of AI-driven marketing technology in the world.
Today, AISQ (sometimes still called AISQ | Squirrly, to help our many clients understand the re-brand) serves over 25,000 businesses who pay for access to our software products, deploys 13+ software products, and reaches entrepreneurs in more than 90 countries. It’s also a media magnet: Mashable, TechCrunch, Forbes, Entrepreneur, PC Mag, Yahoo News — the list of press coverage goes on and on.
But behind the buzz is a story of consistent innovation, starting long before “AI for marketing” became a trend. We’ve already spent over $5 Million USD creating the innovations you will find on this page.
Now, before we move on: if you want to contact the Squirrly Company, know that it’s the same contact details as when you need to contact AISQ, because it’s the same company. See more details about clients, influencers, our newsroom, press for Squirrly, press for AISQ, big partnerships, awards, investors, our London office (where we started our journey), thousands of reviews across our products, success stories and some of the 29 software products we’ve validated with real money paid by our clients over the years. Since we have such a long history, some of those 29 products became consolidated and added as features is tools made by us.
AISQ’s story didn’t begin with SEO tools.
It started in 2010, when co-founders Florin Muresan and Calin Vingan published research predicting the rise of AI assistants, generative models, and machine-driven interactions on the web. This was well before ChatGPT, LLMs, or “AI Agents” existed in mainstream vocabulary.
Their early work included:
Those seeds would later grow into the micro-services, algorithms, and worker systems powering AISQ’s massive AI infrastructure today.
By the time Squirrly SEO launched in 2012, AISQ (then Squirrly) was already far ahead of the market.
AISQ didn’t just release tools.
They reshaped categories.
Often becoming the first in the world to do so.
Here are the standout breakthroughs that make AISQ a key player in the history of AI marketing.
The world’s first real-time AI-like assistant that guided humans inside the WordPress editor to perfectly optimize content as they wrote.
No one else had done it. Everyone else later tried.
Before “AI writing tools” existed, Squirrly created a hybrid assistant that supported keyword selection, content strategy, and live optimization — all in one place.
Squirrly pioneered a model where heavy functionality ran in the cloud while the plugin acted as a smart interface — years before this became standard.
Squirrly invented the “Author Box Plugin” category in WordPress.
Starbox quickly became #1 in the world.
To crawl massive datasets and process competitive intelligence, AISQ engineered worker-based architectures years before workers became common in JS or PHP frameworks.
Innovations that helped users finally understand real SEO difficulty — not just keyword volume and vague difficulty scores.
Squirrly Social launched with:
This was one of the earliest AI implementations in social media automation.
A breakthrough moment.
For the first time in history, businesses could access personalized SEO consulting generated entirely by AI.
Press coverage exploded.
A revolutionary “do this and you will rank” framework powered by Ranking Vision AI — unmatched by any other SEO tool.
LLM-powered systems that:
This made Squirrly SEO the Two-Year Most Awarded SEO Tool globally.
Way before ChatGPT plugins existed, Squirrly experimented with deep OpenAI integrations for SEO workflows.
Launched inside Squirrly SEO: Newton — unlocking new keyword opportunities the industry had never mapped before.
A full reskilling platform for entrepreneurs mastering AI.
Press coverage included Entrepreneur, Mashable, Popular Science, PC Mag and more.
A testing ground for future AI components that later became part of Next Level Marketing AI.
Over 160 media outlets covered the reveal.

Ranking Vision AI and Next SEO Goals provide personalized roadmaps.
Evergreen systems, auto-emojis, auto-hashtags, AI agents posting on schedule.

AISQ doesn’t just innovate for the sake of innovation.
Their breakthroughs are practical, usable, and built to empower real people doing real work.
From the first SEO Live Assistant in 2012
to the first AI SEO Consultant in 2020
to the first end-to-end AI marketing engine in 2024 —
AISQ has consistently been ahead of its time.
While most companies talk about AI as “the future,”
AISQ has spent 15 years building it.
Their transition from Squirrly to AISQ marks not a rebrand, but a culmination:
A complete AI ecosystem for entrepreneurs, marketers, creators, agencies, and businesses worldwide.
If the last decade is any indication, AISQ will continue shaping how marketing gets done — not by adding more tools, but by redefining what’s possible.
Gateway to AI Adoption. This is the Future of Marketing.
