What do you like best about LocaliQ?

Based on my experience, Wordstream sees best suited for companies that do not want to outsource their PPC advertising and want a Done With You solution. User interface and reporting have some excellent features but also some limitations, especially for agencies, see below. Weekly task list, the 20-minute work week, is good as is the consulting and coaching service but neither is a replacement for time spent working through the details of an account. Quality score suggestions are helpful. Query analysis is good. Ability to push to Google and Bing helps save time by reducing duplicated effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

It's expensive and I prefer working directly in Google AdWords, the new version. Using Wordstream I felt one step removed from the process and preferred to work directly in Google AdWords. Reports are limited to services managed by Wordstream, making it necessary to send multiple reports in cases where other services need to be reported on. The other reporting issue I ran into is that I needed more robust call tracking features for my clients (Wordstream only provides one number) but when I switched to another call tracking provider I was not able to pull those results into my Wordstream reporting. This was a major limitation and the ultimate deal breaker that caused me to cancel the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

Do the month to month plan to get started. I made a mistake and signed on for a year. When I decided I no longer needed it after a few months, it was not fun trying to cancel the contract early. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem that it solved for me was ramping my Google AdWords service for clients. I needed help getting started and Wordstream was a great way to start off strong and with confidence that I could do a good job serving my customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NOTHING - the push you in a 12 month plan Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

ALL - they push you in a 12 month plan. Costs are exploding and you get nothing in return. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Don't do business with this company - costs explode with nothing in return. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NOT ONE - they push you in a 12 month plan. Costs are exploding and you get nothing in return. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jessica Armstrong of LocaliQ
(Original )

Sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction with our 12 month plan. We'd really appreciate learning more about your experience to see if we can make things right. Please feel free to email me at jarmstrong@wordstream.com.

As an aside, we get a lot of feedback on the length of our commitments, which is why last month we announced a shorter 3 month option. For anyone concerned about committing to a full year, I recommend choosing a 3 month subscription.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

The slimmed down 20-minute work week does a lot of the advisory work for you, while still allowing you to make the best educated decision based on data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

So far I don't have any negative feedback. The consulting is a huge perk, but in my first 3 months I've seen lots of new features and updates as the WordStream folks continually grow their product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

If you manage more than 2 campaigns, this is worth the investment in time saved and advice given alone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Time-management, ad development, and bidding strategy techniques, but again, the time-saving aspect is much greater than initially anticipated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

Scaling and handling multiple ad accounts, or if you are new to digital advertising, you can learn new things as you go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wish the software would support shopping ads, which I heard they're in the works to do! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

I greatly appreciate the one-on-one time with the rep. He's been very helpful in assisting me and providing me with the knowledge I need to have effective campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

I haven't found anything that I dislike so far and I've been using WordStream for a few months now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

If you're managing multiple accounts, or even just one for that matter, WordStream provides excellent support with their product. I appreciate the weekly suggestions I receive on all accounts to continually improve on my SEO efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With WordStream, I have been able to streamline managing multiple accounts. It's extremely convenient, creates a more efficient workflow, and I know they are there to help should I ever need it. Over the months of using WordStream I have watched the CPAs go down and the ROIs go up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

I like that we have a dedicated rep to help us build our campaigns and give advise. It's better than us guessing at what we should do. The meetings are helpful in us being able to stay on track as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

May just be the nature of it but our campaigns aren't performing as well as we would like. I think part of it is just us figuring out the right keywords. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

Keep your meetings with your rep and don't put it off. They help a lot with implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our team is really busy and we aren't ready to add another staff member just dedicated to working on SEO full time. This is helping us to be able to make sure we are strengthening our SEO but not at a cost of having to hire someone or pull our team members away from their already busy schedules.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

The onboarding process was fantastic! They immediately trained me on best practices and made sure I was up and running ASAP. The ongoing consulting has been so important to my success. My consultant (James) is always dialed into my campaigns & his advice always produces better results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

The speed of the system is a tad slower than the AdWords platform...but it's pretty minor. It's something I'm willing to deal with for the added benefit of using their platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

Purchase the product with the consulting option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'm able to manage multiple client campaigns easily and quickly. WordStream is great at directing me towards better results. There are suggestions all along the way and the software is incredibly helpful at reinforcing AdWords best practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
