Built for the business that can't afford a CMO.
Enterprise-grade marketing intelligence — at a small-business price.
Why we built Lume
The marketing tools enterprises use cost more than most small businesses earn in a quarter. The tools small businesses use feel like they were designed in 2012. Lume bridges that gap.
We started Lume in 2026 after watching too many small business owners — cafe owners, florists, contractors, retailers — get left behind in the AI-search transition. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews now drive the majority of high-intent buying decisions. But the answer to “best cafe near me” or “trusted plumber in 94110” is decided by signals most small businesses have never heard of, let alone optimized for.
What we do
Lume is enterprise-grade marketing intelligence built for the SMB. We audit your visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, and Bing Copilot. We fix what's broken — schema gaps, citation poverty, vendor sprawl, weak brand mentions — automatically through site connectors. We generate the content you'd have made if you had time. And we do it for $99/month, not $5,000.
Who we are
We're a small team based in the Bay Area. Founded by Prashanth Nataraj.
We're hands-on with every customer because the only way to learn how SMBs actually make marketing decisions is by being in the seat with them.
