==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.{{Citation needed|date=February 2020}}
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]],<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.forbes.ro/smart-hand-castiga-how-to-web-startup-spotlight_0_9139-9724

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,<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.owler.com/company/squirrly
