"Great Local Search Platform"

4/5

What do you dislike about Rio SEO?

There is a bit of clicking around to get any request/update/change to a location completed. And it's not instantaneous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Need a local listing management solution? You found it."

5/5

What do you like best about Rio SEO?

Their feed syndication is like clockwork. When they say the feed information is going out, it is going out. I've used 3 different local listing management companies in the past and this is the only one I know I can trust to get the job done when they say it will be done.

I've used 3 different platforms and these guys seriously stand out from the rest I've used in the past. When they say they can help you out you can take it to the bank. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rio SEO?

The dashboard needs some training to understand it, but it's very easy to learn and teach others how to use. They do offer a different reporting dashboard that does this however that is an additional product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rio SEO:

They are well worth the investment, the support and products they provide are second to none and will help you along every step of the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rio SEO solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to provide our clients with a reliable and trustworthy syndication platform. The benefits we've gotten have been reduced duplicates popping up, more complete listings and actionable insights from what areas of a listing are missing and their support staff is fully trained in local SEO so they're able to help out if we have a question we can't answer.

"Enterprise Local SEO Tool Delivering Excellent Results"

5/5

What do you like best about Rio SEO?

The high touch service is exceptional and their team is very knowledgeable. Rio helps us manage the tricky tasks of fixing discrepancies, saving us hours of dealing with platforms such as Google My Business. The aggregated reporting provides great insights for our clients and they are always happy to help us prepare decks communicating the benefits of their product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rio SEO?

The Rio platform is a little complex. Most tasks can be managed easily in the platform but there are many custom fields needed to properly submit feeds to all the directories. This is expected with any tool that is feeding data to many different sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Rio SEO:

If you're looking for high-touch service, this is the perfect solution. They also do a great job with international directories, something that we couldn't find with other solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rio SEO solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our clients want to ensure accurate information to all directories. This is difficult to scale without a company such as Rio SEO. Improved accuracy is expected but our biggest benefits are around insights in the reporting and education from their team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
