What an amazing experience I’ve had…

What an amazing experience I’ve had after many years in business and struggling to find a proper company to build me a proper website. I finally found Brodie with local search and I’ve had such a great experience that I also brought my other company along for the ride and got them to build a website for it as well, even though things were going okay with the previous website these guys have just blown it out of the water Thank you so much. Look forward to a prosperous future and highly recommend them

Scammers in broad daylight!!!

Unfortunately I didn't read these reviews till I got caught in the con. Like most of the reviews, I too was lied to. Told later that I was stuck in a 12 month term which was NOT in the verbal or written agreement upon signing, now I'm in the process of lodging a complaint with fair trading and NSW tribunal. I would encourage everyone who was caught in their lies to do the same.

Excellent service and advice when purchasing a new mower. I have been a customer for a few years and had equipment repaired and serviced here. The only Briggs and Stratton true sales, service and parts dealer left in town. All staff are friendly especially Joan.

Terrible Experience – Broken Promises, Zero Accountability with LocalSearch

I engaged LocalSearch (business.localsearch.com.au) in September 2024 to market my cleaning business. Their manager assured me our website would rank on Google’s first page, list our services prominently, and provide Google review cards. I have sent them several emails to ask for update and review cards but there is no response for serveral months, I paid $111 for monthly but all I got were total 3 leads for past six months. I have sent them request to cancel but also just delaying the preocess and then said they won't cancel for the service. They cost me not only the money but also trust and a lot of time. Will not engage with them anymore.

Do not use these people

Do not use these people. I am a tradie struggling to get work after relocating. Localsearch only want your money and have no interest whatsoever in providing you a service. They have no interest in just doing the right thing by you. I was sucked in by Localsearch and when as a result of their ineptitude I had no internet presence or work at all they refused to end the contract of which to date they had not really supplied a thing. So in other words they believed that the contract should be honoured with no leeway for circumstances, BUT only on their side. So i should continue to pay money and they should continue to do nothing. I has my position in a search of local tradies drop from 7th to 29 while these inept people ruined my existence. When I stopped them having control of my google business within 6 months I have it back where it was again and am now finally getting some work. I paid thousands of dollars for a website which is still not built after nearly 2 years. On top of this they have no real internet presence anymore. Bad people!!!

Local Search representative was excellent

Carol Spencer was warm, informed, competent and Australian. I instantly felt comfortable with her explanations of an area I was not familiar with. A great team member for Local Search.
