Direction Local has helped us rank #1 in Google's Map Pack!

The Direction team is very friendly and made the entire experience easy-going. They're always available to assist us, and even took the time to review our location profiles and offer suggestions before we synced with their network.

PROS

It's super easy to setup and activate. Once we put in our business info (which only took about 10 minutes) we were able to automatically sync with a bunch of quality directories. The real-time updates give us peace of mind that our online presence is accurate and optimized. And the reporting dashboard provides clear insight in how we're performing. Having both our analytics and reviews in one dashboard is saving us a bunch of time managing our local presence. And it's nice to hear that the Direction team is working to improve their reporting dashboard with even more local insights, like keyword and competitor analysis.

CONS

Nothing comes to mind. The system is easy to use — literally anyone can use it.

Reason for choosing Direction Local

The people at Direction are very nice, and it's clear they're here to assist us in any way they can. After speaking with a few members of their team, it was a no-brainer. All their team members work in-house and there's never an issue getting someone on the phone or a video call if we need assistance.

Vendor Response

Hi Camille, Thanks for sharing the positive feedback! We actually just published a Drew James case study on our site to show our users the fantastic results you all have produced using Direction Local. Who knows, maybe you'll break ground on a 4th location soon enough!

Local Listing Directory and Reputation Management Software That Works Well For Us.

My overall experience with Direction Local is great. I have no complaints. We used to use Yext, then BrightLocal, but after using Direction Local, I'm definitely going to stick with them. They're a really fun team to work with, very supportive, and always available. They're definitely going places.

PROS

What I like most about the software is that they continually add more and more features and directories. In the past year that I've used the software, they've added some big directories such as NextDoor, for example.

CONS

The only feature that I would love to see added is some way to track local rankings, kind of like how local falcon does it, which is the software I've been using to see if this software has increased our local presence - which, it has.

Reasons for switching to Direction Local

It's more automated in terms of listing directory creation - and they are very specific with the listing directories they choose. With Yext, they remove listings once you stop paying. And with Brightlocal, I spent too much time and money selecting useless directories that did nothing for my local rankings (monitored over 6 months with local falcon).

Vendor Response

Hey Navid, Thanks for sharing your experience with us! Glad to hear you're taking advantage of all the features and exploring all the software has to offer. If you ever need anything, feel free to reach out to our team and one of our experts will assist you. To your success, The Direction Team

Finally, an honest company for directory listings

Excellent, it is honestly very good.

PROS

The software is rather easy to use, as easy as any I have used, and we have worked with several of them. The very best thing about the software is the people behind it. Whenever I have had an issue, whether it was my fault of a hiccup in the software, the have been there for us and nice as well. I greatly appreciate that.

CONS

There is not anything I can think of right now that I do not like. But if there was, they will address it and have take our requests to heart and added several features as a result of our suggestions.

Reason for choosing Direction Local

I chose Direction Local because of the people behind the product. And I still feel the same way and that we made the right decision.

Reasons for switching to Direction Local

Synup's software was very buggy, and their sales folks were basically not honest. Their support people were nice but were seemingly awash in issues and complaints, and we could not stand it any longer.

Vendor Response

Hey Steven, Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We're all happy to hear that you're not only enjoying the software, but enjoying working with our team! As always, we'll be here to help you get the most out of Direction Local, so feel free to hit us up if you need anything.

Seo marketing

Very satisfied with the software, without it I’d be still on the last page wasting my hard earned money to other seo marketing companies taking my money and not delivering placement. I’m over satisfied with direction in ranking and proving their software works best. The cheapest option that actually works, imagine that :).

PROS

Ranked up my business from being on the last page of google to the first page within a week of signing up. Others only promised but never delivered. Directions.com team of Ian have went above abc beyond to rank my business. I’ve linked all social media platforms.

CONS

Syncing yelp profile was a bit frustrating, and still hasn’t been linked. Using the software is a bit confusing and requires some skills.

Reasons for switching to Direction Local

I wasn’t ranking, they took my money and kept me dormant.

We need more leads daily, so we use Direction Local

PROS

SADOS has been with Direction for 4 years now and here's why: As an IT/cybersecurity startup, SADOS is reliant on a high visibility presence in the local and regional spaces because most of our prospects call upon us to either replace their current MSP because they're unhappy with them or something has broken and they need emergency support. So its our goal to become a household name in the area so that when a prospect needs our help, they simply search online and there we are. Direction Local allows us to be visible to our local and regional prospects. Practically every directory you can think of, we're on and we can control each listing from one easy-to-use dashboard. I'm not sure if we could ask for anymore, but to top it off, Direction is at it's core an award-winning SEO agency so we also stack on additional SEO services to supercharge our online presence. Content-writing, backlinking, analytics, and just a generally hardworking, friend-like team that we've come to know and love.

CONS

Not much to be said. We're wholly satisfied with the software.

Vendor Response

Hey Nick, thanks for the solid review! Glad to hear Direction Local continues to power your lead generation needs. There's a lot of exciting product improvements on our roadmap for 2022-2023, so get ready for even more powerful local marketing capabilities. As always, if you need anything, we're here to help in any way.

Direction Local is a big win for our company, strongly recommend for any local business

My experience has been great so far. The platform has been very useful for my team. Their customer support has also been excellent whenever I've had questions!

PROS

The primary dashboard is very intuitive and includes a ton of useful information at a glance. It's very helpful to be able to see our company's online engagement data (reviews, clicks, impressions, visibility) from dozens of different sources all in one centralized place. Their platform makes it really easy to not only view this data, but perhaps more importantly push out updates across all of these channels (social, search, directory, etc) from a single source dashboard. It's very nice to have a clean, consolidated hub from which we can maintain our brand's digital presence!

CONS

The only improvement I can think of would be to add some more integrations with customer feedback/survey platforms. It would be nice to see our internal customer satisfaction ratings alongside the public review data that Direction Local captures. This is a fairly niche use case though, and I'm sure most local businesses wouldn't require this feature, so it's definitely not a major deficit by any means.

Direction Local - All-In-One Active Citation Directories & Feedback Management Tool

My overall experience is that is an all-in-one software to manage essential elements of a successful local SEO campaign. It allows me the to have the confidence that what I need in terms of reputation management and local directories, especially those essential for voice search readiness, are in there and I do not have to worry about something being missed.

PROS

What I like most about this software is how everything is all in one dashboard. It allows me to save time and get any of the information needed very quickly. The citation directories and reviews are all real time, which allows me to stay on top of important information for my clients.

CONS

It is not really a "con", but there is just so much you can do within the dashboard that you have to take your time to get to know each feature to ensure you maximize all that you can get out of using this software. It is well worth it. Once you get the hang of it, each new location you add is all that much easier.

Reasons for switching to Direction Local

Direction Local is way more than just citations. It adds a greater sense of control over an essential part of a local SEO campaign as well as providing my clients with the ability to manage their reputation online by seeing and replying to their own customers' reviews.
