Here's my review from Creature 3.0.
(FULL DISCLAIMER - I am a current client of Adam's and he provided this package as a review copy free of charge.)
Service started on May 19th. Completed on May 23rd.
Speed: 5/5 - Since this is mostly manual work, 4-5 days is pretty good
Communication: 5/5 - I gave Adam my intake form and he asked for anything he needed clarification on
Price: n/a
Quality: 5/5 - Excellent work...all profile information was exactly as stated in my intake form. All citations were clean and professional.
Overall Review: This saved me at least 15-20 hours of mind-numbing labor (which means it probably wouldn't have been done by me at all.) I was surprised at a lot of the extra work that was done beyond basic citations and reviews. As someone who does Local SEO for many clients, this service is definitely a big help.
SERPs (err...maps) Rankings:
Start: Page 2 Letter J (bottom of the second page for Google Places Listings)
Now: Totally off the maps pages.
I'm surprised to see dancing already since it's always taken a few weeks for my own work to start dancing. I look forward to seeing how long it takes to bounce back up and where it lands. Will post an update when it does.
Cheers,
Griff
Awesome - dancing, much like organic, is a great sign. Generally that is a result of the aggressive indexing that we do. Google is just like 'what the fuck?' right now...it'll sort itself out soon im sure. Please update us on where is settles.
First, let me say that I am very impressed with this review package that Adam did for me. I spent a few hours last night in Google Maps typing in my KWs (categories + plus the terms “for sale” and “for rent” ) and local towns and cities in my area. My Google places site is basically number 1 now for about 40 miles, if it is not #1 then it is #2. I expect more improvements because this was basically 24 hours after I received my report for the Creature 3.0; only one of the 5 reviews has been scraped and put into my Places Page by Google so far.
My site was averaging 7 clicks a month, since the Creature last week I’ve gotten 10 additional click throughs.
Speed: 5/5 – really fast turnaround time, I received the client intake form Friday afternoon at 3pm. The finished report was emailed to me on Tuesday at 6 PM. I actually held Adam up a day or two while I wrote the reviews for my places page. Adam works weekends, I try not to.
Communication: Adam gets another 5/5; I’ve said this before in another of his threads about how easy it is to contact Adam…. He’s the only vendor on Wicked Fire that I have used that has a toll-free number to call him. He’s client intake form is very detailed and has good descriptions so you probably don’t have to ask Adam any questions when you get the form….it is really well thought-out. The same goes for the final report that he sends out.
Quality: 4/5 and the only reason for the 4 is that I think the 5 reviews that were put into the directories for Google to find should probably use a random name generator or something to make the reviewers names look like a real person. The names that were used looked totally fake, this was one of mine reviewer’s names “hodjetshfiv”. But my Map rankings are great.
If you are an SEO company and looking to hire someone for your Google Places packages you won’t run into any issues with Adam; he’s the most professional service that I’ve used on WickedFire since I joined the forum. He’s prompt, professional and he knows what he is doing; You should have no worries about your company’s name or reputation when you hire Adam for outsourcing your Google Places work.
Ayooooo! What a great review! I am very happy to hear that you have already got some business from the very little that we did...wait til you try out our heavy hitters package....C3 is going to be money in the bank.
Our support is pretty rad - but that's only cause I'm a chatty kathy and enjoy getting to know your business. Although not popular amongst everyone, we like to assume that we are part of your team, and support you accordingly.
Well this is why reviews are great - you can find holes that you missed. Fortunately, this was only true for one of your reviews. Just an overlook I am afraid. OOPS!
Ok, so I posted this morning and Adam had this fixed by this afternoon. Can't ask for anything better than that........ You get a 6 out of 5 now.
Ya man - thanks for giving me the heads up.
Review:
I'm a long time fan of the Creature Local. It's always dominated GP so when this came out from Adam, I had to test it out.
Time: 10/10 2 days
Quality: 5/5. Client form was easy and nice to have. Report and review looked great. I couldn't be more pleased with it. The reviews are well written. Like stated above, let's spin some usernames or get a few databases of usernames from forums and use those randomly. But overall, it doesn't affect the ranking. Before he was even finished last Saturday, I got a phone call from my client who was ecstatic that they were in position "B" for their primary keyword in just one and a half days. I will definitely work with him again. He is really easy to talk to on skype if you have any questions. He obviously knows what he is doing.
Results: Competitive local keywords for a profitable market that is oversaturated. Site didn't rank for anything but the business name WITH the city. So needless to say, it worked very well. 5/5
Keyword 1: "B"
Keyword 2: "B"
Keyword 3: 9th
Keyword 4: 3rd page
Word! That's huge!! Again, just our new smallest package. Got your next order, Q'd it up and looking fwd to delivering some more results!
Woooooordddddd!!
Ps. Just making some last changes to our new site, should be ready to launch C3 pretty soon here. Woooo!
