Hired Attracta on 09-22-2013 to place 6 agreed keywords on page one in Google search engine. Paid over $2,000 for this service to be completed within 2 months after key words were agreed on and correctly placed in our website, or money back. NO RESULTS AFTER 7 MONTHS! Only 2 of the 12 keywords are on first page, which is worse off then we were before we started working with Attracta.
1. Heather (employee at attracta) said that we could not rank because of spam sites linking to our site. Google webmaster never notified us of any spam issue. This lead us to believe we needed a whole new domain (new website essentially) to get rid of the problem!!! When in fact, that is not the reason we could not get ranked on first page of google. It was simply Attracta's inability.
Attracta almost has my client spent thousands of dollars on a un-needed new website!!! And made me dissavow links in google webmaster tools for no reason!!! It did not change a thing!
2. Lauren Tullos (employee at attracta) - sent false screenshots in April 2014 that the site was actually on the first page of google for six keywords. When Eugene Kwon sent me the screenshots I double checked, and we were actually no where near first page for those keywords. This was checked same day.
3. Attracta's content written for the pages was very poorly written in what appears to be at the 5th grade level. Looks to be they were outsourcing the content writing overseas to countries such as India. This is the only way I can make sense of this.
My Client was very upset and nearly fired me because of the lack of basic writing skills. So I had to re-write all the content, spending my own hours fixing their problem. Again I spent more time redoing their work.. I probobly spent 10 hours fixing all of their problems.
4. Eugene Kwon (employee at attracta) - said he can finally get us the refund (6 months later). We had originally had a 60 day guarantee plan. If we DON'T rank at LEAST 6 of our 12 keywords on first page of google we will get a refund. Then I don't get any follow up.. They kept stringing me along by saying we will get you ranked within the next 3 weeks, we are confident (this happened several times). When I would try calling no one would ever call me back, would take weeks before I hear back about anything. And then I just get excuses of why things are not working.
I had to contact Heather to get to Joe Knipp, who told me they simply cannot offer a refund because they closed their San Francisco branch!?!?! WTF? SImply put he refused to give a refund and only reason is because they closed the branch and said it was too long ago. HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE??? Sounds like a HUGE SCAM. So I looked up attracta's reputation online and found a HUGE HUGE number of VERY ANGRY FORMER CLIENTS, with the exact same complaint. No real company would do this, they would offer a full refund just as promised.
Hired Attracta on 06-22-2013 to place 6 agreed keywords on page one in Google search engine. Paid $1790 for this service to be completed within 2 months after key words were agreed on and correctly placed in our website, or money back. It's been 4 1/2 months and still nothing. They tried billing me for more money, for no reason, then apologized. They wrote saying I canceled services; never did. To me, they're trying to postpone refunding money. About one month ago they called saying they can't place agreed words. They will not honor guarantee or respond to numerous emails. Contacted consumer fraud in Napa, CA ; they think I should file BBB complaint first; then they want to look into this; [ There's a difference between a misunderstanding and fraud; ] They're talking to district attorney's office about this. I see great reviews about them, unfortunately all from their website, or sites I think they created; all reviews off their site that I've seen, are negative, to be polite. I hope this helps in your decisions about paying for their services.
