Fwix is redefining local search by indexing the Web by the places and locations mentioned in webpages. By geotagging the Web, Fwix is able to provide developers and partners with a robust API, which gives access to geotagged content including: news, blogs, events, photos, places data, social media and more.

Breakthrough Technology

We like to work on hard problems, and geotagging the Web is one of them. Geotagging and content classification are examples of technologies we’ve built in-house.

Our patented technology processes, geotags, and filters hundreds of thousands of pieces of content per day.
