Digital marketing growth platform provides conversational AI and AI-powered lead management

LocaliQ, Gannett Co., Inc.'s (NYSE:GCI) Digital Marketing Solutions (DMS) business, has launched Dash by LocaliQ, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) lead management SaaS solution to harness lead conversion. With its comprehensive suite of features, AI agents, advanced automation capabilities and AI-powered reporting, Dash is at the forefront of marketing technology – paving the way for businesses to achieve unprecedented growth through optimized lead management.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250127682999/en/

The capabilities Dash provides are the latest in the tools available through LocaliQ's proprietary AI marketing platform created to drive efficiency, eliminate manual tasks, and enhance customer experiences. This next-generation software solution ensures businesses can free up their calendar, grow their business faster and boost conversions.

With features including advanced reporting and lead management tools to summarize, categorize and prioritize incoming leads, the solution enables business operators to better manage their time spent converting prospects to customers. All incoming leads are processed by AI and saved to an activity dashboard that monitors customer interactions. AI generates valuable insights that prioritizes leads, ranking the order in which prospects should be followed up. Dash by LocaliQ replaces what was previously a timely and manual process. Business owners utilizing lead scoring and management spend less time listening to call recordings and going through their inbox, allowing them to follow up faster and win more business.

"Introducing Dash to the marketplace underscores LocaliQ's commitment to technological advancement and positions us as a leader in the digital marketing space," said Chris Cho, President, LocaliQ. "Dash by LocaliQ is the connective tissue to our suite of services, designed to help our subscribers convert leads faster. This is the future of lead management technology, and we will continue to leverage the power of AI to help businesses thrive with the release of additional conversational AI offerings later in the year."

Earlier this month, Dash introduced an AI SMS agent, representing a significant leap forward in the capability of the product with the addition of conversational AI. Dash SMS Agent simulates human conversation, providing LocaliQ subscribers the ability to instantly respond to incoming SMS messages and qualify leads through natural interactions. A recent study of LocaliQ customer data shows that 40% of SMS leads go unanswered because businesses do not have the time to reply to all of them immediately. Leveraging natural language processing, machine learning, and foundation models to create conversations the SMS agent can accurately and efficiently answer business-specific questions. The Dash SMS agent helps small business owners automate the work of converting customers and growing revenue, giving time back to focus on their day-to-day operations.

LocaliQ was recently recognized as a winner of the 2025 BIG Innovation Award. The award recognized the product development and market introduction of Dash's outstanding contributions to innovation.
