Vantaggi

Access to technology/software, exposure to hyper-local SEO, great coworkers, insight into other departments/finances. My direct manager was always great and pleasant.

Svantaggi

They don't invest in current employees, they expect top-notch above and beyond work all the time. My workload was almost always around the 60 hour mark in my 40 hour work week. For product team members (SEO, Content, Paid Media), you're expected to fix issues that arise from other departments due to incorrectly sold packages, errors from web department, etc. and if you don't, you're grilled by upper management. The company tends to get ideas in their heads, fulfill product development (often without much testing), then decide that they're discontinuing that product. They dangle opportunities in front of you and tell you to wait until your year anniversary for promotions/pay raises only to find out you're keeping the same title and only getting a 4% bump in pay. They don't give you access to the proper equipment to perform your job duties. Computers are always 5+ years old and too slow to run certain necessary applications. If you enjoy working from home, know you will be judged by executives for taking your allowed 2 days/week even though some of them are fully remote. Their new business direction is very bad. Everyone's roles are being merged into the same thing with management that doesn't know how to perform all those positions' individual roles. The CEO made everyone move upstairs in the office so he could play hardball with the landlord for his new lease negotiation. The CEO constantly talks about OpenClaw, but does not give resources for team members to access it. What they do have setup is very partial and causes many more issues for product team members to fix. You accrue PTO very slowly and benefits are not good. They changed to be very expensive for those that are not single individuals. Only 2 weeks of paid leave for p/maternity (new 2026). Depressing office environment. Very cliquish. Its obvious that Sales and Tech departments are the favorites for leadership and constantly seem to not have the same rules as product team members or strategy team members. If you love nepotism, its very rewarded with this company. If you count on getting some fresh-out-of-school experience, being micromanaged by leadership, love doing busy work, ok with lower than average pay for the amount of work you do, then this is the company for you. If you count on getting cost of living raises, title promotions, good benefits, accommodations for personal situations, access to certifications/trainings, building a strong career at this company, look somewhere else.

Vantaggi

This company is amazing. The leadership team is strong, supportive, and genuinely cares about the culture they are building. I would take some of the negative reviews with a grain of salt, as they may come from former employees who were unhappy with being held accountable for their performance. I found it to be a fun and rewarding place to work, with competitive pay and plenty of opportunities to grow. One thing I appreciated was that leadership set clear expectations and held employees accountable, which helped create a high-performing environment. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would recommend the company to others considering a career there.

Svantaggi

Only thing would say is that the food downstairs sucks.

Vantaggi

Some of the employees are true gems that will help you improve and be a better human.

Svantaggi

I worked here for several years and left with mixed feelings. There are genuinely talented people at this company, but structural and leadership issues held it back in meaningful ways. Direct management was often ineffective and difficult to work with. Compensation increases were consistently underwhelming, and it became clear over time that meaningful pay bumps were reserved for those in favor with leadership, frequently disguised as title changes rather than real advancement. The CEO's fixation on in-office presence over actual results signaled a fundamental distrust of employees and reflected a broader culture that prioritized optics over outcomes. The sales team operated with too little oversight, which created persistent friction with other departments. Go Local has a tendency to reward difficult client behavior rather than address it, which only encouraged more of it. This made not only the day to day, but also evenings for the poor souls who had to manage the fallout. Product development was too heavily influenced by individual client requests rather than a coherent long-term vision. The web department and leadership has a habit of chasing new projects and features before stabilizing what already exists. This spreads the team thin. Low performers were given far too many chances, with some able to coast without consequence for extended periods. This eroded morale for those carrying the weight and sent the wrong message about what was expected.
