What do you like best about Direction Local?

I love how I got listed in a bunch of different sites automatically after signing up. It's also been helpful to me with getting alerts anytime I get new reviews so that I can quickly respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Direction Local?

I've been using it for a few months now, and there's nothing I can say that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Direction Local solving and how is that benefiting you?

Within a few months of signing up, it's been clear how it's helped my local business rank higher in Google map results, I can see in the analytics on the dashboard how my online visibility score went really high, and the analytics also shows Google analytics of more clicks and phone calls since I've signed up. So, I'd say the problem it solved is my local presence (or, lack thereof prior to using this software). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Direction Local?

Our biggest problem as a local business is generating the momentum needed to thrive. It's an arduous process because you need customers to get the reviews and you need reviews to get the customers. Using Direction Local, we've alleviated ourselves from the burden of searching across the web for every instance where our business shows up. In doing so, we can monitor our reviews, ratings and reputation from one-easy-to-use platform. It's invigorated our marketing strategy and has made the job fun again.

Think of how many locations online your business is displayed. Yelp, Google, Bing, the numerous directories online. It's difficult to align them all with the same information. Really makes things a whole lot easier for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Direction Local?

I can't say there are many cons. The price is affordable and the software gets the job done exactly as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Direction Local solving and how is that benefiting you?

Initially we didn't know what we were looking for. There are so many business directories online. It's very difficult to manage them all. At first, we thought we would hire an agency to do the legwork for us but then upon noticing Direction Local, we found an easy way to manage all of our business listings from one place for a low monthly rate. We have increased revenue tenfold over the past two years with thanks to Direction Local. It's a game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Direction Local?

The most helpful part of Direction Local is the automatic listing creation and duplicate suppression. Plus, I like how you can post business updates and/or changes to Facebook, Google and a bunch of other listings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Direction Local?

It would be nice if they had a way to track local rankings in a sense, a bit like how Local Falcon does. But, it's not a huge deal since the rankings are in constant flux dependent on user location and such. But still, if they add that feature, I'll be super happy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Direction Local:

If you want to simplify management of your online presence, I highly recommend using Direction Local. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Direction Local solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem that has already been solved was our overall local rankings. We had moved the company a few times and had listing directories saying we were located in places that we weren't. This platform helped fix all of that, and within a month, we noticed an increase in organic traffic and leads - which I measured via the Google Business Profile directly.

What do you like best about Direction Local?

I think it's really cool how easy it is to update your business information everywhere that Direction Local lists you in as well, primarily the updating photos/sales/covid-19 update/news feature where I can upload different types of posts then schedule it out and/or post it to Google, Facebook, Yelp, among others simultaneously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Direction Local?

I don't have anything I don't like, but recommend potentially adding some type of outbound review request feature - that'd be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Direction Local:

The price for what you get, it's a no-brainer for any company who wants their local seo and brand presence to be simple to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Direction Local solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm able to ensure my locations are up-to-date everywhere on the internet through one dashboard, while also being on-top of reviews as they come in. My local visibility has also increased when measuring results via other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
