“Nicelocal bring me more clients”

annie m.
5/18/22

I never thought that getting a card on Nicelocal would bring me more clients, but that's what has happened. People regularly come to us thanks to reviews on the platform. In the end, I decided to try buying the Premium package. And it actually works: we began popping up in the top search results for our area, and our flow of clientele has increased respectively. And it really is convenient: the card doesn't take much time, but the benefits and the profits are increasing every month.

Top Critical Review

“"Nicelocal" is Parasitic and Unethical”

Amy W.
3/23/22

"Nicelocal" seems to have lifted info off of a legitimate listing for our business, and created their own parasitic "listing" which we have not approved, and want nothing to do with. They have added additional inaccurate information. I have emailed twice to request that this listing be removed. No response. How is this legal or ethical? Like most scam sites, there is no owner information listed or legitimate way to contact them. It may take a class action suit to stop them.

Who owns Nicelocal and why is it so hard to have one of their inaccurate business listings removed?

Tapped and published my company data without consent. Yourself on your website no imprint (which is illegal). The operators of the website are located in India...

Local Search Solutions Private Limited

Plot No. 55, Shop No. 57, CITI Tower, Sector 15, Ground Floor, CBD Belapur Mumbai

Mumbai City, Maharashtra, India

Also I got a bad rating on their website (can't be at all) but to change or read it you have to register and pay ;D Yeah, that stinks of scam. Will check further steps against the operators.

They will not allow you to post comments that is telling the truth about the company. If your willing to lie or post a good review it's approved but if you state how the company has issues they will send you a message rejecting your review. Then tell you it was an offense ive comment and they can't post it. My comment "I don't like the way this company handles their issues" nothing in this was obscene or held foul language according to the reason they rejected my reviews. So all you will get from there website is lies

I posted a card for my salon on Nicelocal, and thanks to reviews our customer numbers have increased with each passing month. Recently I purchased a Premium package: they put the card together beautifully, and brought our information up to date. I'm happy that I chose this particular website to promote my business.

Nicelocal is a parasitic site based in India run by Rajiv Sharma.
They copied our business listing, added some misspellings and inaccuracies-- and some truly ridiculous content- and added it to their site. I've contacted them several time to ask that this fake listing-- that we have not requested or approved--be removed. Crickets. They are SEO masters and set up fake business review sites (e.g., "Tech Times", "Business-Standard", etc) to promote Nicelocal. Unethical businesses that lie, and steal, are never successful, Nicelocal. PS. Don't trust their bogus representative "Anna K" who responds to these complaints-- you'd just be giving them more information.

Tip for consumers:
Don't trust this scammy site-- they are SEO masters who set up fake websites allover the web to try to drown out legitimate complaints. See: "consumer complaints", "tech times" and "business-standard" for examples.

Dear Justin,

Nicelocal is a search platform that makes it easy for users to connect with various businesses. Like other search engines, we just provide listing services to site visitors and just post your name, information about your business from public open source resources, without creating any confusion about your ownership of those trademarks.

We do not claim ownership of any right, title or interest in your data and trademarks, nor do we claim that your ownership or intellectual property rights have passed to us.

Given the above, we understand that the the foregoing use doesn't conflict with your rights or any applicable laws, and therefore the claim of infringement is incorrect.

We would like to inform you that we believe that such trademark use is legal and in compliance with applicable law, as we obtained it from publicly available public resources and does not violate your rights protected by such trademark.

In light of the above, we are prepared to remove the information immediately, if necessary.

A convenient platform; we used it for long-term promotion. We had a modest budget - too small for Gold; so we went with Premium. Three months later we're already seeing first results. Customers have started coming. After optimizing our card and promoting it, we outplaced our regional competitors in the search results. We're currently launching new sales events; we'll see how they end up performing.

I just recently noticed this so call review website pop up in my google reviews. They are posting inaccurate and misleading information about my business (in Toronto). I have worked hard to maintain a 5* google rating but somehow on their site we're at 4.7 and ALL reviews were pulled from google. How in the hell is that possible? How do I go about removing all of my business info from their site. My next move is to report them to the Better Business Bureau.

Helped our beauty salon become known in our area! After we upgraded to a premium listing, our salon's card transformed visually and began regularly appearing in the top results of the directory. Now we have a good, steady flow of clients, and profits are on the rise. The money we invested in premium service has paid off.

I googled my company and just happened to find it listed on Nicelocal. I have no idea where all of the information came from, and how it was populated on this site but it has absolutely nothing to do with my company. I sent an email to request complete removal of my company from their site. Based on reviews, I see that numerous others have had the same negative experience. Aside from contacting them, I have no other idea how else I can get my listing removed.

I looked for a hairdresser on Nicelocal, and I found a really good salon with promotions and discounts. Then I needed a restaurant for a get-together with friends. And I've found lots of other places specifically on Nicelocal. Searching is convenient — by name, by place, etc. I always look through the reviews, as they help me to choose. And I write reviews myself (maybe they'll prove useful to somebody).

I use the website regularly. I find it an honest, easy-to-use platform with lots of reviews and various information on restaurants, salons, and other businesses. There are many different filters for easy searching. And in general, if I just enter a type of service and the region in the search, Nicelocal is one of the first links I see. So I end up using it most often.

It must be a scam. I found my business published in this webpage when searching on internet. My business description is handmade handcrafted jewellery (EvocativArtJewellery). But, it shows that I sell clothes and shoes. I tried several times to contact them to correct or remove this page, without success.

User-friendly website interface, logical navigation. We started working with Nicelocal only recently, but already we're seeing results. Several customers have already told us that they learned of our salon on the website. Not bad for a new platform — there's a lot to like. Now I'm thinking about getting even more serious about developing our Nicelocal presence with a more expensive package.

This site wrote a description of my medical aesthetics business and it was completely erroneous and amateurish. I do not offer half of the services they listed. They listed my medical aesthetics clinic as a place to "hang out "and get "reinvented ". In addition, they list a three star review with no text! I have no idea what this is about as I've never had an unhappy client and I certainly would want to know if somebody was unhappy so that I may respond to them.
I don't know what they are trying to accomplish with this site except to miss inform and hurt businesses for no apparent reason. This site should have a negative star review.

Let me know if you experienced same thing?

Not a bad platform; the interface is simplicity itself. Sometimes I contact support if technical issues arise.

I always monitor reviews and competitor pricing. I like everything here. We purchased the Premium promotion, which expanded our potential to attract customers.

I liked the Premium package on Nicelocal — they really do bring in the clients. I have a small beauty salon; we opened not too long ago. We had very few clients, but after the Nicelocal managers put together a card for me our customer base slowly began to increase. A chain reaction followed: several people came to us through Nicelocal, left reviews, and told their friends. We also ran a "bring a friend" promotion. Eventually the salon started booking solid even several days in advance. The features are good, clear, and simple. I'm quite satisfied.

I keep putting up reviews for my lawyer and Farmers Insurance. Every single time immediately they take them down because they're one star. They will not leave any reviews up that are one star. I've had my review taken down at least 15 times in the last 30 days. Every time I put it back up they take it down. Horrible website not accurate at all

Some appreciative customers left positive reviews on the Nicelocal website; it was purely by chance that we found our beauty salon's card at all. We thought, why not clean it up nicely so that it starts attracting new customers for us?

We allowes ourselves the luxery of paid promotion, as it opens up more opportunities. Since our launch, our customer numbers are UP 10 percent.
