The best store locator for the money

Reviewed on 2018/11/24

Nothing but good things

Nothing but good things

Pros

Extremely easy to setup, add data and use. By far the best value for the money.
Basic service for smaller companies that cannot afford more advanced store locators.
We have never had a problem and neither have our customers

Cons

No cons but one improvement, which i am not sure is possible, is if the software can recongize that if on an uploaded file (excel, cvs) that if there are only 4 digits for the zip code then it will automatically enter the 1st digit at 0 as sometimes spreadsheets will not have the zero by default

Response from Prolo

Thank-you for your response and we value your feedback.

Prolo is awesome!

Reviewed on 2018/10/18

Pros

It's so easy to add locations and it's so easy for our consumers to search their location and find our product!

Cons

I see no cons about Prolo especially given the low cost.

I've contacted customer support with screenshots of the Prolo map vs. Google map (Google is accurate) and I've had no response other than the canned "we'll get back to you shortly".

Pros

It was easy to set up. I use a drag n drop website builder (WebEasy) and while doing the review within the WebEasy, the Prolo result was, visually, all messed up but when I FTP uploaded the files to my host, it displayed fine within my browser. Uploading addresses into Prolo was easy, no problems there.

Cons

The locations are way off compared to where they physically are. I'm on Vancouver Island, BC and the customers I've checked locally, are no-where near where the Prolo map shows them. Maybe it's different in the US but I can't use this.

Response from Prolo

Hi,

I believe you are mistaken. We don't support FTP so perhaps you have us confused with another application.

I personally respond to every support request and I'm don't think you reached out.

We have excellent support for Canadian addresses. I myself am Canadian and made sure of it.

Regards,
Kenton

Easy to use and easy to manage

Reviewed on 2017/06/06

Pros

Easy to use and easy to manage and add dealers. show distance to target. working fast and without any bags.

Cons

Can not control the perimeter of the search. It set for 50 mile, I would like to be able to change it to 25, 100 or 200 miles.

Response from Prolo

Thank-you for your response. With our newest update locations are no longer limited by radius. We have updated this functionality so that your customers will always be able to see locations even if they are far away.

Easy implementation for our web page. Actually works with 10 digit zip codes and Canadian postal codes.

Pros

It was super easy for our web developer to add this store locater to out web page. Our customers and our customer service people like it. The recently added feature to remove the entire list and replace has mad it much easier to update.

Cons

At first it was amost impossible to replace the entire listing of stores. It is probably more of a factor for our product since it is in over two thousand stores.

I love using Prolo! We were a pretty early adopter as we were in need of an affordable solution for listing our retailers that could easily be added to our existing website. Prolo has worked out perfectly. It was simple to put it onto my website and it's so easy to add new retailers and manage existing retailers. It's also intuitive - it knows a users location and points them directly to their nearest stores. The product locators make the Where to Buy page looks messy and disorganized - Prolo looks nice and clean! Love it!

Reviewed on 2017/06/06

Pros

It has analytics that help break down our customer base.

Cons

We have requested multiple time information regarding the expansion of the 50 mile radius as our customers can not find a dealer within those perimeters. We have not heard back any of the times we have reached out regarding this.

Response from Prolo

I am sorry that you were unable to get a response from support. We are committed to serving our customers and improving our product. Locations are no longer limited by radius. We have updated this functionality so that your customers will always be able to see locations even if they are far away.

Reviewed on 2017/06/06

Pros

The onboarding is very easy and the software overall is easy to use. Like mentioned above, we just wished it had some more features and more options to customize.

Cons

If an address of a particular store has already been inputted by another user then the new details we add don't take and only after repeated tries are we able to sometimes make the changes we need (correct address, add more details as needed etc)

Response from Prolo

Thank-you for your response. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we continue to add more features.

Pros

Great value. No bells or whistles, but gets the job done just fine, at a reasonable price. I like that the pricing is based on user views.

Cons

Would be nice to change the typography, or to alter the shape of the map, but it's still far and away the best bang for the buck.

The Prolo app was exactly what I needed for a store location app. Easy to install into Shopify and I was able to add all the stores, with maps and details, that I needed. It was easy to look up existing stores too and quickly add them to my list. Perfect too for my client, as they didn't need to know HTML to make a manual store locator. Took the hard work out of the process. Great app, highly recommended if you need an easy store location solution that plugs right into your existing site!

Inexpensive but low functionality

Reviewed on 2017/06/06

Pros

Ease of uploading stores individually or with a list.
Reports are helpful.
Pricing is reasonable for small business like ourselves.

Cons

The system does not catch duplicates.
It doesn't allow you to download your own store lists so that you can do mass cleanup.
It auto-names stores, such as Kroger-Pharmacy, when we are a frozen food company and sell in Kroger stores.

Easy to install-tool for location search

Reviewed on 2017/12/27

Pros

Very easy to bulk import locations by using a CSV file exported from other program. Does automatic recognition of stores, even in Europe.

Cons

Not compatible with iOS. Not very modular: I can't control the diameter of the store locator search. U.S. focused (e.g. when entering ZIP code).

Response from Prolo

Thank-you for your feedback. Just to be clear you should be be able to view all maps on IOS but you are correct that the admin interface does not support IOS. We are working to implement this in the coming year. This company is now based out of Canada and we are working to support international customers.
