So I recently started using ad.iq and I like the way you can actually talk to a person. Dealing with Google is difficult for me when it comes to my business advertising/website.The company has great customer service.Not sure on platform, only because what ever they do is run through them.With that said it's not that expensive as other places. If they continue doing a good job then it will be a big deal. Overall: good people
I would give zero stars if i could. These people are total trashbags, they will spam you nonstop from different numbers and then they will lie about it. Its pathetic. Notice they dont provide an address for the business, what type of business conceals their location?

Dear Brandon,
We want to assure you that there has been no misappropriation of your funds. When you initially joined our services, we communicated the possibility of securing a prominent position on the front page of your local search results within 90 days.
Despite the fact that you changed the name on your business listing, which does not align with your business license, we have successfully achieved front-page visibility for four of your specified keywords within that time frame. Furthermore, progress is underway for the remaining keywords.
If you have any questions or would like to gain a deeper understanding of how our marketing strategies are benefiting your business, we would be happy to speak with you. Please feel free to reach out, and we'll be happy to address any questions or concerns you may have.
I paid for AdIQ to boost my website and get my google business issues resolved, or at least that's what I thought I was paying for. They created another website and another business location, so you will ONLY have their help with that AS LONG AS you keep paying them...and my website was working better than theirs after 6 weeks.
Not saying it can't be beneficial to someone who does NOT have a website or know how to follow a template, but I feel that they deceived me in what they promised me.

Hi John,
Thank you for the 5 stars and we're happy that you like how things are going so far! We will continue to do everything we can to make sure you remain a happy customer!
Where should I start? I have a massage business and they would call me and act like a client and schedule an appointment, but never show this happened time and time again just so the percentage of calls would look good then act as if it was because of there ad. My payment is supposed to come out every month on the 22nd … but they take it out whenever they want to. As soon as they open up today I'm DONE! Unprofessional and greedy! I wouldn't recommend to anyone!

AD IQ is website company that designed my website . They take my payment early every month it’s not your money until the 22 of each month how many times do I have to call and complain?? I’m going to cancel today as soon as they open!!
I see these reviews and I dont understand. I have had a great experience with ad.iq. I have had all of my calls and emails promptly answered, and any of my questions and been answered and I have been placed on the right track. Im new at the whole online marketing idea, and they really help me understand.
This company is totally scammer and they don't deserve one penny of your money.
I opened 2 accounts at one time and what I saw is nothing but a waste of time and money.
I don't advise anyone to deal with them.
Save your money and do the advertisement and leads the customers to your business by yourself by downloading google ads.
Let me explain more if they told you they have a 3 months campaign for $500 each month that's a scam because the thing is they won't tell you how much they are going to invest on google as an advertisement from the $500.
So they literally could spend $50 each month and they keep the difference which is $450 for themselves.
As soon as I ended my service with them, I went from page 1 to 4 on Google. Google has been unresponsive. As has Ad iq. I hired them to expand into a new territory. They got me zip. Terrible service.
Hello Devon,
Enhancing your visibility on Google is our utmost priority. During the three months you were with us, advancements were made to your ranking. Unfortunately, if someone withdraws service with us, it removes our active strategy. And as an effect, visibility can be reduced. You also moved outside of the area where you were previously ranking and Google didn't consider you a good local option since you were no longer local. We created content to let Google know that you still provided service in that area and you began to regain your visibility shortly after. We want to speak with you further regarding your concerns and would like to see if there is anything we are overlooking. To further discuss, please give us a call at 888-402-2347 x1.
I ended up not using the products Ad.IQ developed for me because I already had a website that I preferred. My preference was to contract for SEO consulting only, but unfortunately, SEO is wrapped into the Ad.IQ website. Thankfully, Ad.IQ understood my situation and refunded my last payment completely. We had a number of frank conversations and am impressed with their commitment to customer satisfaction.
Tip for consumers:
If you do not have a website at all, AdIQ might be for you.

