Generally speaking, I will not take on carpet cleaning and other niches prone to Spam. In this case though, the fellow inquiring was very serious about ranking it, and was happy to provide me with the Organic backbone required. If you have a locksmith, carpet cleaning etc listing and want a bailout package for it, please speak to me first before ordering.
just ordered!
client is at on 1st page at position E and also #8 (this search as 7pack still)
and #5/letter e on another search (google places results)
will report back in a month or so...
LOL. prone to spam or prone to heavy competition?

Convenient that they're some of the most popular niches?![]()

a quick update...
adam just finished doing 95% of the red pill package for one of my sites. the remaining 5% are just citations that will be built in a week or so.
it took him about 4 days or so to complete it. honestly i was ready to wait much longer but pleasantly surprised.
adam definitely knows his shit and communication is great. ive been able to communicate with him on some odd hours during weeknights and weekends on skype and he is right there to respond.
as far as the actual work done.... its a shit load of work that honestly would take one man a week+ to do all this manually.
there were several errors and thats understandable as they were human errors. adam corrected them within 24 hours.
the most important thing are the citations and they are pretty much all the same across the board as they should. ie NAP, description, categories, etc
however theres room for improvement to add more shit to them such as more images, spun descriptions, or coupons on certain sites. i will be doing these myself as it wasnt adams job.
also be aware that he will be creating using some very popular citation sources such as facebook, twitter, yelp, etc. if you already have these, let adam know so he wont create duplicates.
the ranking hasnt changed cuz he literally just finished it but i will report back in a few weeks.
all in all this is worth the money and i will certainly be using him again.
Have you ever tried ranking a locksmith or carpet cleaner, etc? If you want to rank in those niches that are full of spam, you have to either be willing to take the risk or pay a lot. What Adam has done is take the normal work and scale it. It would take more than the normal package he is giving to rank something in these super competitive niches.
It's like trying to rank for 'buy viagra' with a layered links package. Sure, the package is good, but you are kidding yourself if you think one package is going to rank you for one of the most competitive niches.
Thanks Alan - a fair and pretty honest review...however I think you sugar coated it a bit. As I mentioned to him before, there is absolutely no room for errors in GP ranking and I made plenty in your order. True, they were human errors, and your package was handled by a new staff member, BUT at the end of the day we really fucked up. It's happened before (Docs order many months ago) and it will happen again. Alan I will make sure you are well compensated for our errors and I apologize again.
Thank you everyone for your reviews so far, not only have they given us some new ideas, but they will help us improve overall.

maybe if i would have posted my complete shitty experience you wouldn't still be letting noobs with no experience inside client's Google Places page. its a pretty serious thing to entrust someone with and it sounds like you still don't take it seriously. like i've always said, its not a mistake, its how you roll.
you told me weeks ago you were going to take care of everything and give me the passwords for all those crappy citations. maybe i missed your follow up.
if what happened to my client's place page is going to happen again and again as you say, i wouldn't suggest anyone order the Creature. sorry bro! i realize you are trying to eek out a margin or whatever, but you are being entrusted with something very serious to the businesses I work with. VERY.
If you want a perfect guy, with a perfect service, with a perfect little cherry on top, every single time...yah maybe that's not me. If you want a guy that will bust his ass to get you to the top...and deliver value time and after time, and take time outta my busy day to take your calls and answer any questions you may have about GP
Now he is telling me that the passwords to all the spam his bros did for me don't work and there is nothing he (or i) can do about it. People with advanced degrees with skull necklaces for profile pics is cool bros! it is Creature and it is most excellent product on all of DigitalPoint. My bros hook you up real good with Google TOS violations. It is my Standard Operating Procedure bros....and I readily admit it!!
eff the Creature. worst shite I ever bought on WF. the one thing i wish i could take back because it really, really fucked me in several ways. but it was my mistake. buyer beware.
At least do your customers a favor and don't keyword stuff the business name. I know you say that Google doesn't care. But in my niche, they care a lot. It doesn't fly. And we all know how much they love you changing the business name back and forth.
That's when we actually give Adam the passwords to the crap listings bros!!!!
REVIEW: ZERO STARS
I apologize to all WFs for not reviewing this earlier. Adam seemed like a decent guy and I didn't want to flame him. When I saw you bring me up it stirred it back up for me on an already shitty day. I could go on and on, but I made my point.
