This software provides a full picture of the pros and cons of my digital footprint and my competitors. With that I'm able to take make smart decisions on marketing and SEO. - The customer support is hands down the best. I had an issue with finding the CID for a service area business and \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], (their Senior Customer Success Executive) not only assisted me by correcting my error but she also recorded her screen and sent me a video that I can reference. "Teach a man to fish\!" as they say. You can't ask for more than that. I really appreciate BrightLocal...and \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\]\! > > **Cons**: I've used BrightLocal for many years now and they have evolved with the ever change landscape of SEO and kept up with the needs of the industry. Google doesn't make it easy...but BrightLocal is a stable part of my monthly workflow. No complaints here. > > With BrightLocal I'm able to provide a customer-facing report that is branded and proves the quality of my work. Accountability is everything in my industry. Actionable decisions for reputation and brand management with monthly updates on effectiveness, to put it simply, makes me look like a boss. ----- ### "Bright Local for Agencies" — 5.0/5 > **Casey** | *29 July 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to set up multiple clients and the reports seem to be good so far. > > **Cons**: Limitations on reputation piece and extra cost to use the keyword grid > > So far so good, we are a new user switching over from SEMrush and have had an initial onboarding discussion with a soon follow up call. We had inadvertently used up all of our credits by not setting things up properly and they credited those to us so that we could start over. Will know more in a month or so after the data accumulates. ----- ### "YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED" — 1.0/5 > **Rhen** | *16 November 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I don't have anything positive to say about my experience > > **Cons**: "Subscription Fees will not be refunded for early cancellation or any other reason" is their policy. This includes if you purchased the yearly plan and used their software for 1 minute, hour, or day... you will not get a refund, whether you are satisfied or likely not. We moved on from BrightLocal because we want our product to scale with us, and the only way to resolve inaccurate data displayed to our client-facing dashboard is to fix it manually. They only make sure the information displayed is accurate if you have an Enterprise plan. They claimed that I was misinterpreting the data (not true at all), but then went on to say no platform is 100% accurate, so which one is it...? > > Unsatisfied ----- ### "Best Local Search Platform" — 5.0/5 > **James** | *23 July 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use and the amount of stacked features they offer. > > **Cons**: I haven't found anything I don't like. There are things they can add in the future I am sure but the service is awesome. > > So far they have invested a ton of time in the success of my business and helped me get everything set up and optimized to how I wanted it. The employees I have been lucky enough to engage with are great and truly enjoyable to talk to. Definitely, people, I wouldn't mind getting a drink with. It is cool to see how much they put into you to make sure you know their platform and succeed with it. ----- ### "BrightLocal is my favorite Local Search tool." — 5.0/5 > **Zack** | *19 November 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: BrightLocal search ranking features are clean and easy to use. Really makes it easy to show clients how they are doing. > > **Cons**: You can't have more than one search location attached to a report, you have to create a separate "Location" and run another report. Can get taxing on search credits after a while. > > BrightLocal is my favorite local search tool. It compiles most of the important data I'm looking for when it comes to search in one location and is relatively inexpensive when it comes to local search tools. ----- Page: 1 / 13\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2049748/brightlocal?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2049748/brightlocal) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
