Lumar - website intelligence and SEO tools for publishers and news websites

Website intelligence to fuel audience growth for news websites & digital publishers

Publications’ websites can be large and unwieldy, with new articles posted daily and a huge amount of content accumulating in their archives. Managing media websites is a challenge, even for the most experienced publishers, developers, content managers, and SEOs.

With Lumar, you can streamline your publication’s digital operations, grow organic traffic to your articles with better technical SEO insights, provide a better user experience with improved site speed and structure, and easily monitor your site for any new issues that arise during the frequent additions of new content and features.

Find new audiences from organic search

Getting technical SEO right is a foundational aspect of ranking well in the search engines — and thus, of being found by more potential readers and viewers.

Get your content in front of new audiences by getting it to the top of the SERPs. Lumar gives you the website intelligence you need to identify SEO issues, implement fixes, and reach more people.

Easily monitor frequently updated websites

Most publications’ websites introduce new content in the form of articles, videos, and blog posts on a dailiy basis.

With Lumar Monitor it’s easy to track how these frequent updates impact your overall site health and search performance, compare issues across different website sections or domains, and stay on top of SEO and page experience best practices.

Get your digital teams on the same page

Get the people who work on your publication’s website to collaborate better, from content writers and editors to tech SEOs, UX designers to developers.

A single source of knowledge about your website’s technical health lets everyone see how their efforts add up to audience growth and wider business impact, with less chasing between teams and no more blindspots.

Why our users love Lumar

Lumar’s accessibility metrics have been a game changer.

Heather Bidwell, SEO Manager
“Lumar Monitor has literally saved us hours a week. Instead of going to each site one by one and asking if work has been completed, I can quickly see if anything has been done and see the results and progress since then. It’s been a huge time saver and helped us see at a glance who’s been doing what. It’s been a huge, huge help.”

Joshua Taylor Titsworth, Senior Analyst, Fandom.com
“Lumar is a change enablement tool that’s helped us drive a +50% increase in digital conversion and +10% increase in search engine visibility”

Dave Cain, Head of Digital Marketing, Arriva
“The extra insights we get from our calls with Lumar have been really valuable. The support we get really is like having an extension of our internal team.”

Chris Nichols, Senior Manager, Enterprise SEO & Product Management
“Lumar has saved us an enormous amount of time. So much so, we estimate without the tool, and to cover the vast array of SEO analytics and insights highlighted within Lumar, we would have needed to employ another full-time member of staff within our digital team.”

Dave Cain, Head of Digital Marketing, Arriva UK Bus
“Lumar is fundamental when it comes to technical audits, as the tool carries out an in-depth analysis of each one of our brands. It provides insightful data that helps to shape our decisions. I love how easy it is to connect Lumar with Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and Majestic data for each of our brands. Lumar congregates all that data and makes my life a lot easier. Definitely valuable in helping us to identify the highest priority issues in a data set.”

David McAdam, Technical SEO Strategist
“Lumar is obviously top-of-the-line, with a lot of cutting-edge aspects to the technology. But it was also really important for us to find someone that would be a partner for us. The extra services are a big part of why we chose Lumar.”

Matthew Grabiak, Principal SEO Product Manager
“Lumar Monitor is everything any agency or enterprise-level company needs to quickly track and look at updates, recommendations, trends, and issues. If you have hundreds of sites, it’s a way to look at things at-a-glance and know exactly what’s going on — and what issues you need to be paying attention to.”

Joshua Taylor Titsworth, Senior Analyst, Fandom.com
“Lumar Protect is a very reliable tool. We used Protect, for example, to check if anything is redirecting where it shouldn’t be. Before, I had to check everything manually but, with Lumar, you can set up tests beforehand and really see what happens. It’s a great relief to know there is something that will notify me if anything has changed.”
