Reach Local has provided my business with very many quality clients. I'm impressed with their efforts, web designs, quality add writing, and their advertizing abilities to get me noticed... my business has really succeeded with their help at a reasonable cost. I would highly recommend using their talents, and my service rep Brady Benzley is always on top of his game! A very satisfied client!

“SCAM”

Tina C.
3/17/23

This place is a SCAM! Not only did they lie every step of the way, not giving us ANY of the reach that was promised. They are nearly impossible to reach. Our Christmas season was ruined after being given only 3 states coverage and using key words that have nothing to do with our business. The Corporate office said we would be refunded, then management (Rich) said we would be refunded, and after we were promised our money back with apologies they STILL KEEP TAKING IT! THEN after we regretfully resort to charge backs on the additional charges... they are still disputing it saying that we had a contract when we have multiple emails from them saying we are being refunded. Not to mention we were told that they canceled our initial google ads...also a lie. We were charged by Google and Reach Local. I hate for this to happen to anyone, please be advised before you lose the thousands of dollars that we have.

I have been a customer since December 2019. So far they have missed their deadline to go live with geographical tar getting. The representative is on vacation and before leaving stated someone from IT would contact me by Feb 17,2020. No one has. I have left at least 3 messages with the manager John Graham since Monday, no one has called me. I am ready to fire these people for lack of customer service, breach of contract and anything else my lawyer can think of

I am a Facial Plastic Surgeon in practice for 20 years and Tara is the first marketing consultant that has hit a home run for me. I have used at least 7 other agencies and consultants over the year who have always over promised and completely under delivered. Not Tara at reach local, she told me what I would get and she was absolutely correct My surgical consults and closures have more than doubled and my non surgical business is much improved as well. My ROI is finally what a consultant has promised. I could be happier. Everyone should reach out to Tara and hire her it will be a game changer for your practice. I do not give rave reviews often but she is the bomb and a rock star in web marketing. Thank You Tara!

Tip for consumers:
Just don't do it.

Products used:
I'm afraid to use another marketing service after this experience. I am going back to school to learn how to do this myself.

Signed up and used them for 6 months at 2k a month. They mirror your site so they can monitor clicks and record calls to your site. I found some value in the phone recordings initially but they bug the tar out of you to rate "so they can improve your standing". First problem was I went 4 months without them recording the calls. Sales rep was nice but blamed her techies on the non recording. I managed my own adwords for a year before bringing them on. RL's results were about 10% more costly than mine. I understand they mark up the clicks fairly substantially. One of my issues was putting me on "partner sites". They say the clicks were cheap, less than $. 25 each. Well, that just lowers the overall cost of their clicks for comparative purposes! I finally dumped them after the contract. I still get calls from the rep saying I'm going to be sorry I left them just when their proprietary algorithm was gathering enough data to really help me take off. I think its bull$#*! personally. They will not share their search terms saying its proprietary. So, at the end of the day when you fire them you have nothing to show for it. Your history, your search terms, anything that can help you formulate a new plan is none of your business - even though you paid for it. I'm back to my own adwords account with a person managing it for me for a 20% fee. Better feedback, better results. I just wish I had my $12k back.

The team at reach local has been fantastic. We have used them for seo and website development. Our manager is always available to us to answer any questions or make changes we request. The website they built us is clean and easy to use. Very happy with reach local.

Hi, Amii, We've tried reaching out to you about the issue with your website. What you're experiencing isn't a result of your previous work with us but rather your new web hosting. As you're no longer running your site with us, we have no control over what's happening, however, we'd be happy to talk to you and walk you through what it sounds like is going on in the backend of your web hosting and even talk to your new web hosting company with you. Please respond to Ro at clientcare@reachlocal.com so he can help with this. Thank you.

I've worked with the Reach Local team for about 18 months. I'm super happy with their products and their team. We have always been treated fairly and in a timely matter. I would recommend and trust them with marketing for businesses big or small!

Brady Benzley of Reach Local has been wonderful to work with. He has walked me through every step and been extremely patient with my many delays. Our website is perfect and I love being able to track the new business we have received because of it. The phone call taking system has also been very helpful, even though i want for it at first. Anyone looking for help in digitally marketing their business, big or small, Brady at Reach Local is amazing.

We have been using ReachLocal for almost 3 years now. They do offer a variety of services which I find to be very helpful. For me, the selling point for ReachLocal is not their excellent track record, but it is the fact that they have a local rep, Nicholas in my area with whom I can meet whenever I need help. Nicholas is very knowledgeable and he has always been extremely helpful to me in implementing new ideas.

Brady makes sure that my social media is optimized and he lets nothing slip through the cracks. I can spend my time being a doctor and never need to worry about my website, SEO, Facebook, etc. This level of professionalism and trust I have with Brady is uncommon and very valuable.

I have worked with many different companies in the past and no one has taken the time to explain everything like Brady does. Not only am I seeing results but I understand how and where my money is being spent. Brady goes above and beyond to keep everything running smooth. I would highly recommend him to any business that wants to boost their profits!

Brady has been an essential part of our marketing campaign. He brings new ideas that help us grow and increase our revenue. Response time is always very prompt. He handles everything, including all the little details that can become tedious and time consuming. Five months in to our campaign and we are already seeing great results!

I've used a bunch of marketing services that quickly turn you over to an automated service and you never speak to a real person again. Not so with Brady at Reach Local. He has been fantastic to work with, he knows his stuff and he's always willing to bend over backwards to help me succeed. I feel I have a real partner in building my marketing machine.
