What do people look at when choosing one establishment over another? Most of the time they make their decision based on online reviews and rankings. These rankings are based on information from various recommendation services and review websites.
One of the fastest-growing recommendation platforms in Canada right now is Nicelocal, which has a database of about 1.7 million establishments, from medical centers to consumer service companies. The website’s monthly audience is over seven million people – that’s almost a fifth of the entire Canadian population, including children and adults.
Nicelocal allows customers to view companies’ cards, familiarize themselves with their services, and, most importantly, rate and review them. Companies are then ranked based on this data. Higher-ranked companies appear first on recommendation lists, and their cards are displayed above those of other companies.
Keep in mind that new companies are added to Nicelocal automatically, so business owners don’t have to contact Nicelocal or provide them with any data – all the information about a given company is gathered from public data. So is Nicelocal legit? Absolutely, and it’s 100% legal too, since it doesn’t violate any laws at all.
And if a company still isn’t on Nicelocal, its owner can create a Nicelocal card for their business independently.
Benefits for businesses
Having your company on Nicelocal is one more way to advertise yourself to potential clients and promote your services. Even if your company hasn’t signed a promotion or service contract with Nicelocal, its card will still work and bring in more calls from clients.
It’s worth noting that Nicelocal is optimized for Google, so the website is indexed extremely well by the search engine. Nicelocal listing appear among the top results for thousands of key search queries.
You can use Nicelocal’s free Fast Start option to evaluate the service, but if you want to get a steady influx of new clients, we recommend switching to a Premium or Gold account.
Premium is the best plan for your business
A premium account costs only CAD $79 per month. This plan gives you the following benefits:
- Expanded page-editing functions. A business owner can add and delete photos and keep the information about their services up to date. A Premium account also lets you make your card stand out visually in search results, which will get more users to notice it.
- You’ll get a “Nicelocal seal of approval,” which will increase potential clients’ trust in your establishment.
- Your card will appear higher in the catalog.
- Your business’s card won’t have any of your competitors’ banners on it, while your competitors’ cards will still have similar banners. This means that more Nicelocal users will see information about your company, which increases the chance they will visit your card and perform a target action such as calling you or going to your website.
Working with Nicelocal reviews
A basic Fast Start account allows you to respond to messages from users, but a Premium account also lets you dispute negative reviews. This means that business owners can send Nicelocal a well-founded request to delete a dishonest or unfair review.
Nicelocal’s moderators will then investigate the circumstances under which the review was written and analyze the business owner’s arguments. If they determine that the review truly does not correspond to reality, it can be deleted from the establishment’s card.
This allows businesses to take control of their online reputation, facilitate a more constructive dialog with users, and show clients that they care about long-term relationships.
On top of that, a Premium account also provides high-quality customer service, including fast responses when contacting support and the ability to resolve issues related to access, uploading and editing content, configuration, and more in a timely manner.
A Premium account is the perfect combination of price, quality, functionality, and results. You’ll get an eye-catching card for your business, comprehensive services for promoting it, and the ability to react to reviews. This strategy will make your company more visible online and attract your target audience, which will lead to extra revenue.
