5/5
What do you like best about BrightLocal?

I've only run into one problem using the tool since I've subscribed. Everything has been great, up until that point, but I'm a sucker for great customer service, and let me tell you. Harry did a great job figuring out my problem and promptly emailed me a solution AND gave me an additional amount of credits to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightLocal?

Nothing so far. I have other tools for web page tracking, but I really needed a more robust tool for GBP tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BrightLocal is such a great company to work with and are super helpful. Would definitely recommend!"
5/5
What do you like best about BrightLocal?

I like the fact that you have endless technology at the tips of your fingers and are able to do so many things with all the integrations, in the end you have your own property. Just awesome sauce! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightLocal?

The more I learn about SEO the less I know about SEO. I signed up to BrightLocal just to talk to someone because that was the only way to ask any questions, that was a little frustrating but I would hate to be BrightLocal and have a million me's doing just that so I guess I understand why that is.

"Great tool and Harry was excellent with customer service"
5/5
What do you like best about BrightLocal?

Brightlocal's local search grid is one of the best features of any similar tool in the local SEO industry. It's the one that people in Facebook groups ask where you got it from!

Harry was great at giving me some more credits for my free trial as I made a mistake and used much more than I should've done. He was really personable, helpful, ane friendly - we even shared a little joke while he was helping me.

Great product, great service!

Thanks Harry, you're a wizard 🧙‍♂️ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightLocal?

I have not had any issues. I would say the credit limit on the trial though maybe! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Melissa of BrightLocal

Thank you SO much for taking the time to write us this wonderful review! Firstly, I'll pass your comments to Harry as he will be thrilled (we think he's awesome too!)

As I am sure you may be aware, credit allocations depend on which plan you go for, however- you can purchase additional bundles at a reasonable cost too. Sorry to hear about the confusion in the first instance though.

I'm really pleased you've been using BrightLocal to keep on top of your rankings!

Please don't hesitate to reach out should you need anything else, we're more than happy to assist.

Best Wishes,

Melissa

"Bright Local's Citation Builder is Better Than Others"
5/5
What do you like best about BrightLocal?

Data Axle, the YP Network and other citations have made Local Search tasks like building citations more difficult for the solo-practioner. Bright Local solves that dilemma in one application - Citation Builder! When things go sideways, their customer service team is great to work with. My account manager, Clark was responsive, polite, helped resolve our issue with an Easy to Do Business With manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightLocal?

Sometimes the citations we need to clean-up or edit do not appear in their list of directories. Please add Yahoo Local, MapQuest, Local.com and Corterra. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Spy On Your Local Competitor - Stay Ahead of Them"
5/5
What do you like best about BrightLocal?

Bright local gives me detailed insights into the local data all in one place. Moreover, it connects with 3rd party tools like GMB, Facebook and Twitter and populates the data and gives you insights on what is performing and what next step needs to be taken to improve social visibility. The best thing about the Bright local is that, it allows you to run the review campaing and local listing campaign at a nominal cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightLocal?

There is no such thing I dislike about the Bright Local. It is what all the local SEO guys or agencies would need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"White label dashboards in BrightLocal."
4.5/5
What do you like best about BrightLocal?

We keep many of our clients in BrightLocal and send them reports with links to the white labeled dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightLocal?

When using the "Get Reviews" feature in Reputation Manager, I wish uploading the email lists was a little easier. I also would like to upload more emails at one time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Melissa of BrightLocal

Thank you for the review, Phil! It's great to hear you've taken advantage of the white-labelled dashboard and reporting for your clients.

Thanks also for your feedback regarding our Reputation Manager. You are able to upload up to 100 contacts via CSV but we're always looking for ways to improve the tools.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch should you need any further assistance.

Kind Regards,

Melissa

"Always quick to answer and very helpful"
5/5
What do you like best about BrightLocal?

BrightLocal is very complete. It has so many different things to both help and check on your local optimization. Furthermore, if you need assistance, they are quick to answer and if you didn't get the response you were looking for, you could ask them again, and they'll remain tolerant and kind. Also, if there are any issues in the platform, they're the first to let you know, even before you realize it, so that's very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightLocal?

Sometimes reports take a long time to download and I haven't found a way to do a download for all reports in a specific section, so for example in the Google Profile audit, it'd be nice to have a way to download the latest reports for multiple locations instead of going one by one.

"Bright Locasl"
5/5
What do you like best about BrightLocal?

Bright Local allows me and my team to view our NAP incorrection across valuable listing sites. From there, we are able to make corrections so our clients information is consistent across 3rd party listing sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightLocal?

I believe there could be higher domain listing sites added to the directory list such as Apple Maps and Nextdoor. There are occasions where the report will show an incorrection, but the information is correct. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Melissa of BrightLocal

Thank you for the 5* review! I'm really pleased to hear you've been able to utilize BrightLocal to resolve potential NAP issues.

If you're looking to use our Citation Builder service, you'll be pleased to hear we do submit to both Apple Maps and Nextdoor.com you can see all sites available for a particular business in step 2 of the process.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any further assistance with this though.

Best Wishes,

Melissa
