Connecticut Based Ruan M. Marinho launches AI Visibility Platform SplashDash for Marketing Professionals

19 September 2025

At CT Businesses, we’re always looking for ways to stay ahead—and more importantly, to give our readers access to impressive platforms before the rest of the world catches on. SplashDash is one of those platforms, and we’re proud to announce it.

For agencies, freelancers, and marketing professionals, reporting has always been a necessary headache. Clients want clarity, but pulling numbers across platforms and packaging them into something useful can eat hours out of every week. SplashDash is changing that. With this platform, you can generate and share local SEO and competitor reports in seconds. No credit card required. No integrations needed.


CT Businesses attended the SplashDash launch party at Tranquillity Vineyard in Middlebury, Connecticut. We met founder Ruan M. Marinho, who shared his inspiration behind the platform.


“In a sea of apps, I’m trying to create something new with SplashDash. The idea is simple: tell it what you’re looking for, and SplashDash generates a beautiful report you can review and share. Businesses often ask me questions like, ‘How much should I spend on ads? How are my competitors performing? What ads are they running? What keywords should we target?’ Bigger tools focus on global brands but often neglect local businesses. SplashDash is for them, the ones who make up 50% of the economy.”
