Complaint #1: Too Expensive

The most common ReachLocal complaint is pricing. At $500+/mo, many small business owners feel they are not getting value proportional to cost — especially compared to alternatives that start at $39/month.

Complaint #2: Long Contracts

ReachLocal requires annual contracts with significant cancellation penalties. Many business owners report feeling trapped and unable to leave even when results are disappointing.

Complaint #3: Poor Results

A significant number of ReachLocal reviews mention that promised results — more leads, better Google rankings, more phone calls — did not materialize despite months of service.

Complaint #4: Customer Service

Rotating account managers and slow response times are frequently cited. Many clients report their account manager changed multiple times with no continuity in their marketing strategy.
