Mobile App Development Review from Dubie Bacino
iQlance was a great team to work with. They were able to meet our timeline. They are great at technology, they know what they are doing. It has been a great experience overall. I highly recommend iQlance to the people looking for overseas company. They can handle things professionally, meet the deadlines and understand requirements. I actually got a chance to visit iQlance team in person; their knowledge of technology and their personalities were great. Thank you iQlance for the hardwork, we look forward to work with you on our next project.
Project Management Review from Darcy McQuaid
The work IQ Lance has done for us has been absolutely phenomenal, meeting all deadlines with exceptional quality. Over the past year and a half, the collaboration with Crunal and IQ Lance has been outstanding. They were brought on board as our technical partner to handle the development side of our projects. Throughout this period, they have met all their deadlines, and the staff has been extremely friendly. The quality of the final product has been exactly as we envisioned and desired. Crunal, specifically as our project manager, has gone above and beyond. He has been incredible, acting as a translator between our business objectives and the technical team at IQ Lance. His efforts have been crucial in ensuring that our goals are clearly communicated and effectively implemented. What I appreciate the most about IQ Lance is their ability to meet deadlines and deliver high-quality work. The staff's friendliness and Crunal's exceptional project management skills have been invaluable to our success.

I hired JQ Design Labs to create a simple, professional but unique logo - they came up with something I absolutely love.I asked them to re-work my website so it was more tailored to the work I want to do from now until I retired. The new website is perfect.I asked them to design and order business cards that were more modern and easy for seniors to read. They nailed it perfectly.

I had the pleasure of working with Anthony and his team at Maximize for the past five years, and I cannot express enough how transformative their work has been for my business. When I first approached Anthony with just an idea sketched on a piece of paper, he quickly demonstrated his expertise and vision. Within three months, he turned my concept into a tangible reality.From start to finish, Anthony and his team were exceptionally dedicated, working around the clock to ensure that every detail was meticulously addressed. They created an incredible e-commerce platform, expertly designing both the front end and back end, and seamlessly handling all aspects of our marketing.I couldnt ask for a better company or team to help drive my business forward. The professionalism and commitment displayed by everyone at Maximize are truly commendable. They are always available to assist, regardless of the time of day or even on weekends, making the entire process not only productive but also enjoyable.I highly recommend Maximize and the amazing people who work there. They are a pleasure to collaborate with, and Im grateful for the significant impact they've had on my business.

axiusSoftware Reviews & Testimonials
Web Development Review from JC Cameron
The creation of the front and back ends of our client's insurance product was the main responsibility of axiusSoftware. Angular and.Net running on Azure were used in its construction. Axius Software was first placed in an awkward situation as they had to interact with an already-existing back-end API. They had to enter, study the code, and go to work developing what they already had. But the team did a great job of taking that API into account and creating a platform that satisfied my client's expectations.We can't ask for much more from axiusSoftware; both our customer and their insurance agents considered this was a spectacular launch and a superb product.Ultimately, the most important thing is the outcome. axiusSoftware has continually surpassed our expectations in this project as well as others. Their outcomes have consistently been outstanding.
Mobile App Development Review from Brian Burke
We secured axiusSoftware as one of our engineering collaborators. When I joined the company a little over a year ago, our engineering resources were quite junior. I have to improve our capacity for architecture development.AxiusSoftware uses React Native, Mongo DB for backend processing, and Node and Nest middle layer APIs to construct mobile and online applications. We asked them to step in and take over our current engineers' application development responsibilities. They then reviewed the applications and platforms, and we made some architectural adjustments. As a result, they began working on our products' essential feature development cycles.In terms of features, families may plan activities and appointments using the app to manage the care of senior citizens. It keeps important data, like financial information, medication information, and medical information, that would be needed to assist them. It also provides family members with updates on the well-being and development of their loved ones.I consider AxiusSoftware to be generally bright, diligent, and skilled in communication. They also have a strong commitment to our company's and our goods' success. We haven't encountered any major problems with their work overall.Strong and effective project managers are available at axiusSoftware. For planning, backlog maintenance, and daily standups and sprint ceremonies, we utilize Slack, Zoom, and Google Meet.They are really talented and committed.

Shi En Liang's Review Sourced from Google
We’ve been working with Best Marketing for a few months now, and I’ve honestly been really impressed.From the start, they’ve shown a lot of professionalism and a genuine desire to help our business grow. What stood out to me is that they don’t just give you some standard agency template—they took time to understand our business, did their homework, and put together strategies that actually fit what we’re trying to do.I really appreciate the regular updates, the way they keep testing and adjusting things to improve results. It's more than we could could handle on our own, with the lack of expertise and time.They’ve taken a load off our plate—things like ad optimisation and SEO, but now I know they’ve got it handled. That’s freed us up to focus on other areas.The team is sharp, organised, and just really nice to work with. It honestly feels like having an extra partner by our side who’s motivated, reliable, and genuinely wants to see us do well.Thank you Best Marketing team!

