Ripoff Report Verified™ REVIEW

EDitor’s UPDATE: Positive rating and recognition has been given to 180fusion for its dedication to excellence in customer service.

Ripoff Report’s discussions with 180fusion reveal an ongoing focus by the company to total client satisfaction. This means clients can expect 180fusion to seek a mutually satisfactory resolution to any complaints or concerns. 180fusion listens carefully to client concerns and views them as a chance to learn from past mistakes and become more efficient as a company in its services and support.

This was evident during our interview with them. 180fusion employees expressed their passion for driving success to clients. After reviewing the steps they take to ensure that every client has the best opportunity for success, we are able to confidently recognize them as a Verified and Safe business. 180fusion offers solutions for enterprise level clients as well as for medium and small sized clients.

The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by Micah Lauret during an on-site inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases toward 180fusion.

180fusion is a company specializing in assisting small to medium sized businesses with marketing, specifically internet marketing. Leads are acquired through affiliate partners, pay-per-click ads, etc. Any potential customers who have expressed interest in 180fusion’s services will be contacted by a representative of the company to discuss the sales process and services they offer. “The sales process has 3 components: opener, closer and consultant. We use the opener to get them excited about it, the consultant will analyze their products, and the closer will close the deal,” explains Micah Lauret, a representative of the company.

180FUSION CUSTOMER CARE & COMPLAINT RESOLUTION

At times, a customer may not feel satisfied with the services they’ve received. “One [complaint] that I can remember was a lady with a very niche market – dog vests for service animals. She signed up and was thinking she should see better results after a couple of weeks. The service she picked was slated to see slower results (3 – 6 months). We do have services (pay per click) that provide faster results, but they cost more,” Micah explains. This particular customer was offered one month free. Additionally representatives of 180fusion spoke with her on numerous occasions to come up with alternative ways to market her business outside of 180Fusion’s services. “We helped her contact local businesses and boutiques that would probably show better results. We ultimately gave her a refund,” explains Micah. Once this complaint was closed out, the customer was satisfied. 180fusion’s follow up procedure is focused on finding results for their customers, even if 180fusion can’t provide the desired results. “They expect us to help them with their business. It wouldn’t be great customer service to press them to use 180fusion’s services if there is truly nothing else we can do for them. When we have a solution, we contact them,” states Micah.

180fusion is listed on TOP SEO’s “Top 10” list every year. To further ensure their clients are receiving the best product and services possible, 180fusion is a certified Google partner and their CEO participates in Google’s GEO roundtable committee. 180fusion also employs the use of an EXPRESS team, whose sole responsibility is to respond to customers’ inquiries in no more than 4 hours, to ensure their customers always receive answers and solutions as quickly as possible. If a situation arises where a client does not feel satisfied with the product, the team at 180fusion focuses on doing everything they can to rectify the issue and keep the customer happy. “We try to educate them on the services and find out what the real problems are. We want them as customers and we know we can help - we sometimes just need a bit more education. But if it gets to a place where there is nothing else realistic [that can be done], we provide refunds,” Micah explains.



Since receiving complaints through Ripoff Report, 180fusion has revised their reporting structure to provide more timely reports and more mentoring education. “We also instituted our ‘Voice of the Customer’ program, which really delves into the needs of our customers,” Micah states. 180fusion has also implemented a new training system for all employees who need certain amounts of credits in order to support certain products. In response to the complaints posted to Ripoff Report, Micah states, “There is one ‘troll’ out there that we think we know who it is, but he isn’t an ex-customer. He’s a competitor who stirs up all sorts of garbage just to give us a bad name. Our results speak for themselves.”

Micah and the team at 180fusion recognize the value of working with Ripoff Report. 180fsuions supports the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program and the platform it provides for businesses and clients to interact and resolve issues. “We love it – we want people to know we are legit and that we treat customers fairly. Excitement, excellence and adoration is how we want every customer to feel,” Micah states.

These comments show us that 180fusion is humbled and willing to receive feedback in order to confidently drive success for their clients.

Hi linsanjo,

Thank you for relaying your situation here.  The description helps us understand the situation from your point of view.  It sounds like you are not satisfied with the resolution we came to with the help of the Better Business Bureau or the resolution with your credit card company.  Understanding you are still unsatisfied we would be happy to open this situation back up for resolution directly.  There seems to be remaining confusion around what keywords were actually being targeted and the cancellation policy found in your terms of service, which is driving the anger and frustration here.  Let’s work to understand exactly what service was provided and come to a fair and amicable solution that you can be happy with.  Please reach out to us at support@180fusion.com or 877-678-4180 x805.

180Fusion defrauds their customers

AUTHOR: OCR Solutions, Inc. - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, November 19, 2013

I am another unhappy customer that paid over $6,000 only to have my website rankings go down. There are several complaints on this vendor in the Better Business Bureau, please look them up and check for yourself. I have put in a complaint myself. They did not create content as they said, did not manage nor log into my site something I paid for, and caused me to go back in rankings. 180fusion uses the fact that Google changes its algorithm and they need to regroup thus you should pay more money so they can get you more negative results. Very insulting the way they treat you after payment. 

If you are a business that has been harmed by this company I urge you to tell others so they will not spend their precious hard earned dollars on this very unethical company.
