LocaliQ vs. monday CRM

LocaliQ is phenomenal at s multichannel marketing approach. It is incredibly effective and efficient to run all of these simultaneous campaigns through one company. As a small nonprofit, we would not have been able to have the reach LocaliQ gave us if we had opted to use multiple companies. It would have been too much for our staff to handle.

I think it's a fantastic tool for a small business or startup. It has many of the same features as other CRMs, and my favorite thing about it are the pre-built Sales Dashboards that generate your forecast, pipeline, deal value, everything you would expect to see when analyzing your sales efforts. I think the parts of it that aren't as scalable are the outbound sales efforts with email. I don't think you can set up drip campaigns or automated workflows through monday the way you can through HubSpot and Salesforce.

• Perhaps individual archive boards for individual boards - sometime's it's difficult to locate an archived item to account when something is done so until projects are finished, I often leave items on the board when it could be 'cleaner'
• More color shades for groups and labels
• Keep adding new widgets for dashboards to provide an even greater overview

Overall usability pretty good. If we would have gotten better return on our advertising dollar I would have continued with them - their dashboard was very easy to use and the recaps they provided were helpful. They try to put data in bite-sized pieces for the client that are understandable (unlike google's reporting page itself which can be a bit difficult to understand at times). Their team was friendly, semi-responsive, and provided explanations when requested

It was a little tricky when I first set up all of my automations and to kind of navigate my board and create it initially. So now that it's set up it's super easy to use so that's why I gave a seven in this rating.

We only ever needed to us the FAQs and quick google searches as everything we needed to do was very straightforward and intuitive to do. We found the simple and easy design and interface helped prevent having any issues. A colleague did need to reach out for help and stated that it was quick and useful

It was very easy to start using. It is also safe to use lots of trial and error whilst setting up.

LocaliQ is more economical that marketing agencies we've used in the past. Our dollar goes farther. We've also used services from phonebook providers that were getting into the online advertising field. At the time, it was just being introduced so the reps knowledge on the topic was quiet limited.

I personally perfer monday's interface to Asana's, although they are both very similar in concept. I also feel that monday is better suited for cross-functional project management, which is something necessary to the way Dr. Squatch operates. Asana may be better suited to companies who have smaller teams and a simpler scope of project management, but for a company with the complexity of ours, monday's customizable features and ease of visibility was the better suited platform for our needs.
