I have been jerking around with them a little over 2 years. I was trying a number of marketing things back then and Ron L was having good success so I gave it try. I was closing about 1 out of 3 or 4 in the beginning.
It got progessively worse over the first year to like 1 out of 7 or 8. Lots of bogus leads, getting them late, bad phone numbers, exact matches that were not, and the list goes on. The frustration level would cause me to go off. They very rarely cared about all the listed above and said sorry but no credit. Take the bad with good.
A little over a year ago, I turned them off. I didn't cancel because google was picking up my 20 or so 5 star ratings and showed them in my profile and I was getting jobs from the reviews that would call me directly. I tried exact matches for a few months - no better. I tried doing only carpet repairs and try to upsell to cleaning. Most people thought they could get someone to repair their carpet for $20-40.
I have been putting them on hold every 2 weeks ( I don't know why, but didn't want to cancel just yet). This week they turned me on with no warning, sent me a lead for a sofa cleaning. I called said should be turned off, credit it back and turn me off. They said no. (At a job, had to walk outside), said cancel my account now. They said, someone would have to call me to discuss.
I sent an email to cancel all accounts, take me out of their system. They sent back that I will have to discuss with someone. Went off again to no avail. I have sent 3 subsequent emails stating no talk, here is my written request and they refuse to cancel my account.
Our pricing structure and company makeup never worked with them. This was a major loser for us since we started. They are impossible to deal with on the phone. Their leads absolutely sucked! Since google changed they no longer use those reviews, I finally canceled them and feel so much better.
bottom line, If something ain't working - get rid of it and do something else. The sooner the better!!
