History

Longtail UX (LUX) was established in 2013 by Will Santow and Andreas Dzumla to help eCommerce and lead generation businesses gain more traction. Santow at that time led tertiary course aggregation websites - CareerFAQs and Dzumla worked at Google. Initially, the founders created a series of multi-product landing pages tailored to LUX's search terms, which resulted in a 400% increase in traffic in just two months. This is when they decided to take their concept to a commercial level.[10]

Within a year, LUX acquired one of Australia’s largest eCommerce stores as its client and achieved a 280% increase in inquiries in four months. In 2020, they secured funding from Woolworths’ venture capital arm W23.[11][12][13][14]

As of 2021, LUX has secured patents in the US, Japan, Australia, China, Singapore, and South Africa, with a pending application for Europe. Since its inception, LUX's client list has expanded to include major eCommerce brands such as Dan Murphys, Adore Beauty, and Myer.[15][16][17][18]
