I just received a phone call from a company called Top Rank Listing with regards to getting my website on the front page of google and yahoo. I did a search on the toll free phone number and this company happens to have the same number as a company called Eboost Media.
Eboost Media is a complete scam. They promise to have your business listed in the top three spots on Google and Yahoo search engines. It's only going to cost you $100 for the first month and then $160 each month after that. Sounds pretty good, right? Well, here is our experience with the company. They were very quick to return our calls to get our business but then after they received our credit card info it was like they fell off the face of the earth. My wife and I both called them repeatedly and it took us about a week to actually talk to someone. We were told that we would receive a call back and EVERY SINGLE TIME NO ONE CALLED BACK! We had to continually hound them to get anything done.
And then once we realized they were not a legit company, they refused to cancel our account. I tried canceling with them four days in a row and although I was told that we were "officially canceled" I would later receive a call with someone from Eboost offering to give us a better monthly rate. I asked if the account was canceled and the lady told me it was not. So after reading other people's horror stories I finally canceled the credit card that I gave them so they wouldn't be able to charge my card anymore. It has been such a hassle dealing with this company and a complete waste of time for my business. We are still not listed anywhere near the top three spots on google or yahoo.
Also, Eboost is simply doing something that every business owner can do for free. If you go to Yahoo or Google's local business listing, you can submit your business info so people will find it in the local listing. You can submit photos and put all of the info you want customers to see about your business. Google and Yahoo do not charge a dime for this and it will take you less than 5 minutes to do it yourself. Or you can pay the geniuses at Eboost to set you up for $100 and then they will continue to charge your card and give you the runaround when you decide to cancel.
I AM NOT 100% SURE IF TOP RANK LISTING IS THE SAME COMPANY AS EBOOST MEDIA BUT THEY HAVE THE SAME PHONE NUMBER AND BOTH BUSINESSES ARE LOCATED IN MURRIETA, CA.
I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE ANY CHANCES THOUGH...
