I've been using Local Image to help with monthly email newsletters and social media posts for about the last year and I am so impressed. If I have questions or need to edit something they want to post they are very quick at getting back to me and addressing my concerns. Overall, they are extremely professional and I'm happy to be working with them.

Working with Local Image Co has been such a wonderful experience! As a creative person I never felt overlooked in the design process and having NO CLUE about back end SEO details they answered all my most basic questions. I truly felt like I had a team working for my benefit who listened to my needs and advised me from a highly educated place.

Local Image Co. listened to what we wanted and then produced a website that we love. The next thing we knew they had upped our social media game and made our website #1. The best part is that Holly and Amber are good hearted people, easy to work with, and they really care about Maine and building community.

We LOVE how quickly our partnership with Local Image Co has enhanced and promoted our business! It's only been a few months and our "traffic" has increased dramatically which has brought us more clients. We are so pleased, as it's our goal to help as many people feel and live their best! Amber and Holly are so fun, techno savvy, creative and really spend time listening and getting to know your business so they can market it in the best way possible. We have a lot of laughs along the way and that, to me, is priceless! Thanks gals!
