We are all starting to realize the crucial importance of Local Search for Local Businesses so, what are the best Local Search Companies?
Here are some search companies specializing in the Local Search Marketing space:
Local Splash
If you watch some of the videos posted on their website, Local Splash clearly knows their business. Videos are here:

Having said that, they don’t post their prices on their website and they really don’t guarantee much outside of the fact that you have the right to get out of your contract with them after 6 months or something. I found both those facts wonky but I did finally figure out their pricing and it’s not bad and they seam to know what they’re doing. I’d say take me up on my offer for a Free 20 minute consulting call, and let’s chat about that for a few minutes and make sure you’re getting a fair shake over there.
HeyGoTo
HeyGoTo.com uses an action page or landing page approach. It looks like all traffic goes to the action page they create first that’s SEO’d for your search terms and your call to action and links to website are right there. Not necessarily a bad thing but I’d be concerned about the action page’s ownership rights at the end of your contract.
I’ll follow up this article with some better clarification once I’ve had time to get some final answers on all this from the owners of these company’s. I do know one of the founders of HeyGoTo and he’s a quality man. This article is just to sort of get some dialogue flowing on this crucial topic for today’s local business owner.