Jan kaltenbacher's Review Sourced from Google
Unfortunately, I was duped by an "AI-generated offer" that wasn't meaningful, but rather by the agreements made during the initial meeting with the owners.I spent over 10,000 Swiss francs on a form code that a layperson could create themselves in a day using ChatGPT, and I got a completely user-unfriendly website with no text and countless errors.The two owners constantly tried to sell me new, expensive, and time-bound packages for the completion and continued maintenance of the website.I have now terminated the collaboration.No reasonable solution was offered, and a partial refund of the amount already paid is out of the question.Extremely disappointed.

Brandon Miller's Review Sourced from Google
Eclipse took over after another company had been managing our SEO for eight months without a single ranking change. The difference wasn't just the results, Mike actually explained what had gone wrong and why certain pages weren't indexing properly. We knew what we were paying for from that point forward.
Justin Dollins's Review Sourced from Google
We'd been sending people to our website for years and never once had someone contact us through it. Eclipse looked at the pages and pointed out exactly why, the content wasn't matching what people actually typed into Google. The SEO company rebuilt our approach around real search intent and the inquiry volume is finally consistent.
Dmorea Garrett's Review Sourced from Google
We were hesitant to invest in SEO services because we'd heard mixed things from other business owners. Eclipse made the case clearly, set realistic expectations, and delivered on them. Our organic rankings are the best they've been and we're not relying as heavily on paid ads anymore.

Everything You Need to Know Before Hiring a Local SEO Agency
Why should I hire a local SEO company?
You should hire a local search engine optimization company because local discovery is high-intent and increasingly complex.
Local search is one of the most common ways people discover businesses.
Around 46% of all Google searches have local intent, which represents billions of daily queries for nearby products and services.
In BrightLocal's 2025 consumer search research, 72% of consumers effectively use Google products for search when Google Search, Safari, and Google Maps are combined; 45% say Google is their default platform for local search, 15% start directly in Google Maps, and 20% use maps products as their default local search tool.
On top of that, 39% of consumers estimate that at least 41% of their searches are about finding local businesses. Local SEO companies help you win that visibility where buying intent is already strong.
A local company is also valuable because Google's local rankings are not something you can buy.
Google says local search results are mainly based on relevance, distance, and prominence, and that there is "no way to request or pay for a better local ranking."
Google also states that more reviews, stronger ratings, complete business information, and links from other websites can improve local visibility.
In practice, that means local SEO agencies deliver structured execution across Google Business Profile, local citations, website updates, technical SEO, and content marketing rather than relying on guesswork.
Local searches often turn into real-world actions.
Google reports that 76% of people who search on smartphones for something nearby visit a business within a day, and 28% of those searches result in a purchase.
Rio SEO's 2024 study of 1,000 U.S. respondents found that 90% conduct online searches daily, 99% rely on Google platforms for local discovery, 82% frequently search for addresses or directions, and U.S. consumers are willing to travel only about 8 miles on average for local goods and services.
Hiring the best local SEO agency matters even more now as local discovery is spreading beyond traditional search.
BrightLocal's 2026 review survey found that 97% of consumers read reviews for local businesses, the average consumer checks 6 different review sites, 68% will only use a business with 4.0+ stars, and 31% require 4.5+ stars.
A strong agency helps you manage visibility, reviews, and consistency across this fragmented landscape while providing the monthly report and transparent reporting that decision-makers expect.
How long does local SEO take to improve Google search and Google Maps rankings?
Local SEO improvements of Google Search and Google Maps usually take 3-6 months to produce noticeable ranking gains, although competitive industries and major cities can take longer.
SEO changes require time for search engines to crawl, process, and evaluate signals such as Google Business Profile optimization, local citations, keyword relevance, and website quality.
Most campaigns that local SEO companies run follow a gradual timeline.
Early improvements often appear within 4-8 weeks after business listings and website issues are fixed, while stronger ranking growth typically appears within 3-6 months once content updates, review growth, and authority signals accumulate.
For highly competitive markets or industries like home services, ranking in the top of the Google Maps local pack can take 6-12 months of consistent optimization and link building.
Do local SEO services work for businesses in competitive cities like New York City, San Diego, or Atlanta?
Yes. Local SEO services can be effective even in highly competitive markets such as New York City, San Diego, or Atlanta. However, rankings often require a stronger SEO strategy and more time.
Consumer behavior shows that local discovery heavily relies on search engines and maps. For example, 97% of people search online to find local businesses, and 64% use Google Business Profile listings to find contact information such as phone numbers or addresses.
In addition, 70% of consumers use Google Maps to search for nearby businesses, and 86% look up business locations directly in Google Maps, according to SEO.com.
Appearing in Google Maps and local search results gives businesses direct access to large volumes of high-intent customers, which local SEO agencies understand and are therefore able to tailor their strategies accordingly.
Competition in large cities mainly affects how much optimization is required, not whether local SEO services work.
The most valuable placements, such as the Google Local Pack, receive a significant share of user attention.
Studies show 44% of local searchers click results in the Local 3-Pack, while businesses listed there generate 93% more actions (calls, clicks, and directions) than businesses ranked lower.
Because 80% of U.S. consumers search for local businesses online at least once per week, the visibility gained through strong local SEO, optimized Google Business Profile listings, and consistent local citations can generate substantial traffic and new local customers, even in highly competitive urban markets.
How do I find the best local SEO agency?
Finding the best local SEO company is a critical investment in your business's online success. Here's a guide to help you:
- Clarify your business goals, whether you need local SEO to improve rankings, increase visibility, or enhance your online reputation.
- Conduct a comprehensive search of local SEO companies with established reputations and positive client feedback.
- Scrutinize their service offerings and ensure they align with your needs.
- Request references from past clients. Speak with these clients to understand their experiences and results.
- Look for a company that offers tailored solutions rather than a one-size-fits-all strategy. Prioritize companies with local familiarity.
- Check if the cost/pricing structure aligns with your budget. Consider the value and results you're likely to receive as well.
- Conduct interviews with shortlisted candidates to get to know them better.
- Finalize your decision. After picking the best local SEO agency, carefully review the contract terms, including any hidden fees, contract duration, and cancellation policies.
What questions should I ask before hiring an agency?
Here's a list of questions you can ask when considering a local SEO agency:
Its Relevant Background
- How long has your company been providing local SEO services?
- Can you provide examples of successful local SEO campaigns you've worked on?
- What industries have you primarily helped with local SEO?
- Can you share examples of businesses you've helped succeed with local SEO? How do you tailor strategies to different local markets?
Services and Processes
- What specific local SEO services do you offer?

