Company summary

Every fact on this page names its source and the date it was checked. Where a claim cannot be supported, it does not appear.

Advice Local at advicelocal.com sells managed local-listing work: provider-run creation, claiming and ongoing optimisation of business records — name, address, phone, hours, categories and photos — through manual submissions and APIs, distributed across national, local and niche directories, maps and data feeds. Stated services include Google Business Profile Sync for active listings and optional legal and healthcare vertical submissions.

Buyers are local businesses, brands and agencies, including multi-location operations run through a white-label dashboard with baseline scans, service ordering and per-client progress tracking, with monthly client reports sent by automatic email. Pricing is custom-quoted through a demo or phone discussion; no amount, minimum commitment, term, billing currency or tax treatment is published.

The website's disclaimer names Advice Interactive Group LLC, and its history traces the group to 2009 and the Advice Local name to a 2016 rebrand of Local Site Submit; the current contracting entity and registration status are unverified, and a 2015 SEC-filed letter about the group records conditional acquisition intent rather than a completed deal. The privacy page's 2016 contact address is historical; current contact is the McKinney, Texas address and phone numbers in the site footer.

Where they do well

Advice Local is a managed listing service for local businesses, agencies and multi-location brands. Provider staff create, claim and maintain business records — name, address, phone, hours, categories and photos — through manual submissions and APIs, distributing them across national, local and niche directories, maps and data feeds, with legal and healthcare vertical add-ons available. Agencies work through a white-label dashboard with baseline scans, service ordering and per-client progress tracking, and clients receive monthly reports by automatic email. Ongoing accuracy maintenance is part of the stated offer, and a linked eight-page sample report shows the visibility scoring and status format buyers can expect.

Where they can improve

Every engagement is custom-quoted through a demo or phone discussion: no public price, minimum commitment, term, billing currency or tax treatment is published, so none of those can be compared before that call. Cancellation and renewal mechanics, listing ownership and credential export after cancellation, and remedies for rejected or lost listings are not published, as are per-directory approval rights and any guaranteed live-listing output. The sample report mostly shows 2023 rows, so it demonstrates format rather than current delivery, and the current contracting entity and registration status still need confirmation before signing.

Read the full ranking

How the position is calculated: on each eligible ranking, rated providers are ordered by Service Fit Score only. That order is converted to a 0–100 value, and the values are averaged equally across the company's appearances. Rankings that do not include the company are omitted from the average.

Equal Service Fit Scores share the average of the positions they cover. A gap under 0.5 points is a tie: shared rank, alphabetical order, no hidden tie-breaker.

Contact details
The current site footer gives 5900 S. Lake Forest Dr. #200, McKinney, TX 75070 with 855-714-7634 and 214-310-1356.

Named operator and team
The website's informational disclaimer names Advice Interactive Group LLC. The team page names Bernadette Coleman as CEO, Tom Coleman as CFO, Justin Liles as CPO, Harvard Young as CTO, and account, fulfilment and support staff. Titles are the company's own statements; confirm the contracting entity before signing.

Brand history
The company's own history traces Advice Interactive Group to 2009 and Local Site Submit to 2011, renamed Advice Local in 2016; the timeline ends in 2018. That is brand narrative, not an incorporation date or current ownership evidence.
SourceAdvice Local About Us
Filing record
A March 11, 2015 SEC-filed letter describes Advice Interactive Group, LLC as a Texas limited liability company and proposes an acquisition conditional on due diligence and definitive agreements. It records conditional intent from 2015, not a completed acquisition or current registration.

Reporting evidence
The pricing page promises monthly reports with automatic client email and real-time progress and live-status views. The linked eight-page white-label sample report (v2.2.1) shows visibility-score components, listing statuses, links and third-party detection limits, but mostly contains 2023 rows with some 2018 dates, so it shows the report format, not current delivery.

Delivery limits
The exact current directory roster and any contracted listing count are not published; service copy retains legacy aggregator and assistant names. Real-time submission wording is not a universal live-listing deadline, and per-directory approval, exclusions and guaranteed live or linked outputs are unconfirmed; confirm them before ordering.
