AI-powered growth platform recognized for helping SMBs optimize their marketing and accelerate growth

Thryv® (Nasdaq: THRY), provider of an AI-powered growth platform for local service businesses, announced today it has earned a spot on Constellation Research’s prestigious 2026 ShortList™ for Marketing Automations for Small and Midsize Business. One of just eight companies to make the list, Thryv’s AI marketing features are designed to fuel intelligent business growth by optimizing online visibility and delivering lead insights and marketing budget optimization.

According to the Constellation Research team, SMB marketers are eager to “punch above their weight” with autonomous actions delivering robust personalization and deep account intelligence. To level the playing field, SMBs are actively looking to target decisionmakers to accelerate and sway decision cycles and outcomes, and curate and ingest broad account and market data for more focused, individualized engagements from interest through to acquisition and success.

The Thryv Growth Platform™ meets these emerging needs with AI-powered analytics, marketing insights and customer intelligence, marking a competitive shift for small business owners who traditionally needed big budgets and teams to access these processes. Thryv’s AI-powered tools identify which marketing campaigns are producing leads, which channels are driving revenue and which marketing investments deserve more budget.

“Technology advances are coming fast and furious, making it challenging for any business to keep pace and understand which tools are delivering the most value,” said Rees Johnson, Chief Product Officer at Thryv. “We built the Thryv Growth Platform to take the guesswork out of marketing and this Constellation ShortList recognition underscores that our AI-powered tools are helping small businesses optimize their marketing investments.”
