Thanks @JoyHawkins , really glad you're finding it useful and I'm sure the planned updates that are being worked on will make it even more useful. Thanks also for being so helpful during the beta test (y)

Hi @bigbadblob Welcome to LSF! Thanks for taking the time to test out our newest tool and giving such a detailed, if painful to read, review of it. Firstly, we are eager to find out more more about these perceived issues and if you’re happy to talk to us we’d really appreciate you giving us...

I hear you and understand. We want to be part of the solution and not the problem and will do everything we can to help you grow efficiently. I hope we can work closely with you to make this happen.

Hi JMshap, I know that Vicky has addressed your issues at length above and on email and I hope that goes some way to reassure you of our commitment to helping every customers, even if we don't always get it right. Vicky & I spoke at length about these issues today and what needs to happen to...

Thanks @j_holtslander @AnnGuarantee @Tim Colling and @JoyHawkins We've refined the tool so it works with a lot more countries now so it should be useful to almost everyone. We hope to announce another free tool in the coming weeks so watch this space!

thanks @JoyHawkins for the kind welcome. The LSF is such a valuable resource and community for those of us operating in the local marketing world. We're proud to support the forum, connect with existing customers and hopefully meet a few new ones! thanks also to @Dan Foland @BenFisher @Scott...

Planning to release this tool in June. We have a program to release 1 per month this year. We just released a different tool this week and have another coming out in 2-3 weeks - Google Review Link Generator | Find all Google Links for a business

Both because you benefit from bulk pricing achieved by services that work at scale, and because you don't need to invest the man hours to build the relationships and integrations.

@brettmandoes from our experience I agree with a lot of the comments above. Building a direct relationship with aggregators & sites works if you have scale and regular usage as their best rates are linked to volume and annual commitments. So working with a middleman who can leverage their bulk...

Haha...i think Darren would win...have you seen his guns?! We are both very passionate about local search and providing a great service - the result is two high quality services that agencies & SMBs can use to help them improve their local visibility and win new customers.

@LauraY - nice to meet you. We're not really meant to talk about our own services on here, but as you mentioned BrightLocal & Whitespark specifically I hope the moderators allow a little info sharing. In a nutshell we submit to all 4 aggregators. Like Moz you pay an annual fee (currently $55)...

@Colan Nielsen @JoshuaMackens Sorry for delayed response - Christmas getting in the way :) We do submit to all 4 aggregators - cost is $55/year (no automatic renewal) In terms of effort by the customer, typically we just need the business data that you want adding/changing in aggregator...

Hi @consultant if it helps we put together this overview with a breakdown of details for 6 well known citation/listing services - Local Citation Services Compared | Moz Local vs Yext vs BrightLocal etc. We haven't included TribeLocal as they aren't on our radar much - but we'll look to add next...

@Rik Delta that's really encouraging to hear. @JoshuaMackens you hit the nail on the head. A lead gen widget is only as good as the traffic to the site. Whether you use ours or another, similar widget, they offer a good way to engage potential customers, give them some value and extract contact...

@Tim Colling thank you for pointing that out - you're absolutely correct that I meant 'NOT go so far' - i've updated my earlier comment. Serves me right for not double checking my work...i'm always telling my kids to do it...I should head my own words :) I appreciate the heads-up.
