Long review but read this if you want to know the truth about this company's unethical practices.
I started my 2 medical Telehealth business. Alohadoc.com.au and Alohatelehealth.com.au. Because I was getting my website developed from overseas who were developers and not content creators, I was told by the sales team before signing with OMG that they will provide content. The sales team was quite well-pitched. We were provided audits and strategy before we signed up. 
The company was given all details including competitors etc. When we signed up after my website was ready with Lorem ipsium as content, the team at OMG said we will conduct Audit and strategy session. Imaging auditing a website that has lorem ipsium which was not even live as it was awaiting for the content. The OMG team wasted few weeks asking me similar information for strategy which was provided to them before I signed up. 
They provided me near similar strategy presentation which I received from their initial pre sales strategy session. So basically no objective work. When I raised with OMG that where is the content and how can you audit a website that is not live and content that has lorem ipsium, they came up with a plan for content that would take few weeks. Now imaging a lingering business with ongoing expense waiting to get live only to be delayed by so called professional marketing team. I took it upon myself to do the content from my busy clinic and jet lag from recent overseas travel. 
I did the content in 24 hours, which the so called OMG content writers suggested would take few weeks. Despite this they made 2 suggestions to add on the website which they said they will do which never happened. Finally frustrated, I decided to cancel the services. The OMG team was so considerate (I am being sarcastic) that they acknowledged the issue and decided to refund the 1st month cost, but wait there is a catch. To get this I would have to continue with them and provide my business to them. 
I said this is silly, basically you are saying we did not provide services for the 1st month so we will not charge only if you continue with us. I said because of your delays, my business was delayed incurring loss, and you are thinking of your profits for your mistakes. So I decided to cancel. Then the unethical practices really kicked in. They said as per my contract I will be charged for 30 days. 
SO here is a business that ripped me off 2 months of costs and provided a strategy on a website that was not live and had lorem ipsium and did not meet deadlines for content and incurring loss to my business. I disputed these charges with my credit card company to which they then changed their stance and provide an excel file with docs link saying all services delivered.
I recorded our meeting where they clearly acknowledged that they failed to deliver services. All email screenshots attached. Unfortunately google does not allow voice notes to attach on reviews. People reading this review please ask me if you want the copy of the voice note so you can make better informed decisions.
Please read my email carefully and stay away from this company who would profit off your own business and not do any work and not take any accountability for their actions.
I am sure they will attach the excel file with so called services delivered to reply a counter arguement to my review, but read my email thread attached with this email where they clearly acknowledged delays and incompetencies from their end.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.

Stay away from this company. Please do not sign ANY CONTRACT with them. They have a very good sales team, they will convince you to sign a contract with them. After spending almost $50,000, I was not getting any results. every time on call they blame on google algorithm, High competitive market ETC. although I made it very clear to them what i am looking for. Their sales team made promises about getting 2-3 inquiries a day.

Please stay away from this company and save your money. By the way they do make very good presentation. every time i am calling them about results they show me the keywords which are very low in volume and telling me that how much progress they have made. Please Please SAVE YOUR MONEY and Stay away from them. I hope no small business will have to go through what i am going through right now after signing the contract with them. if they are confident in their services they do not require you to sign a contract. which i missed in understanding.
