Describe the project or task LocaliQ helped with:

After they merged with this local IQ. They did not contact their current customers to let them know that their support email had changed. And no this is not an isolated incident as I was referred to Thrive Hive by another business owner who has had the same issue. I also referred my husbands business and he has no information regarding a merger or new support email. I was emailing them and it never bounced back. I never received a notice that the email was no longer in use or redirected to a new support email. Finally called them and someone did call me back although he was very nice I didn't feel as confident that this merger was the best for Thrive Hives original customers. Now I am trying to perform some edits and my web pages will not load. I tried the chat bot but a tech person is not available to discuss or find out what is going on. I left another message but the message said someone would call me within the next two days. I am a business owner and don't have time for these delays. Can anyone recommend another platform? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

I liked it when they responded to emails and were very helpful prior to the merger with LocalIQ. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

Lack of support and urgency to help customers with simple services that we pay for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

I don't know if they need more time to adjust to this merger but it is disappointing that there has been little to no communication with Thirve Hives current customers and it doesn't seem as though LocalIQ has a grip on all they have taken on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Not resolved as of yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

I like that you can add different accounts from your different digital ads efforts and they give you a report on how you are doing and how to improve. It also gives you ideas on what you can do to make things better and to improve your overall campaigns. It also lets you do ads on the website and gives you tips and keywords that are commonly searched so that you can include it in your ad. It will also give you a 20-minute week where you can focus 20 minutes of your week to improve the marketing adds in different areas like search traffic optimization, ads, split ad groups, placements, lookalike page fans, and remarketing website visitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

I wish it could include the new next-door marketing effort for ads as well as a better synchronization with Facebook like it has with google and bing. Sometimes the recommendations come back even though you don't approve of them. (Not sure if this is something that I need to learn) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

If you are just starting make sure to add the bundle in which you get a consultation every 2 weeks. They are highly knowledgable and they give you great recommendations on where to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were unsure about starting digital ads on our own and using workstream allowed us to be hands-on on our digital marketing. Another benefit is we are able to see new keywords either to search or to add as negatives that are recommended by the system. It will also show you the Querystream to make sure you know what are people typing while your ads are coming up. Lastly, I also like that it shows the placements of your ads in your different accounts so that you can make sure you can either approve the placement or stop the ad from showing on the site. All of this while being user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

The software is easy to use, TECHNICAL support is quick and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

Working with them in recent months has been a nightmare. I had to find out they changed their prices by looking them up (while being a current user) and found they lowered their pricing for the same services but decided not to let current users know and only honor pricing once it was asked for. Put in a billing request and you may hear back, but there's a good chance you'll have to contact customer service to get anything done. I used to like the software and consulting but have decided to leave because of how bad the experience has been and how they've decided to treat their current customers.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

For ones Google Ads compensate, I use Wordstream, and my ROI has been improved massively. Before using Wordstream, my awareness with PPC ads was really restricted but calling my account manager twice weekly helped me learn a lot extra. I begin my calls to inquiries about the performance of the consideration and maybe we'll offer any suggestions to ramp the acct. The proposals are very useful and are often very effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

I don't like that much, however there are a few attributes also on Wordstream platform that are not supported, so I must do them on my Google Adwords consideration. It isn't too even more trouble, but I've got smart shopping and display campaigns going on that must be run via Google. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

I would really recommend that you use Wordstream if you are starting to struggle to increase the ROI on thier acct, as well as if you're not using sufficient time to devote to PPC ads. I have greatly improved the role on my acct thanks of their technical assistance and their recommendations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In our conversion tracking process, we are in a strange circumstance and Wordstream has managed to help us to evolve a solution to these problems. In addition, they assisted us modify our account in order relevant advertising, better quality and more conversion rates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

When we were in the sales call, we were shown that all ads could be made in platform, but I found it better to build it out in the actual ad platform instead of Wordstream. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

We like the smart feature to pre-plan our campaigns. So it is also possible to create ads far in advance and activate them automatically. Great is also the customization and all the possibilities for optimization and automatic adaptation to all existing social media channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

For facebook, the tool works wonderfully - for the automatic integration in instagram, it still requires additional control, since the keywords and hashtags are not always taken over correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Thanks to the tool, we can check and manage all our current campaigns depending on the social media channel. We can also implement separate budget extensions for ads. Another good thing is the marketing dashboard where we can set the objectives per campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
