Why Rio SEO is the best local listing management platform there is.
Pros
- Their software is really amazing and does the job well and in a routine manner.
- Their support staff is beyond amazing, hands down the best support I've gotten from any company in any industry.
- The proactively find issues and bring them to our attention so we can work with our clients on getting results.
- The renewal process is painless and they help us with reporting to build a case for renewal and retaining the client.
Cons
- The dashboard could be a bit more user-friendly. It takes some training to get used to.
- Keys/legends in the sidebar and in exports to help explain what different sections are for the "laymen" that aren't in this industry 24/7.
- Having a "suggested changes" like what Moz.com/local has in their backend for photos/additional categories. Something that can help the user be more proactive rather than "here's where you're at" a "here's what you can do to improve" would help.
Return on Investment
- They have helped us retain several big clients over the years which in turn has helped bring in several other clients.
- Their tools allow us, a small boutique agency, to operate like a big agency.
- Our local listing clients have been much happier with our switch to RIO which has allowed us to focus on other areas for them instead of just the syndication.
