Reachlocal Deceptive Practices Chicago, Illinois

Reachlocal will force you to sign a contract without any terms and conditions present.  Then, when one reads the document they just signed, it will say that you just agreed to a one way contract you cant get out of unless you take them to court in CA.

Another issue with Reachlocal is that they hide their fees and they are not motivated to cut your budget the more you
spend the more they make.

I have (1) company with two marketing arms and Scott Davis of Reachlocal would not let me treat all three websites as
one.  Why?  Do drive up his profits.  You see when people would search for my service they would click on all three PPC ads of mine.  People dont know that all the ads are from one company and thus they will click on all three of my PPCs. For the same potential customer I was paying three times what I should be paying.  Hardly search engine optimizationmore like pocket book maximization.

Another big problem with Scott Davis and Reachlocal:  Reach Local buys online searches for my name. I have three billboards on major expressways and if someone sees my billboard and then they go home and Google MY COMPANY NAME, my paid ad comes up the person clicks on the paid ad and Reach Local gets the credit for a lead that couldve been driven by your billboard, Yellow pages, BBB or who knows what. This is a very bad thing to do. Its POACHING or PIMPING your own customer.  And Scott Davis is a Champion at it.

Paid search is effective only when you target people who do not know you already. You only want to pay for online
searchers who do not know you already. Why pay for a click from someone who already knows your name? It is a waste of money and it artificially inflates the results that Reach Local is delivering. Bad, bad, bad.

With Scott Davis and Reachlocal, one does not know who came from their paid efforts vs. other ads because they are buying your name.

Scott Davis made claims of organic optimization.  I asked him to get Google place pages for my two marketing armshe never did.  All he was interested in doing was getting more PPC.

Scott Davis and Reachlocal are a pair of rotten pagans who only care about fattening their pocket book through as many
deceitful and deceptive practices they can contrive.
