Jonathan Kirkland is the owner of Dealer Rank (dealerrank.com) and was referred to me by someone in the industry so I thought I could trust him.

Dealer Rank offers SEO and other online marketing services and they claim they are the best SEO provider for auto dealers in the world.  They took my money and Jonathan Kirkland promised me rankings.  He said they should triple our organic traffic and he showed me this case study of another dealership they got page one rankings on.

 

So I pay him $5,000 a month for the most powerful SEO campaign they have. He told me he usually charges $10k a month and told me I was very lucky to get it for $5k a month.  They outlined all the work that would be done on the contract and I guess they thought I would not check in on them.  I noticed work was not being done as outlined, I called Jonathan Kirkland and left him messages and emails for a week before he responded to me.  He was buying time to get the work done, this I understand but it is a very unprofessional way to handle it.

Month 2 and the project managers from Dealer Rank are in touch and I point out to them that work is still not getting done. Blah Blah Blah... I got busy and turned my head and now month 4 I decide to take a close look at things.  Only half the work had been done as outlined and our rankings in Google had not improved. 

 

I called up Jonathan Kirkland no answer, I emailed him no answer and this goes on for two weeks.  The project managers told me they contacted him and he will be in touch with me.  I demanded a refund for half the work not being done and cancelled my campaign.. this is $20k later.  Jonathan finally spoke to me and apologized over and over saying they will make it right and said he will refund me.  Two weeks go past... no refund... no communication... no more work done.  I do not insult people but I do state facts, Jonathan Kirkland is a liar and a con artist.  I was so mad cause I was made so many promises and I gave him chance after chance after chance.  All I got were lies... no rankings, no benefit and they didn't do half the work that was promised.  What would you do? Clearly you demand a refund.. this is alot of money. 

 

I had to file a charge back and am in the middle and having to show proof that work was not done and it is a real waste of time and energy.

I wanted to know more about this guy Jonathan Kirkland and what is the real story with DealerRank.com

I have a friend that is really into online marketing. I asked him to look into Jonathan Kirkland and Dealer Rank.  Do you know what he found... Dealer Rank is just a sales front targeting Auto Dealers, their real company is Virtual Group (virtualgroup.co/ ).  Virtual Group is 100% out of the Philippines.. all their staff is the same staff that does the online marketing Campaigns for Dealer Rank.  But Virtual Group is registered out of Hong Kong.  It takes in the money for their Philippines Company Team One Outsourcing (facebook.com/TeamOnePH/ )The SEO online marketing campaign I paid $5k a month for is sold wholesale from the same owner with his outsource company for $500 a month.  

I did my research to warn you... so please take my advice on this I'm trying to save other Auto Dealers from making the same mistake.

If you want cheap outsourced marketing from filipinos and want to waste your money and be lied to then talk to Dealer Rank and ask for Jonathan Kirkland.  He will take your money, make you promises and then send your marketing campaign to his team in the Philippines where they do not even complete the work, your rankings will fall and you won't get your money back.

I threatened Jonathan Kirkland and told him if he is going to rip me off like this I am going to share this story with the world because I do not wanting other Auto Dealerships getting ripped off by Dealerrank.com .  His response was that he will sue me if I leave a negative review online.  Hey Jonathan, do you remember telling me that you would sue me if I left a bad review for you online?  Well I guess you better go contact you attorney and come after me.

Stay away from DealerRank.com all their workers are in the Philippines and their owner cannot be trusted.
