I confess I did NOT sign up with OutRank. I was, however, subjected to a high pressure, bells and whistles type of online presentation that was blatantly scripted, and completely non responsive to my questions. When I would interrupt the sales rep to make a comment, I would get a simple "ok" and then straight back to script. I made it clear to the representative that I do NOT respond positively to high pressure tactics, nor to demands for immediate commitments. As if I didn't exist, she starts with, "So, can we sign you up today? These prices will not be available after today. I don't want to give you a chance to talk yourself out of it", (Honest, she actually said that!) After thinking about it, and doing the analytics, the cost is simply not justified. The promise of leads is not the promise of clients. Only a small percentage may turn into clients, and, at best, the return may be only 2 to 1. Would you spend $500 per month in the hope of $1000 per month in revenue (if all goes well), especially if you are a small business and $500 may represent a huge chunk of your current revenue? No. It is also interesting how, in all these reviews, they either get 5 stars (from either paid reviewers or employees!) or 1 star from disgruntled customers. When the words "rip off" are used this often, alarm bells should be going off. Caution is definitely warranted. Setting up your own website and hiring a reputable local SEO service is probably a better plan and money better spent.
