    These guys left a message that sounded like they were representing ******. "An urgent problem related to your ****** business listing...." They answer the phone, not saying who they are. When I asked, they said Local Search Group LLC. and then started asking questions about my business. When I said I didn't know anything about them and wasn't answering questions until I did, they hung up. I think that tells you everything you need to know about these scammers.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We want to be very clear - we are not affiliated with ******, nor do we claim to be. If there was any confusion during the call, we sincerely apologize.

    Our goal is to help small businesses manage and optimize their ****** Business Listings, and we do identify ourselves as Local Search Group LLC when asked. We do not continue conversations with individuals who prefer not to engage, and we certainly don't force anyone to answer questions or commit to anything.

    It sounds like there may have been a misunderstanding or even a mix-up with another company using similar tactics. We do not tolerate deceptive practices and are always happy to verify who we are, provide our website, or walk through our services when asked.

    If youd like to clarify your experience or ensure it was actually our company who called you, feel free to reach out directly. Were always open to respectful communication.

    One thing I know about a crappy ************* phone scam room is if your employees hang up on potential sales simply because they aren't stupid and ask questions like " what is the name of your company" you probably won't last long. Especially when your try to sell people on a FAKE service that anyone who has a registered business can do themselves. Buyer Beware. Said part is they will continue until they **** enough people off or get raided. 99% of S. Florida phone rooms are full of kids in drug treatment or halfway houses. That is a FACT. Please learn real sales and try again. This company and others like it will never ever last.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts - though were a bit confused by some of the claims. You mentioned being hung up on right after asking the name of our company yet somehow knew exactly who to file a complaint against. ??


    To be clear, weve been in business for nearly a decade, proudly helping thousands of local business owners take control of their online presence. Yes, the tools exist for people to manage things themselves - but just like taxes, legal filings, or marketing, many prefer to hire professionals who specialize in getting better, faster results.


    As for your comments about our team: we dont know where that stereotype came from, but its simply not true. We hire and train professionals who are expected to treat every business owner with respect, regardless of the outcome of the call.


    We get it...sales calls arent for everyone. But calling something a scam just because you werent interested isnt fair. If there was a specific issue, wed be happy to address it. Until then, well stay focused on doing great work for the clients who actually know us.

     

    Wishing you well,

    The Team at Local Search Group

    They stole money from my bank account without my permission. I never asked for their help and never contacted them.

    LSG has been managing my ****** business listing since 2020. Their service has been consistently professional and prompt. They built my listing with attention to detail and have maintained it effectively, ensuring my business remains visible and accessible online. Their team is responsive to any queries or updates I need, making the process seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend LSG for anyone looking to enhance their online presence.

    I have a completely different experience than others reviewing here. Yes, I was skeptical at first, but gave Local Search Group a shot, seeing I needed a lot of help. They got my listing up and running in just under 3 weeks when I wasnt able to myself in over 4 months. Ive had no issues contacting them (which is big for me because I have a lot of questions). They answer each time I call. Thanks again Local Search Group!

    This company is a total ****. After taking my money and claiming a few times they were working on the problem of getting my website listed properly in ****** Search listings, I called them to account and they stopped responding. Their customer service number no longer works (coincidentally after I tried calling them to ask for their corporate address in order to file a BBB complaint). BBB reports the company is out of business or their listed address is not working. What bunch of ******** and *******.

    Dear ****************,

    We appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns you've raised in your recent review. Firstly, we value your feedback and take every customer experience seriously.

    We understand your frustration regarding the situation with our services and the subsequent chargeback initiated with your credit card company. As we've previously communicated, this case is presently in arbitration due to the chargeback involving services that were diligently provided as per our agreed-upon terms.

    To safeguard our merchant processing rights, we've taken the necessary steps by providing your bank with comprehensive documentation. This documentation includes a detailed account of the work executed on your behalf, as well as the contractual agreement you willingly signed. This agreement explicitly outlines the non-refundable nature of funds once the marketing program has commenced, a clause agreed upon without coercion.

    We'd like to reiterate our commitment to resolving this matter amicably. Initially, upon your request for a refund, we were willing to halt the $149 monthly billing until you had recovered the initial costs of entering our program, effectively offering approximately 10 months of complimentary marketing services.

    We value your business and aim for customer satisfaction. We genuinely regret any inconvenience caused and remain open to resolving this issue promptly and equitably.

    Please feel free to reach out to us directly at our *************************** if you'd like to discuss this matter further or require additional information.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    Sincerely,

    The Team at Local Search Group
