==History==
Florin Muresan and Calin Vingan started off with the SEO software and wanted to build a tool that other companies and professionals could feel very comfortable using. This lead them completely open up to their customer base. Customer service became one of the most important goals.
To understand the needs of the market even better, the founders of Squirrly became involved (mentoring, teaching SEO, sponsoring) in many business events in London and Cluj, which helped the tool increase in popularity and a community of influencers grew as a result. However, the real market of the tool is the United States, as can be seen on the Alexa charts, where it shows that it is more popular in the US, than it is in other countries.
After the company grew in popularity, it began developing and selling multiple software products, as well as content marketing classes taught online. Squirrly SEO moved on from being available only on WordPress to being available on Shopify as well, though the company seems to treat them as two different products. The WordPress version keeps getting reviews on different platforms.
Starbox was the second product developed by Squirrly, and it started out as a free plug-in. It was easier to install and use, so it became popular with WordPress users, as per the reviews received.
