Mr. Joe is helpful when I have questions concerning my Business Web Page. He looks into any issues and finds out what maybe going on and gets me a answer. He is prompt in returning my messages or phone calls. Great job Joe keep providing great customer service.
Daniel Hayes has been our rep for several years. He does an outstanding job. Always keeps us informed and always answers any questions or requests promptly. We would recommend Daniel to anyone.
I thought I had posted this review previously. I apologize - it is long overdue. To say we are thrilled at the service we've received since they took over our media requirements is an understatement. I was skeptical when I received the original promises of what LocalEdge could do for us initially. That was several years ago. I can honestly say that I have been pleasantly surprised as each of the "promises" have come true. I can't praise them enough. From our Sales Rep (Daniel) to everyone on the Customer support team - Thank you for caring about our business and restoring our faith in what Customer Service should be. Many, many thanks, Barbara Kidwell
Met a customer today who is a current hearst media client that informed me that thier hearst media rep relayed to them that inconsistent listings online have nothing to do with organically ranking well.... WOW!!!! This is an SEO service provider. ATTENTION Hearst media NAP consistency matters
This company calling itself "LocalEdge" has got to be less than "savory" themselves, for just look who they're featuring the most prominently on the latest edition of the Fayetteville Telephone Directory; that LYING, CROOKED, THIEF, John T. Orcutt, who STOLE over $2000.00 of MY money; money that was supposed to have gone to pay my CREDITORS, and put it ALL in HIS damn pockets. Way To Go, LocalEdge.
