Whitespark Local Citation Finder vs. Yelp for Business

We have a client base within our organization of about ~5,000, so it can be difficult to keep track of all of their marketing status/standings. The Whitespark Local Citation Finder removes the aspect of human error and ensures that we are providing fast, reliable results for thousands of our clients. Being able to see our competitor's citation summary is a large advantage, not other products such as this provides.

Our company was one of the top rated businesses for the services that we provide in the area. We cancelled our subscription to promote on Yelp. Yelp deleted A LOT of valid genuine reviews that were left by our customers, that dropped our rating way down in my opinion

• The information within the finder is very accurate, which eliminates us having to dig through the internet for citations.
• The reports are automated for you, so there's no extra work on the user's end.

• One small improvement I'd recommend is creating the ability to connect to 3rd party platforms, such as Google Data Studio

We have used BrightLocal in the past, which was a great platform. The biggest difference between Whitespark and BrightLocal is its usability. BrightLocal can be difficult to navigate, while Whitespark is much more straightforward and easily navigatable. Within our large organization, we also use the Whitespark Rank Tracker, so being able to utilize multiple Whitespark products streamlines a lot of our processes.

One of the lowest. We have invested in other Marketing businesses.

• The positive ROI has been seen through our client's renewal %. Since we are able to provide accurate reporting, they trust the work that is presented to them more than not.

• Reaching new customers in the area
• Losing customers due to Yelp deleting valid 5 star reviews I believe
