According to TopSEOs recent release of the SEO firms in the North America, ReachLocal is ranked in the top 10 SEO firms. If you have been reading my blog, or site for any length of time it should be clear to you that ReachLocal is not in the SEO business. With that stated looking at the ReachCast product and the SEO benefits that the product has, based strictly on the design & implementation of the Cast Platform, SEO is a strong benefit of the product.
ReachCast was designed to be a social media product, however customers that have used the Cast product have seen the SEO benefits take on a value proposition of it’s own, in fact so much that ReachLocal is being recognized at the 8th best company for SEO. Please see the image below.

Today I received a morning email from the new Denver Office manager, and it was one of those emails that I always knew, yet I have let it escape my normal presentation every day. I thought I’d put it on my blog as a reminder that all of the following are true.
I have heard and seen some crazy things from our competition lately. Not only CRAZY in what they CLAIM to do, but also what they say WE DO!
The ReachLocal story is so powerful, and yet I neglect to share it with potential customers. This changes today!
Hands down a great company to work for, but the awards that ReachLocal continues to win are the icing on the cake for me. I made the decision to work for ReachLocal a few years ago because the technology; in my opinion is nothing short of extraordinary. Everyone sells search now days, but search done right is a very different story. A correctly engineered ReachLocal campaign has proven over and over to me that we can’t be beat in the search arena, not to mention that ReachLocal display can run at CPM’s unheard of in traditional media.
