What a scam, they sell you on the idea of creating lots of new business by promoting your company through advertising, but in reality, they set up a website that looks like yours (which actually reduces your Google rating) and just advertise this false website on lots of free ad websites, many of which look like they're owned by Unitel.
Money for old rope, selling advertising space to yourself, then charging £100 a month to the customers.
Now my small business is not doing too well, so spoke to customer services, who said they'll keep billing me, even if the company fails, then chase me personally for the outstanding amount as I'm am a sole trader and liable.
I didn't want this service, it has actually been detrimental to my online advertising, and the site they set up, was full of made up content and not true. Luckily I was the only one who ever saw it, as no leads have been generated through it. I'd know because of the rubbish they'd written on the bogus website.

Tip for consumers:
What a scam, they sell you on the idea of creating lots of new business by promoting your company through advertising, but in reality, they set up a website that looks similar to yours, and advertise it on made up directories.

Products used:
SEO, Search engine optimisation, although it had a negative result.