What is the difference between local SEO and SEO?
The main difference between local SEO and general search engine optimization (SEO) is the geographic focus of the search results.
Search engine optimization aims to improve a website's visibility in Google Search for broad keywords that can attract users from anywhere. It focuses on tactics such as technical SEO, content marketing, and backlink building to rank in global or national search results.
Local SEO focuses on helping a local business appear in local search results, especially in Google Maps and the Google Business Profile listings. It targets location-based queries such as "home services near me" or "web design in New York City," leveraging strategies including Google Business Profile optimization, local citations, and location-specific keyword research.
The difference is important because local search behavior is extremely common:
- About 46% of all Google searches have local intent.
- 86% of people look up business locations on Google Maps, and 42% of local searches click results in the Google Map Pack.
How much do local SEO services cost?
Local SEO services costs vary widely depending on the level of competition, the number of locations, and the scope of search engine optimization work required.
Businesses can expect to pay between $300 and $3,000 per month for most small and mid-sized businesses targeting local search results in Google Search and Google Maps.
According to multiple local SEO company sources, businesses in the United States usually pay a monthly retainer model:Â
- Basic packages: $300-$900/month for Google Business Profile optimization, local citations, and basic keyword research.
- Mid-tier local SEO services: $600-$2,000/month for technical SEO, content marketing, and broader local search optimization.
- Advanced campaigns: $2,000-$5,000+ per month for competitive markets or multi-location local businesses.
Other pricing models that a local search engine optimization company may offer include:
- Hourly consulting: $75-$250 per hour for SEO specialists.
- One-time projects: $500-$5,000 depending on the scope of the SEO strategy.Â
How do local SEO companies measure results and provide transparent reporting?
They measure performance using data from Google Search, Google Maps, and Google Business Profile to track visibility in local search results. Core metrics include keyword rankings, website traffic, and user engagement with listings.
Local SEO agencies monitor actions such as profile views, website clicks, phone calls, and direction requests through Google Business Profile Insights to determine whether an SEO strategy is improving visibility and attracting local customers.
To ensure transparent reporting, agencies typically deliver monthly reports that show trends in rankings, traffic, conversions, and reputation signals such as review growth and average star ratings. Reports may also include conversion data, like form submissions or phone calls, to show how search visibility translates into real leads.
How does Google Business Profile optimization improve local search rankings?
Google Business Profile optimization helps businesses rank higher in local search results and Google Maps by improving the relevance, completeness, and credibility of a listing. Google uses relevance, distance, and prominence to determine which businesses appear in local results, and an optimized profile helps signal that a local business is active and trustworthy.
Optimized profiles include accurate categories, services, photos, business descriptions, and consistent contact information.Â
According to Google, listings with photos receive 42% more requests for directions and 35% more website clicks than businesses without images. Additionally, review management plays a key role: businesses with strong ratings and frequent reviews tend to rank higher and attract more local customers.
