Please read the below review and don't make the same mistake!
I’ve been a client of Search Engine Experts (aka www.searchengineexperts.com.au) for 6 months and results were ok up until 6 weeks ago, when all my page 1 positions on Google were completely wiped. Not just my page 1 positions, but all rankings for all keywords completely disappeared.
I have a finance related business and I rely heavily on leads generated from my online marketing activities, so as you can imagine quality seo services are crucial for my business survival. When I rang up Search Engine Experts asking for answers, they gave me some below average answers and suggested I spend more money on Google Adwords & social media, whilst continuing to pay for SEO services. So they wanted me to double my monthly spend? Good solution, NOT!
After doing more research on Search Engine Experts, I later found out that all their SEO work is outsourced to India. So they were charging me $2500 per month and spending a fraction of that on their Indian seo team. Talk about profit margins for Search Engine Experts!!!!
I also found out, that my rankings were completely wiped due to the poor quality links that their Indian link building team were building. Very spammy links, which completely ruined my website. I found some tools that allow me to check types of links they had built and I found that they had linked my site to porn sites. I don’t know SEO, but I know this is NOT good. Plus, from a business reputation perspective, it couldn’t get any worse. What happens if my competitors see that my site is linked to porn sites? It’s going to kill my reputation in the industry.
When I raised these complaints with my account manager, they gave me excuse after excuse and no real answers. If you want to pay over priced prices and get average results, choose Search Engine Experts. I just hope the above review helps other people who are in the same position as me. Never again!

I read your report regarding Search Engine Experts and I am in a very similar boat. I have spoken to a couple of other companies in a similar situation also, one of which will definitely be taking them to court for some big dollars.
My site was also linked to porn sites while under the care of Search Engine Experts and after 5 months of having my time wasted I pulled the plug. Now they would like me to pay them over $3,400 for work they never carried out.
Can you please get in touch with me regarding complaints with Consumer Affairs. Your assistance will help ensure other people do not have to go through the ordeals we have gone through.
I hope to hear from you soon. phivo@me.ocom
