Co-founder, Spotlight Local

Kestutis (Kes) Grauslys is the co-founder of Spotlight Local, a Sydney agency that helps Australian local businesses rank in the Google Maps Top 3.

He brings years of IoT experience — distributing European-engineered business technology into the Australian market — to the questions owners actually ask: what moved, by how much, and what it did to the phone.

He watched the right tools, in the right hands, change what a small business could do. Spotlight Local is the same model, applied to the one thing local businesses can’t easily fix on their own: being found.
