I got a call from these jerks and interrogated the representative. The service they are selling is a SCAM. You can manage your own GOOGLE Local business listing, it's FREE people.

If you need a good internet presence you need to spend time and basically just provide good service, if you want your local business listing to show up just customize your listing according to your niche. GOOGLE DOES THE REST FOR FREE.

I am on the FIRST PAGE OF GOOGLE and I pay $15 per month.

FYI - (((REDACTED)))

Probably the best web company i've ever dealt with, and i've had a few.


sorry, allowing you to give a competitors name would instigate others to just file against their competition, to only come back later to suggest their company your comments on this policy are welcome!

local splash scam artists- aggressive sales agents

AUTHOR: Debby - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, April 30, 2014

Did you seriously just compare local splash to an accountant and a tax preparer?

What takes not five minutes but possibly a few days considering how long it will take for Google and Yahoo and bing to send you the confirmation letter for your business and maybe a few more days to get it all rolling and then you're on the first page but it doesn't take any longer than that!!!!

The fact that your company charges $200 a month is a scam ! they stretch the service out leading you to believe its a lifetime commitment for there questionable services... It's a scam !! When I told the local splash rep exactly what I thought she was mad and yelled at me, she said, "do you think this process is one day"!!! I said, no but it for d**n sure shouldn't take longer than 7 business days.

Thank god I have American Express platinum- that company can't accidentally turn the auto pay back on (like they e done to sooooo many others) and I'm filing a dispute for the first $200 I spent for no services rendered.

#1 UPDATE Employee

Local Splash is the Real Deal

AUTHOR: Local Splash - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, September 15, 2011

The author of the complaint, while somewhat amusing; also speaks the truth. What we do at Local Splash is something that can be done by the individual business owner- but not in 5 minutes as this author states. Business owners can also file their own taxes and not use a CPA- but not in 5 minutes.

My point is that companies (large & small) outsource services regularly from accounting, payroll, and and a host of other duties that can bog down the productivity of the entrepreneur- We are a service company that is exceptionally successful at performing Search Engine Optimization for business owners who would rather devote their time to their craft.

Local Splash was voted as the 84th fastest growing company in America by Inc. Magazine. We are also rated #3 on topseo.com- a non biased rating service.  Local Splashhas had over 2900% growth in a 6 year period. Companies that have such success- especially in this economy, tend to be the real deal.
