Anyone know about Yodle or Lighthouse 360?

[Jimbob661]

Just had a company do a sales pitch from a company called Yodle who helps with social media and website referrals to your business. Has anyone had any experience with them?

I have not had any experience with Yodle, but Lighthouse360 basically uses Bolt-On technology products. So, why not just go straight to Bolt-On instead, if that's what you're looking for.

Hello, Nice to meet you. Thanks for questioning the sales pitch from Lighthouse 360. In fact, yes Lighthouse 360 is a licensed reseller of our products. There is absolutely no difference at all between us and them, regarding our products.

 

We also suggest if you have already built a relationship with a Lighthouse 360 sales rep, please don't hesitate in contacting them regarding BOLT ON TECHNOLOGY.

 

Hope this helps.

Never heard of Lighthouse but YODLE sucks. Used them several years ago and my directory listings are still jacked up, even with extensive time trying to correct and using a paid service. Currently using YEXT. They're ok. Pretty easy to use dashboard/interface. Been with them just over a year. Most directory listings are now correct.

It's a Catch 22. There are very few free directory listings anymore. Posting corrections and updates can be very time consuming. So services like YEXT are helpful. The best I understand they don't actually claim the listing but are partnered with directories and do post updates. If you ever terminate service you run the risk of the directories reverting to incorrect info. At this point, I'm staying with YEXT until I figure a better way. I do know that it is imperative for all your address/contact/location information be consistent across all directories and listings or you risk getting scattered in lower rankings.

Just looked up Lighthouse. It's a Yodle app. Me personally, I will not even explore it further because it's Yodle. I would be VERY hesitant about giving Yodle any access to your customer and service data.

I have had better experiences with Yext & Moz. I agree with the sentiments about Yodle:)

Moz is good for NAP congruency. Caveat you have to keep paying them or else all your listings they have changed for you will revert. Its a nominal cost though, something like $100 a year.
