What do you like best about LocaliQ?

Clean & Simple UX. Solid optimization suggestions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

The lack of LinkedIn integration is really the only thing that jumps out to me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

My review says it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LocaliQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

While I have used Google Ads etc for years, it is only one part of my job. Wordstream makes managing ads very easy and optimize them stupid easy. That's allowed me to spend more time working on better ads, CTAs, and content. If you are a fulltime pro, you probably don't need it. However, if you manage PPC and want to slash the significant time you are required to work in the old, clunky, hard to navigate G ads platform, this is absolutely worth the price!

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

The stage and interface is very easy to understand, gives simple and profitable revealing that can be made on interest. The stage spares so much time and the progressions there are actualized immediately, helped our organization a great deal to tidy up the record, upgrade it better and find new open doors for development. Their client support is stunning, educated and exceptionally quick in their reaction if any need emerges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

There aren't any noteworthy issues or abhorrences that I have run over up until now. There's a slight expectation to absorb information, yet their support team is useful, well disposed, and patient to enable you to get moving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

The item is easy to utilize, very capable for business size and needs giving a savvy and efficient arrangement, I recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LocaliQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

Time and asset imperatives are settled with WordStream. It is magnificent at featuring where we're possibly squandering cash and passing up increasingly pertinent snaps. WordStream was the snappiest route for us to get up to speed driving potential clients to our site and from our online life destinations, drive transformations. It's easy to investigate every one of our exercises and integration of the WordStream internet business tag was extremely simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

At first, the process seemed easy and convenient. It is nothing but. There is nothing to help you monitor your ads efficiently in a way that actually saves your business money. What happens is that the software and the consultants become an additional expense and the amount of "experimenting" they do is just recklessness with your marketing budget. You end up spending more time monitoring the software than just if you left your adwords account running without their help. Their staff is friendly but lack business sense. There is much room for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

Things easily get out of control with their service. Without looking for a few days, their software automatically does absurd things for your business like raise CPA to ridiculous amounts without prior approval. BEFORE WE USED WORDSTREAM, OUR ADS WERE PROFITABLE. After signing on with them, their software and consulting expertise has cost us thousands of dollars with no chance of getting out of the contract for several more months. Be wary of any ads service that locks you up for 6 months and more, refusing you any sort of trial. Their demo staff also kept on overpromising and their service has been seriously underwhelming, to say the least. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

Consider carefully. Perhaps Wordstream is more beneficial to larger businesses. Small-medium businesses, stay far away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LocaliQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

There has been no business problem that they solved for us. They merely restructured our account and have been spending our ads budget recklessly. I have never been so angry and disappointed at a service charging such premium rates before. Their software and service is merely a smoke and mirrors type of enterprise, and for small businesses, their services are an unecessary and burdensome expense. Perhaps if you are a larger business, they may do a better job with their higher paying clients. Unfortunately, we not only derived 0 benefit from their services, we have lost precious time and money and will continue so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jessica Armstrong of LocaliQ
(Original )

Hi Christy, a manager on our customer success team is trying to connect with you to help rectify your situation. We would love to work with you to get back on track. The main reason for your CPA change is because you changed your conversion tracking to measure order completion instead of simply starting an order. This doesn't necessarily mean that your account performance has changed or gotten worse, it simply means that you are measuring it differently. I hope that helps!

UPDATE: Christy has been let out of her contract and refunded for recent charges.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

The simplification of the interface. WordStream takes an intimidating and extensive piece of software like Google Ads and makes it extremely user-friendly and approachable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

There are a handful of features not available through the interface (placements & exclusions) that still drive me back to the Google interface and I'd love to just live in WordStream. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

The return you'll get in savings in the first 3 months will pay for the software for the year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LocaliQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

Understanding what search queries are driving traffic and what to exclude. The onboarding training and check-ins keep me on top of the account regularly as well. It's taken a mangled mess of info that was difficult to decipher and made it actionable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

Wordstream is a time machine because it CREATES time. Meaning that the time saved with it's recommendations and automations allows us to focus on more important items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

I wish that you could customize the reports. I also really wish you could give a client login for VIEW ONLY access to reports and phone calls and not management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

Sign up for their management service for 3 months. It really helps with onboarding and getting used to the system as well as valuable recommendations for your campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

The 20-minute work week is a game-changer. Without that our account would need a fulltime dedicated person. Management is a breeze with all the relevant stats being shown. Query stream is amazing for weeding out negatives and finding new keywords. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

Wish the consulting would have been worth keeping, but too much turnover. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

The weekly consults with our adviser have yielded benefits by allowing my team to become better educated in the nuances of managing these efforts. We'd had quite a bit of experience but have learned a great deal from him. Within the first few weeks, we were able to save enough in expenses, while keeping the same level of results, to cover the cost of the contract. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

Modifying these campaigns takes time and, unfortunately, I'm impatient. The process does take some time and is better in the long run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

Pay for the personalized consulting. We have found the scheduled weekly calls have been very valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LocaliQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are seeking more cost effective measures in our social medial / digital advertising usage. With our discussions with our adviser, we've been able to cut our costs substantially while maintaining a steady stream of strategically targeted inquiries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

Taking over clients' Ads account and using Google Ads dashboard to find errors is daunting. When we subscribed to WordStream, we can simply upload their account data, and watch the magic happen to help us quickly identify issues and implement WS recommendations.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

Nothing really except the Lead Gen tool is a bit odd in terms of how it displays data points/talking points when we want to share it with a lead. The comparison tables don't vary that much when dealing with small businesses for terms we manually enter who may have a lower budget. The lead gen tool seems like it would be great for a large website or business with a large budget AND many manually entered keywords. Not all agencies who use WordStream are working on enterprise or mid-market accounts. The SMBs can gain huge value from an agency our size if I can show them some improved talking points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

Just do it! You won't be disappointed. Onboarding is simple. Tech support is great. Consultants actually know what they are talking about to help you improve the campaign(s). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LocaliQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're solving crazy ad spend by our clients doing it themselves OR for a company who assumed the "set it and forget it" method is viable to keep a client. Not the case. Improving their ad spend and identifying non-productive keywords faster to deactivate them is crucial and our clients are beginning to really enjoy our tactics... with the help of WordStream. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
