About Countlift

Built because our clients kept asking one question.

First Byte runs advertising for multi-location brands. Every one of them wanted to know which ads filled their locations. The ad platforms could only tell them about clicks. So we built the answer.

What we believe

Four principles behind every screen.

Our mission: give every multi-location operator proof of what their advertising does, location by location, and the confidence to move budget on it.

01

Measure where the money is made.

At the counter, the front desk and the check-in, not in a click report. Sales by location are the scoreboard.

02

Be honest about uncertainty.

Every number comes with a range. When the data can’t support an answer, we say directional, not proven.

03

Act on it, don’t just report it.

A read is only useful if it changes the budget. Every result ends in a move you can approve or a test you can run.

04

Priced for operators.

Proof used to take a data science team and a six-figure study. It should fit a group with a handful of locations.

Who’s behind it

An agency that lives with the results.

Sean Melton

Founder, First Byte

Sean founded First Byte, the digital agency behind Countlift. Countlift grew out of the agency’s own work: the same question from every multi-location client, and no tool that answered it with sales at the counter.

First Byte

A digital agency that plans and runs paid media for brands with many locations: restaurants, fitness clubs, hotels and resorts, retail. Countlift is the measurement we wanted for our own clients.
