W Promote, www.wpromote.com

It’s been a pleasure working with Wpromote, their professionalism and expert counsel have really allowed us to grow as a brand, which has in turn helped us reach a new, younger consumer base and has doubled our male fan base online. I couldn’t be happier with the quality and customer service we receive.

The title says it all. They have horrible customer service. The SEO service is also bad as they are impossible to get a hold of and write false information. When I told them that I am the one paying for this and I wish you would trust me, they told me this isn't some restaurant or Apple bees. They really don't give a you know what about their customers, all they are interested in is money.

Don't believe everything on their website or what they tell you as they are just trying to make a quick buck instead of providing a great service and good customer service. I would give them 0 stars if a could. Don't make the mistake that we all did, choose someone else!!!!

Its funny how all the reviews the negative's are 1's and the positives are 5's which only goes to show that wpromote is writting all of their own reviews..

This is how I know they are bs, I looked on their clients page and tried to look people up and there was no name in company, try looking up Jason Hotell he never worked for safescan...

In their email to me they say Toms Shoes and Wine.com, I asked them for a phone number or reference there that I can talk to...while stumbling on the phone he said..oh they dont work there anymore or it was a short campaign we did for them..well if wpromote was so good why wouldnt they keep using them...and then I asked, give me a reference at a BIG Corporation so I can see if you could handle us...he didnt have one.

There is many other and much better PPC companies out there, real legit companies..who dont lie and say they are on fortune 500. Look for yourself. I would give you some of them, but then my email would look like what they do and post postive bs reviews.

Stay AWAY.

Hi,

I worked at Wpromote, & there are only some few points that I wanted to clarify,

1- About the "scam" issue, to be honest guys, Wpromote may use foreigners in the sales department or any other department, as a matter of fact most of big corporations now do so, & of course that all applies within a strategy, however, they are a BBB company, Google Adwords Qualified Company, Yahoo SEarch Marketing Ambassador, Microsoft AdCenter Member, as well as 2 time Inc.500 honoree: www.wpromote.com/about/awards. You can also visit topseos.com, it's a 3rd party website which identify and rank the best internet marketing agencies and tools, you can click on best integrated search, & see where Wpromote is & how much is the client retention rate.

2- As far as the keywords, The Quicklist Program is designed for small to mid-size businesses, to make sure that within the packages that it provides it can make your ad up & running throughout the whole month without overspending on highly competitive or expensive keywords, however, Wpromote works with big happy corporations like Adobe, HP, Sony & Verizon..etc,: http://www.wpromote.com/advantage/clients/ with a total different scenario of programs & pricing. Also, the Google experts should visit your website to set the most relevant keywords, however, you may change any of the keywords any time just by a phone call, & you'll get a tool that will tell you how many impressions & clicks have been made for each keyword, so you'll track your whole campaign by a very easy & time-efficient tool.

3- Now, regarding the visibility, that's the role of the account manager. The clients may sometimes search for their keywords just to test their visibility & see themselves in the 5th page for example. Actually that's not because Wpromote is lying or scamming, it's kinda complicated, but the thing is they put your ad up according to specific studies that they can make sure you're getting the highest return from the clicks, while in the other hand, sometimes putting your ad up is worthless & will cost money with no ROI, simple example: putting the ad up at 2:00 am for a Restaurant, the restaurant's link might be getting clicks but that will most probably be by browsers who only want to have an idea, & they won't make a reservation.

4- The best thing out of the Quicklist program is you don't pay for each & every click, there are no contracts, & you get to cancel at any time only by a phone call, with no cancellation fees.

5- Just make sure your type of business is going to benefit out of the Quicklist program (technically, I mean by that, the type of keywords that your business provide & how competitive they are). That doesn't mean that Wpromote can't serve your type of business, but the Quicklist program is designed for smaller and newer businesses as they scale up and grow.

6- Wpromote by that saves you money as they have their own commitments with Google Adcenter as a certified partner, saves you time & effort as they assign a dedicated account manager, & never charge you for each & every click, all that with competitive prices.

I have been a customer of Wpromote and wasted $99 per month for 5 months. My sponsored links did not appear until I called and complained but my cc was being hit monthly. After appearing several pages back on lists of sponsored links, I cancelled. The entire experience was a total waste. Don't buy sponsored links on the right side of the page. I find that internet advertising companies as a whole are quite dishonest. Learn on your own as much as you can to advertise your own business on line. I am going to file a complaint with the BBB and charge back three months of fees.

i actually had AT&T adv and they were telling me that iam an advertiser with google and yahoo but that was not true , i recived a call from one of wpromote reps and he convencied me for the advertising and i had the package for 25 keywords and i was appearing on the first pages only for 15 out of them but the problem is i didnt really got alot of calls out of it

Wpromote's business model is based on the idea that you (the consumer) have no interest or time to learn PPC. That in and of itself is fine however that's where the actual deception occurs. Let me give you an example on how Wpromote takes your money and gives you little in return.

- Wpromote analyzes your site and determines based off your content what "keywords" would best suit your site and what would most likely be used as a query on Google or Yahoo.

- Then they write an ad that will appear in the sponsored ads area on Yahoo and Google that will only appear if the search phrases or keywords THEY choose are typed into either search engine.(Now Wpromote will come back in defense here and say you can login into your account and change the words but there assumption is you won't)

Now that is in a simplistic nutshell how they operate and what they do for you..BUT now onto the take your money and give you little in return part.

Lets say for instance I have a product that requires a USB port to run - say a Web Cam. Now as a business owner i would assume a potential customer would type in:

- USB Web Cam or USB Webcam (no spaces)

Wpromote would likely NOT choose these phrases because there too costly and would result in there proprietary engine or cost/analysis system to not choose these words

Here is what Wpromote would likely choose:

- "Custom USB Web Cam Hardware"

Problem with this is that nobody in there right mind is that specific and this results in dramatic decrease in the possibility of being seen on Google or Yahoo and this is definitely not worth even the smallest price you can pay for such service and definitely not the most expensive.

My suggestion - Go to Amazon - buy a book on PPC (Pay Per Click)and run your own campaign. At least then you have complete and full control.

Overall we are very satisfied with the return on our nominal monthly investment with this firm, I would use W Promote again!
