Practice Builders' website claims being in business since 1979, yet California Secretary of State Business Portal lists company origination date as 10/6/09. Also, this company has only two positive reviews, both written one day after the other??!! Both reviewers left each other similar positive reviews, only one day, and same day for other Yelp reviewer. Seems as if a bunch of friends giving each other positive reviews. At first glance, the company CEOs website posted biographical information seems quite impressive, until one realized that such claims are chronologically impossible. Company claims that CEO worked for company as executive member for ten years prior to promotion to CEO, yet his age and graduation from college make such claims impossible.

If the company will lie about insignificant details like this, what else will they lie about? Maybe all those positive, claimed testimonials are fake as well? This should serve as another example........ just because something is well written and presented on a great looking website......authenticity is not assured. We are all seeking effective marketing methods, especially in this horrible economy, but consider investing in marketing companies that provide a verifiable service and a documented history in their field of expertise, as opposed to a documented history of deceit.

One last reply to a liar

AUTHOR: Scoobysteven - ()

POSTED: Monday, February 03, 2014

As for your first point, correct.  I have never done business with your company.  I never said "I" did, but from the entry contributed by another participant, somebody else did, and they concur with my position.

As for your second point, the reason that originated my research and subsequent posting of the results is your CEO's refusal to keep his promise and return my call.  My posting this entire factual claim supported by verifiable sources for confirmation has nothing to do with your company's failure to hire me, but assuming, inarguendo, that as you claim, that I posted this review because you decided against hiring me, would this automatically discredit all I've revealed, and why do you continue to propose claims contrary to my verifiable claims yet continue to provide no supporting evidence?

As for your vague yet unsupported mentioning company relocation, I looked deep into this address claim, and I'm well aware of your company's move, but unlike your claim, it took place right after your company's origination, and both locations present within the same county, which makes them a verifiable matter of public record, yet neither of these locations list and dates lead back to 1979, a date you claim to have performed your company's origination, and practiced expertise, Internet marketing, long before Al Gore invented it!  

I especially enjoyed reading an exchange between your company "expert", and Google, regarding your company's sudden plummet in organic ranking.  I found it ironic, I'm being totally sarcastic, that your company expert/guru, could make such a bush-league amateur mistake and your company still believe and proclaim to be experts at Internet marketing.  I feel sorry for any small or medium private practice that invests more than a penny believing your company can help them in any way.

Keep digging, but next time, keep your word and call me back.

Still sticking to that claim, huh?

I find it interesting that despite so many words, the review recipient merely repeats himself, in relation to his website, posting absolutely no facts to support his position. Just to be clear, if one Googles State of California, Secretary of State, Business Portal, then select the business "search" option, then type company name is appropriate field, the system will display company origination date as being from 2009. You can then log onto the County of Orange, Fictitious Name Statement Search, same company does not appear even as a non-corporation, anywhere in the county of Orange.

As for your claims of my retaliation for your refusing to hire me, they do not justify a response. A word to company representatives, tell the truth. Not only is it easier, but there is much less to remember.
