Locora vs. the other options
Locora vs.
A typical web design agency
Do you need a new website — or a better system for turning searches into customers?
A traditional web design agency may be exactly what you need if your primary goal is replacing or redesigning your website.
Locora approaches the problem differently. We see the website as one part of a larger customer-acquisition journey.
The big difference
Typical website project
- Design
- Build

Locora
- Search demand

- Business profile
- Website

- Customer

- More visibility
The website isn't the finish line.It's part of the system.

A web design agency may be right if:
You mainly need:
- A visual redesign
- A website rebuild
- A new brand experience
- A defined web-development project
Locora may be right if:
Your actual question is:
- How do more local customers find us?
- Why aren't we appearing when people search?
- Why does our traffic not turn into calls?
- How do we improve our Google presence?
- How do we generate more reviews?
- How do we know what is producing leads?
- How do we connect all of this together?
Don't just rebuild the website. Improve the journey that brings customers to it.
