The advice I give all clients who get these call/email opportunities.

Get a written GUARANTEE that they will do whatever with SEO only. They get PAID WHEN YOU ARE PAGE ONE on your keyword.

This usually gets a hasty withdrawal of the offer.

Buyer Beware of google-placement.com. This is not a reputable company. Look at their client list, they are preying on people who have no knowledge of the Internet to charge them for putting a few words in Adwords. Such a waste of money. These guys make it hard for reputable companies to do business.

Here is the voice message I received today, word for word…

Hi Amanda. I am on your website right now and this will be a really ODD call, but my name is Harry Spencer. I am calling with a company called NetBiz. We are THE ad words company for google- the search engine on the internet and google has asked me to run a campaign featuring personal trainers in every major market across the country. And that’s why I am calling you. I would like to see if you would like to be my LA area featured trainer. I’d like to plant a link to your website on the first page of google, any time somebody types in personal trainer Los Angeles- I’d like to have that link guiding traffic to your website. So, I need you to call me right away. My toll free number is 888-847-2226. My ext is 1532. Thank you very much.

I called back and spoke to Harry and was given a VERY GOOD sales pitch about how most people don’t know google in a for profit organization! What it would cost me, only $79-1 time account creation fee & $125 month to month for top google spot. That is a lot of money for something that I now know I can do on my own.

Thank you for your post Chris.

You know, there are so many companies out there that charge people for doing stuff that can do themselves, and usually for free. Also, the customer service of the companies, after you “sign up” and use them is so bad lately. I just switched from AT&T phone service and bundled with Comcast (in our area, it’s good – I understand in some it’s not)purely because of the customer service of At&T. Whith At&T I’ve gotten impatient, not nice people, lied to and I’ve gotten hung up on – can you believe that? And they kept sending me reconditioned, not-working modems at one point. Just yesterday I got a call from a very friendly and happy young man from AT&T about would I like to switch to them – I told him I have just switched AWAY from them because of their customer service. I was pleasant and simply was saying that I was not happy – in the middle of my explanation – he hung up on me!! These companies need to get their “stuff” together and stop lying and stop the crappy customer service!!

I just got off the phone with this guy 30 minutes ago. I’m impressed with his fast talking skills. My conversation was almost verbatim of yours. We sort of got stuck when he wouldn’t give me his last last name or website. Oh well, too bad. I was going to spend soooo much with him if he had just told me his last name. Luckily “guaranteeing google placement” and having his area code also guaranteed me finding him. Must resist urge to prod him on… must resist.
