Everything is under one roof and it's easy to navigate. > > **Cons**: There is nothing negative about the service in my opinion. I needed a reputation management tool and after evaluating my options, this was the clear winner. Everything works as it is suppose to and customer service is amazing. > > My experience has been nothing but the best. I had a problem early on and customer support jumped at the opportunity to help me and they were quick and efficient. ----- ### "Great Local SEO Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Arlen** | *13 June 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: They make importing and setting up new locations a breeze. Great customer support as well. The customer reports and portal are really great as well. > > **Cons**: I can only track keywords in 1 location, a lot of my clients have small businesses in small towns so they need to have a wide service area. It would be nice to be able to track and produce keyword reports for neighboring towns as well. > > So far it's been great. Very nice people to deal with. ----- ### "An Utter Scam" — 1.0/5 > **Mark** | *12 January 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Absolutely Nothing\! I wish they would never exist as they have only ruined my business\!\!\!\! I was flourishing before meeting these cowboys\! > > **Cons**: They have shut down my account while 7 campaigns were running, and this was due to a fact where they could not understand my basic business need and kept making their point\! At Brightlocal is either their way, or your account get shut\! No signs of refund at all\! The utter shame of the tech industry in 2022. The exact meaning of Scam\! > > An utter nightmare\! Thanks to them my business is at the verge of collapse\! I wish I'd never came across these utter incompetents\! ----- ### "BrightLocal for Quality and Price" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *19 November 2021* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Citation Management, Rankings, GBP, Reputation Management - affordable and accurate all in one place SEO management software > > **Cons**: No backlink monitoring system yet available for managing / getting backlinks > > Overall experience is satisfactory. ----- ### "I would recommend BrightLocal." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *2 June 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Quality is often overlooked for quantity and mistakenly viewed as expensive. Yet BrightLocal is not expensive but definitely delivers on quality. Before BrightLocal, Local Search Audit and Reputation Manager tools were buried within vast, expensive toolboxes of their competitors. Now, my team can deliver precisely what information my clients need with easy-to-use tools developed for the specific purpose. > > **Cons**: I think they could expand their services laterally and boost Lead Gen tools, and I would like to see a better account dashboard. > > The support team is terrific; big shout out to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]. I would recommend BrightLocal to anyone in this field. ----- Page: 1 / 13\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/216349/brightlocal?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/216349/brightlocal) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
