Overview
Ignite Visibility is a digital marketing agency founded in 2013 by John Lincoln and Krishnan Coughran, headquartered in San Diego with offices in Irvine, New York and Orlando and a remote-first team.[14] Coughran leads the company as chief executive and Lincoln serves as executive chairman.[14]
In February 2023 the agency partnered with the private-equity firm Mountaingate Capital to accelerate growth, and it has since made acquisitions: Integrated Digital Strategies in December 2023, which deepened its franchise-marketing expertise, and Outliant in April 2025, which added web capabilities.[14] Ignite describes its offer as an integrated platform rather than disconnected vendor tools, combining SEO with paid media, social and web work.[14] Its franchise-marketing experience makes it relevant to multi-location brands that need local SEO at scale. As a private-equity-backed, acquisitive group, its structure and service lines may continue to change, and SEO is one component of a wider offer. Fees are not published.
