CityLocalPro was hired by a home inspection company to build landing pages for five different cities. They were also tasked with marketing and keyword optimization to promote the business and increase revenue.

The keyword phrases used by CityLocalPro ranked on the first page of Google results, but they were irrelevant to the client's business. The vendor also charged the client up to triple the agreed amount for 14 months. They promised to give this back, but the client hasn't received any money yet.

The client submitted this review online.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

More appointments

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

I felt their measurement of success was less than optimal. The keyword phrases they used in claim to be number one on Google search engines were irrelevant for my business. I repeatedly asked for new search phrases, but they did not provide. Their terms were not really measurable. Just having or being first on a keyword search does not mean I will get more appointments if people are not searching under the keyword phrases that they. have optimized.

What was your primary form of communication with CityLocalPro?

Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their lack of sincerity and ethics

Are there any areas for improvement or something CityLocalPro could have done differently?

This review is for Citylocalpro which also goes by qualityresource. Several months ago I realized citylocalpro had double and triple charged me each month over a period of 14 months. I get accidents could happen, but I spoke with 4 different persons at this company, 2 of which claimed they were managers and no one seemed concerned on how this could happen. Nor did I receive an apology, only that they said they would get my money back to me. I can only assume it's company policy.

It has been 8 weeks since they've been "working on it" (which is what I get every week) and they still have not returned my money. I'm sure they will disregard this review as they have the other poor reviews. And I will say, my experience has been the same as the other 1 star reviewers. I hired this company to develop landing pages and use keywords to have me show up first on google.

The verbiage of these pages were written as if English was not their first language. I had to work with them for 2 weeks to get the wording to sound normal. Furthermore, the keyword phrases they have me ranked first on are not even relevant. You can search the top keywords on google for your services. I've been asking for specific keywords and I keep getting "we'll work on it". Invest your money elsewhere or keep a close eye on what your paying.
