“Additionally, data is often missing for certain keywords.”
LS

Lotte S.

Online Marketeer

Cons

“Not all of the directory listings go live, and in some instances, new listings are created on directories where the Brightlocal team cannot edit an existing listing - this goes against the principle of having one listing with the same NAP data across all other listed directories.”
OM

“For example when I tried to customize dashboard, it would not save.”
