Be very careful signing up.  They will not tell you upfront when first signing up that they will automatically renew you, which all companies I have ever signed up with will tell you up front when first signing up that there will be an automatic renewal.

What AdWerx does is renew your subscription after whatever term you pay for is over.  Pretty much they are unilaterally renegotiating the terms since it wasn't a mutual agreement between both parties up front when you first signed up.

They get away with this for now by saying they have sent you an email, in fact many emails.  However, they purposely send out emails for this very reason:  You will be bombarded by so many emails detailing your performance on how many views you are receiving almost every day.  Inevitably a lot of their emails do end up in the Spam Folder. 

Regardless if you actually open them or not, you will likley miss the fine print in light gray font color that almost blends in to a white background...saying your ad will renew.  Meanwhile, everything else is nice bright colors about how many views you got and a screenshot of your ad on a website.  I had no idea that was even there until I had to dispute them for charging me again for another year of subscription that led to no results.

The problem is that they never disclosed upfront when you first sign up.  While you think you are only signing up for a set term and that's it, which they purposely lead to you believe when they don't disclose that there will be a renewal before you pay.  Then after you pay, they pretty much decide on their own that they will renew your subscription after it ends. 

In regards to results, don't expect much.  They pitch themselves as a company to get you brand recognition, but I knew that was a fool's game.  I aimed for lead generation by having the click link go to a home evaluation landing page. 

You will see many reviews online from agents that have tried the brand recognition strategy and the lead generation strategy and you will see them consistently saying they had no results. 

When you point out to AdWerx that you didn't get any leads from AdWerx, they will counter back that they aren't a lead generation tool, they are brand recognition tool.  If that's the case, you should be prepared to spend as much as Coca Cola does to get brand recognition.

You will see online many, and I say MANY bloggers, which are probably drones of AdWerx all preach about how great AdWerx is and that all you need to do is create a landing page to get leads.  It's either that message from bloggers or the message that you get to create brand awareness and that is what's so amazing about AdWerx because it would cost you so much more for other methods like monthly postcards...etc.  Well, the other methods do cost more because they are more effective.

Try it at your own peril...but one thing for sure is they have intent to deceive you by renewing you without your express consent and disclosing to you upfront about a renewal.  Judging by the results many real estate professionals have gotten, you can see why AdWerx have to resort to such tactics.
