Google told me today that they DO NOT partner at all with Ad Iq. Ad Iq says they do. This is a company that lies, takes your money and doesn't do what they say they will. It's taken me a year (so far), to undo all their mistakes they made when I floored them.
This people promise full refund of your money if they service don't help and that's not true this company don't want to give me my money back after they just make nothing to help my business don't believe in this people block them they over call and call stay away from this they damage my business I was getting a lot of customers before and now after they work on it is bad now I have to go back to my regular Google ads
Dear Brandon,
We want to assure you that there has been no misappropriation of your funds. When you initially joined our services, we communicated the possibility of securing a prominent position on the front page of your local search results within 90 days.
Despite the fact that you changed the name on your business listing, which does not align with your business license, we have successfully achieved front-page visibility for four of your specified keywords within that time frame. Furthermore, progress is underway for the remaining keywords.
If you have any questions or would like to gain a deeper understanding of how our marketing strategies are benefiting your business, we would be happy to speak with you. Please feel free to reach out, and we'll be happy to address any questions or concerns you may have.
Where should I start? I have a massage business and they would call me and act like a client and schedule an appointment, but never show this happened time and time again just so the percentage of calls would look good then act as if it was because of there ad. My payment is supposed to come out every month on the 22nd … but they take it out whenever they want to. As soon as they open up today I'm DONE! Unprofessional and greedy! I wouldn't recommend to anyone!
The purpose of this business to to try to raise the visibility of your business in a Google search. Basically raise you in the list of results. That in itself does not necessarily bring in addition business. It might, it might not.
The big issue is if you want to cancel, they give you the runaround for hours trying to talk you out of cancelling.
The easiest option, don't start with them in the first place.
Hi John, it's true that we will try to serve as many clients as possible. And to your point, raising a business up in the search results is the objective since it increases the likelihood of reaching new customers. If the search interest in your area is low, then continuing with the program to grow the localization is the next step. In our experience, clients who pursue this strategy and continue with the program ultimately find their market. We strive always to do our best to share this insight with our customers and support it with Google's data on its growth. However, if you feel this process was inordinately long or problematic, we would like to review your account notes and find out why because it should not have taken hours to discuss. At this time, we have been unable to locate an account on file based on the information provided by this platform. We would love for you to call us and provide us with your business name, business phone number, or the name of the primary point of contact so we can locate your account to assist further. 888-402-2347 x1.
I had great reviews but couldn't rank well online until I signed up. Now after a few months I'm ranking well and above all my competition in my area. I was skeptical at first but I'm glad I took a chance with ad.iq and now they have a customer for life!
Hello David,
Thank you for the great review! Nothing makes us happier than a satisfied customer and we're really glad that you are doing well!
They thought they could pull the wool over my eyes. Not so. I've run ads before and worked at microsoft as an sem analyst. I didn't have time to run my own ads and create content but I should have hired someone to do so. The quality assurance cat tried telling me that $300 in ad spend accrued over 4 days. For such a specific and targeted niche as mines, this was a lie. Then he said they didn't do any work because I had asked for a refund. So they didn't do any content production, no ad placement and didn't communicate with me whatsoever. They also didn't even set up my socials correctly. No bio, photos, not even stock photos. For a month of them doing nothing I paid 300. Then this dude had the nerve to go back and forth with me. This is not an ad agency. They don't know ads, Cpc, how to write ad copy or ANYTHING. Do not hire them. Go with someone like a teenager who is willing to learn how to do it.
Like another reviewer (Lisa L.) for me this was a take your money and run company. 8 months into a 1 year package and zero leads, very difficult to reach anyone on the phone. Very slow or no responses to my requests. At first trying to understand what they were doing for me and then to cancel my account. I was told someone would call me back. That was weeks ago. Only thing I have is an expensive tax write off. Do NOT get sucker by the lovely sales pitch.
Notice how all the 5-star reviews ALL mention a reps name? "Ask for Cindy, Chad was great, ask for Andy" Does that not throw a fishy red flag? Or that they are Google Partner Certified? BS! They take your money, and if you can't afford their $250/mo service they will barter and accept what you offer (ex for me was $100/mo) and they sounded professional at first then I realize all they did was make a handful of mock websites to put in search results that contain keywords and have links etc to get in touch with me. Have not had a lead in 6 months. The last 2 calls were people looking for window tinting due to the inaccurate keywords they used and thought I tinted windows. NOPE! I'm gonna dispute their service and get a charge-back from my bank. Don't fall for any of it!
I have tried to give this company a chance. Payed well over $800. They messed up the google verification to start with. Which took a month to fix that problem alone. They made a completely different website that was trash in order to "boost SEO". All it does is confuses customers and other add companies say they would modify my own website, Not make a new one that looks horrible. Has none of my logos. That's what shows up first on google. Not my real site. Every time I call them they say it will take 3 months to boost seo on your real site, it's been over a year. They wouldn't refund me back in January. They were promising they would get my real site if I would provide my business license, DBA or utility bill. So I sent them all instead of just one. This fixed the problem for about 2 weeks, then I started receiving emails again that google needs my business license. It's a never ending cycle of $#*!.
This company is a joke. They will tell you, you can be at the top of google listings for keywords in 3-6 months. Does not happen. Your leeds will grow. Does not happen. Very hard company to get in touch with. Was trying to change keywords. Sent multiple emails and no reply. Finally cancelled payment and Boom. Guess who called... Its only clear that they are after your money and dont provide any actual service. Be careful
