What do you like best about LocaliQ?

I use Wordstream just for my Google Ads account and it has massively improved my account's ROI. My knowledge of PPC ads was quite limited before using Wordstream but having biweekly calls with my account manager has helped me learn much more. I tend to start my calls with questions about the account's performance and then we will go through any recommendations to scale the account. The recommendations are really useful and often produce great results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

There isn't too much I dislike, but there are a few features that aren't supported on Wordstream's platform so I have to do them on the Google Ads account. This isn't too much hassle but I have Smart Shopping and Display campaigns running which have to be managed through Google. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

If you are struggling to improve the ROI on your account, or if you simply don't have enough time to dedicate to PPC ads then I really would recommend using Wordstream. The technical support they offer and recommendations they have provided me with have boosted the performance on my account massively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Wordstream makes it very easy to manage keywords. The Querystream feature is so useful and saves so much time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

minimal benefit. You need consulting to figure out their software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

Canceled the service in April 2019. I was immediately called and they offered to drop the price $550 a month so accepted. My controller notified me this month that the billing went up $300. The new price was never applied and I was over charged thousands. Contacted Wordstream and their reply was that I didn't e-sign a new contract and if I didn't like that I could go to my credit card company. Watch them closely as they will offer you one thing and not deliver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

watch you billing a get a lower price to start, they will give huge price concessions with a little pushback. If you are current customer get a lower price by threatening to cancel. Make sure you get the lower price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Better ROI. No, managed Google account with Google tools and help of Google staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

I love the fact that we can have a touchbase with a knowledgeable consultant. Similar to us, I know that several companies are forced to have employees where many different hats. Wordstream relives a huge burden of this, because they help transition you into becoming a master of Ads (adwords). This can be a major improvement from simply relying on Youtube Videos, and outdated blog posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

I do wish that there could be more consulting time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are in a unique situation in regards to our conversion tracking, and Wordstream has helped us develop a solution for this issue. This is on top of how incredibly well they have helped us optimize our account to drive better ads, better content, and more conversions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

My favorite part of Wordstream's services is the 20-minute-work week. If I'm short on time, this helps me optimize the most-important things in my campaigns without spending several hours digging into metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

It's not a dislike, per se, rather an "outside looking in" kind of feeling. Unless your business has at least $1000 to spend a month with PPC, Wordstream might not be the right tool for you. We've slowly increased our PPC budget and Wordstream was the first thing I requested to pay for when we had the money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

While I've managed dozens upon dozens of campaigns, my Wordstream advisor has helped me hone in on exactly what's working and what's not. Together, we make high-impact changes that result in way more conversions than we ever had when I was managing PPC on my own. You rock, Chris! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

It lets you know what keywords you can use to improve your content. It is the tool responsible for monitoring spending, quality levels and keyword performance. Wordstream software allows me to quickly, efficiently, add, or remove features from each individual campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

What puts this tool at a disadvantage compared to the others, is the high cost it has when acquiring it, therefore it means that small companies cannot incorporate it into their activities, since this aspect can cause an impact on the economic part of the organization, and more if it is a company that is starting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

It is a fairly ideal tool for organizations, specifically large companies that are always in need of innovating and implementing tools that provide satisfactory results for their success. WordStream is a very useful tool in the field of campaigns, advertisements and advertising reports or any marketing material, since it allows you to find the keywords that drive the performance of the organization. It is expensive but it is worth its implementation thanks to its functions that it offers for your activities. In turn, it is a tool that will not take up much time when training personnel to use it, because its use is truly easy and productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We started using WordStream because through it we can effectively identify the paid search accounts that need to be improved. It is a tool that helps us detect duplicate words, and provides us with keywords to develop our campaigns, offers and ads in a better way, in order to increase quality scores and account performance. WordStream is a tool that we use every day because it has quite useful functions for the organization and it has favored us immensely giving us productive results for the company.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

I didn’t like anything, and found this annoying and unethical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

I dislike that they collected an email address listed on a website and added it to their marketing email list to solicit my business. I NEVER gave permission, nor did I ever type my email address in for them to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

Just know they don’t care if you actually requested their product or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem I have is that they used my email address without permission. And then added emails to my inbox. I don’t use it for anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They are still building out the Facebook Ads portion. Google Ads software is better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

Wordstream is a great tool that makes it simple to do my search & social ad optimizations. They not only make my weekly optimization easy, but also take the headache out of providing client reports. They also give me confidence that the client work I'm doing is strong. The best part of the company is their customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Brilliant service & results

- Regan Hamilton was our consultant , brilliant Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

Nothing at all. It's extremely rare to NOT complain about an agency - and this is one of those rare occasions.

Used them for more than a year - great experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LocaliQ:

My review is based purely on using Wordstream as a managed service provider - for this they are phenomenal.

For the software WS provides - unfortunately didn't use this much, as our Account Managed looked after everything we needed.

If you're looking for someone dependable, trustworthy to hand your paid channels - they are really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Consistency of ROI from Adwords - great performance always.

Alleviating internal teams, handing off YT/FB/LI to a dependable partner . Great knowledge and results across all paid channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LocaliQ?

I'd say the 20 Minute Work Week has been super impactful. It allows me to start off my week feeling confident that I'm keeping on top of our Google Ad Campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LocaliQ?

I do wish that WordStream was able to provide more data/tips about running local Local Campaigns from the Google Ad platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have increased our leads using WordStream forms on our website as well as Facebook forms. We've decreased our CPA overall as well. WordStream has been a great tool to give us peace of mind about what our budget is producing via Google Ads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
