These hacks advertise in the backpage of several towing industry magazines. I started my towing business in June of 2011 and contacted Ron Silver of Softline Solutions AKA Towing Guru. As all SEO company sales persons he promised me all kinds of results at a reasonable rate so I got started with them. Having no experience with internet advertising everything went reasonably well for the first year or so. Good rankings, so forth and so on. Mr. Silver stated that aftera year my website would be mine free of charge instead of $250. if you cancell before a year. Total LIE! He quit or was fired and the girl who handled my account, Eve, denied any such offer existed.
After the first year my rankings began to tank, no more position on Google Places, very poor visibility, and poor call volume which for a towing company means survival. Also, mixed information on all the minor search engines. Some had different phone numbers, my home address instead of business address. Out of frustration I did seek assistance from other SEO companies who were no better, but didnt tell me that working with more than 1 SEO company was a recipe for disaster. All promised me the moon.
After 2 years of advertising hell, and sticking with Softline Solutions and listening to their promises to sync everything, even paying EXTRA money for that particular service, no results. For another full year nothing but excuses, just wait, it takes time, blah, blah, blah. Then a family friend who is a web designer looked into it and she told me for the first time about BLACK HAT scam advertisers that make you a cheap crap website, poorly designed, poorly linked, but good enough to blast you onto the net for a minute until Google shuts you down. I paid for goods and services that were NEVER produced, specifically extra money to clean and sync all my information on ALL the search engines and in one year they could NOT accomplish it.
Finally, after more than 3 years with these losers I got smart and pulled the plug. I told them to kick rocks. My site was through Go Daddy and expired last November, but they continued to bill me for at least 2 months after I fired them and my site expired. I refused to pay and they sent my account to collections, which I just noticed was reported to my good credit report as a 7 month delinquent account. These bottom feeders have absolutely no class. They are all professional liars and scammers. If you have a towing company stay away from these hacks, they will get your phone to ring for about 6 months but thats about it, then your done, and youll spend years undoing the crap they started.
Fed up with all SEO pitch men, I decided to just own my own Google plus page, get my own business verified, got a decent phone friendly site through DEX, and one by one cleaned up the junk Now our phone is ringing more than ever, we are #2 on Google Places after they couldnt get me back up in 2 years, I manage my own pay per call campaign, and we are rocking! And I don't know the first thing about internet advertising.
Stay AWAY from these carpet baggers at all cost!!!!!!
