Working at ReachLocal — Reviews by Employees

Been with company 3+ years. I love the products, company. Local management less than stellar, but it is manageable.

THis company is a joke. They do not take care of their employees. I was fired from there some time ago. In the 5 months I was there, I brought in more than they asked. The problem is that the numbers change every month. I should have known this when I seen at least 1 person get fired every month I was at the company. I am currently looking for work, and one of the recruiters informed me that Reach Local is looking to bring in over 700 new Reps. The company's sales force is about 700. What that should tell you is the company hires and fire like it is normal.

Reach also works the heck out of there people. You have to be in the office around 8am, and most nights you will not get home until about 7pm. Be prepared to make phone calls all day long.

The pay for the work you do is why under what it is supposed to be. You are looking at 35K -45K base

Coming from a traditional marketing/advertising background, I noticed more and more that the advertising movement was moving online. This is just one of the many reasons I joined ReachLocal. After the rigorous and thorough training that I went through, I learned the suite of services that I could offer local businesses and I knew right then that I had made the right choice!



No one day is ever the same as the next; it’s always exciting, fresh and yes, at times, challenging. I get to meet new business owners several times a day, talk to them, learn their business and hopefully bring them into the ReachLocal family. I also get to meet with my current clients, further my relationships with them, review their campaigns and discuss the successes they are having. On the flip side, another great thing about ReachLocal is that if we run into a snag (no form of advertising out there is 100% perfect), we have the ability and the make changes quickly and easily AND with a lot of support.



What I would say to any prospect looking to come to ReachLocal is that this is definitely not a 9a-5p job, nor is it a job where you “love ‘em and leave ‘em.” You’re working long hours because you care about your clients, gaining their trust and fostering relationships. There is no end to the income you can receive here, it’s what YOU make of it!

I’ve been a Client Services Consultant with ReachLocal since March of 2008, and a Team Lead for over a year. This is a tremendously exciting company to work for. ReachLocal is on the cutting edge of Internet marketing, and the company has grown significantly during my tenure. I have a two hour commute each day but I’m happy to go to work knowing that I’m with the best in the business and the company is constantly innovating, with new products coming out all the time. It’s hard to keep up sometimes with things changing so quickly but that’s part of the fun of being in this space! The benefits are good, which doesn’t hurt, and I enjoy working with my colleagues and managers. I’m looking forward to having a long career with the company and can’t wait to be a part of what ReachLocal does next!

I’ve just hit my one year anniversary as a Senior Account Manager at ReachLocal and I’m so pleased to be here. I work in an intelligent and humorous environment with personable colleagues whom I enjoy being around and reach out to as knowledgeable resources. Helping our clients navigate the world of SEA and all the other elements required to have a thriving online presence is incredibly fulfilling. It doesn’t hurt to have premium proprietary technology and a skilled Support team behind us either. Most of our clients have not only become partners with us in their marketing efforts, but have also become our friends. My favorite part of working at ReachLocal is to meet with a client and present the tally of how many calls and digital interactions they’ve received from searchers ready to purchase and being fully accountable for every cent it took to make it happen. I’ve watched the businesses we represent open new locations, hire more staff, and launch separate endeavors as a direct result of the revenue my team helped generate. I would highly recommend working for this company for so many reasons – great benefits, management that always works with me to find a solution, and having accessible founders – I’m proud to be helping build the ReachLocal foundation.

I often wondered what would be important to me when seeking a potential employer. The conclusion for me changed over time. When I was younger I wanted to make as much money as possible and preferably as quickly as possible. I never gave much thought to how this would impact my customers. As I matured I found myself wanting to be aligned with a company that would bring fulfillment in other areas, such as truly answering today’s and tomorrow’s questions for business owners, a company with vision, a company that is innovative and lastly one that has an amazing culture. I wanted to go to work every day and feel like it was fun going to work. I wanted to be able to have growth opportunity and give other people the same, based on merit, and also be part of a growing industry. The beauty of where I am now is that I get all that and also something as a bonus, the opportunity to feel like I run my own business. It’s truly an environment where hard work is equally rewarded with earnings. If it were a perfect world…..I guess I would say that the pains of growing so rapidly would be felt less, but at the end of the day I would rather feel growing pains rather than shrinking pains.

I have been employed at ReachLocal for over one year now and I am very happy with my career here. Since we work with the world wide web, things are always changing. You can learn something new almost every hour. The internet changes constantly and our product offerings just keep expanding and improving. That is important to me since I get bored with repetition and welcome challenges to make my life more interesting. I am very passionate about the internet and the power it holds. I think it is the key to every successful business of the future.

I think the best part about working with ReachLocal is my advertisers. I have truly helped so many of them and they appreciate me for that. It gives me great pride and pleasure to be rewarded with a happy client. Happy clients refer more happy clients.

If you are looking for a career opportunity that will grow with the future of the internet, this is a great place to be.

I have worked for ReachLocal since June of 2008. This is by far the best job, company, and team of people that I have ever worked for in my career. ReachLocal has a contagious culture. I have worked in marketing for a few large companies and have never been exposed to a culture like this. We often say we “bleed orange” because we are so passionate about our jobs and our company. It is such a great feeling to work for the best company in the industry. Every day, I am surrounded by talented people, a fun work environment, exciting challenges, and a rewarding career. ReachLocal’s upper management recognizes and appreciates all employees, and whenever possible, promote from within. I'm never leaving!

I have been working at ReachLocal for the last year as a Client Services Consultant. When I was first recruited, I expressed the need to work for a corporation that would help mold me into a strong, knowledgeable and valuable employee. My experience thus far has been exactly that.

The leadership here has been nothing but outstanding. The management in my office has invested a great amount of time in seeing me succeed as an individual in this company. The hard work and energy is contagious and I owe my accomplishments to the leaders who are put there to help you succeed.

I can’t say that my position is easy, but it is challenging and exciting and everyday is a new experience. I get to go to work and interact with 19 different personalities and each day I find myself learning something new. Working as a CSC for ReachLocal is definitely an awarding experience because you have the ability to learn and work in multiple areas of the business.

My favorite thing about working at ReachLocal is the leadership, the product and the overall feeling of being a valued employee. Being new in the corporate world I am glad I have been able to find a home at ReachLocal!

Back in January of 2008, I didn’t find ReachLocal - ReachLocal found me, and I am so happy they did.

I have a background in banking and account management, which doesn’t sound like a good fit for ReachLocal, but they didn’t hire me to sell. I am the office’s Client Services Consultant and my job is to help keep the office running as effectively and efficiently as possible. I support and train the sales reps, meet and speak with existing clients, and help my manager with whatever he needs.

There are two things I really love about ReachLocal: 1.) the day to day business, and 2.) the future of the company. In my role, I wear many hats. Each day brings its own challenges, and I have to decide which hat I need to put on to tackle those challenges. My rewards come in the way of “thank yous” from my sales reps and clients, and I take pride in making a difference to those people.

I am fortunate to say that I don’t wake up dreading to go to work. I get to work for a company that employs the best of the best and is making noise in the industry. I don’t worry about losing my job, and when people ask me what I do for a living, I am excited to tell them.
