I can't speak to their courses, but what I can speak to is they are a rip off of a marketing company. We paid $2500 for an initial first month set-up fee and a contracted 3 month marketing plan of $750 per month. They're geniuses where they require you to pay BEFORE the month of service begins. After the first month of service, we were concerned because we were not seeing the promised first month "deliverables" as outlined in our contract. Hoping for an improved 2nd month, at the end of the second month, we had still not seen the services they promised in monthly deliverables. The owner, Darrell was very defensive and refused to show us proof. Samples of the deliverables were posts on social media, email marketing, ad design, back end targeted marketing. The only deliverable they had was the target marketing - NONE of the other! After seeing we were not getting anywhere and Darrell's response to our concern when we sent him the contract was, "The contract is a 'sample' of our service - you're supposed to watch the video." We were SHOCKED! Our response was simple, "We didn't sign a video, we signed a contract!". We asked for an immediate halt of services which happened only after they charged us for the third month and closed our account. We provided all evidence and contract to our bank and were just informed Yokel Local is refusing to provide evidence of service to our bank....and now begins the 60+ days of an "escalated process". These people will RIP YOU OFF! Something our small business really suffered from. Don't trust them or their contract. They know exactly how to take your money and keep running from the bank.
