Our take
Well executed marketing is generally considered a must for enterprise organizations but a luxury for small businesses. While enterprise organizations have a variety of platforms serving their needs, local businesses typically lack both the technical expertise and resources to execute proper marketing campaigns and convert them into sales.
Onelocal is a platform where local businesses can find tools and expertise to help them bridge this gap. It offers its clients personalised marketing expertise, enterprise-level tools and automation, and customised analysis - promising total coverage of everything needed to outsell the competition.
Dubbed as the Salesforce for local businesses, Onelocal is aiming for Salesforce-type market domination in their niche business area. The company has been quick to find grounding in the SMB world, with funds secured being invested in expanding its suite of offerings as it seeks to grow its list of clientele.