Hi Diane,
Thank you for giving us a chance to provide a solution. We appreciate your patience and thank you for the positive feedback about our team!

If you need a simple site and have little experience, this site could work for you. You do not own any data on the site and will forever have to pay as long as you wish access to the content. Just be aware beforehand to ensure this aligns with the long term plan for your online presents.
I was with Ad.iq, then cancelled service with them because I was not seeing results after 6 or so months. A couple months later I received a call from them saying that they would offer 1/3 the price per month to come back and that it would only take time to really work, so I agreed. After over a month of being back with them, I found that the phone number used for call tracking was not going to my businesses phone number! But instead it went to a different home service providers website! This company sells your data and does not actually help businesses grow! I lost about 5 MONTHS WORTH OF LEADS ONLINE DUE TO AD.IQ. DO NOT GET SCAMMED BY THEM!
They have always been responsive to my phone calls and any changes I have wanted to make. They do a great job explaining things about how Google works and why they do things a certain way. It took a little while for things to start to work but they convinced me to be patient and I am glad they did. I would recommend to any business that's considering them to trust their process. It turned out very well for me.
Tip for consumers:
Listen to what they recommend and trust the process. Get reviews and give them photos to use.

I own a cleaning company and they promised me that they can get me on the 1st page of Google within the first 90 days. And so I figured, sweet, lets do it.
We go through the process of having them co-manage my google business profile and the day after, my Google account is suspended. It has now been suspended for 12 days which equates to at least $15k in yearly revenue from lost recurring customers.
I was SO much better off without this company. This is sad because now it puts my team in jeopardy given that Google was my #1 source of leads. My team now has a reduced amount of hours because of this companies negligence. Stay far away.
This is a horrible marketing agency. Do not use them for your website or your business, they falsely promise front page of google searches and personalized care while exaggerating the terms and conditions. When in reality they take weeks just to get back to you about changes or edits, fail to produce results. When they do finally update the website they reword everything you said and post blatantly wrong information. On the original phone call I was lied to and told if we didn't see results we would be eligible for a full refund. Called today to try and cancel with refund only to be told to go kick rocks. I have zero results from this endeavor with adiq. Our business social media is outperforming the "keyword optimized" website. Save yourself the headache, go with literally anyone else. Do not be naïve as I was.
Tip for consumers:
1) use google my business to build a website.
2) research "how to optimize website for searches"
3) profit

Google told me today that they DO NOT partner at all with Ad Iq. Ad Iq says they do. This is a company that lies, takes your money and doesn't do what they say they will. It's taken me a year (so far), to undo all their mistakes they made when I floored them.
Hello Devon B.,
The person you spoke to at Google was ill informed. You can find our Google Partner Badge on their website if you do a little research. We would be happy to provide you with the link or show you where to go if you want to call in to speak to us. While we do not believe that we did anything wrong on your campaign, we would be willing to have a discussion with you about what you believe was done incorrectly. You can call us at 888-402-2347 x1.
The purpose of this business to to try to raise the visibility of your business in a Google search. Basically raise you in the list of results. That in itself does not necessarily bring in addition business. It might, it might not.
The big issue is if you want to cancel, they give you the runaround for hours trying to talk you out of cancelling.
The easiest option, don't start with them in the first place.
Tip for consumers:
Just don't

Hi John, it's true that we will try to serve as many clients as possible. And to your point, raising a business up in the search results is the objective since it increases the likelihood of reaching new customers. If the search interest in your area is low, then continuing with the program to grow the localization is the next step. In our experience, clients who pursue this strategy and continue with the program ultimately find their market. We strive always to do our best to share this insight with our customers and support it with Google's data on its growth. However, if you feel this process was inordinately long or problematic, we would like to review your account notes and find out why because it should not have taken hours to discuss. At this time, we have been unable to locate an account on file based on the information provided by this platform. We would love for you to call us and provide us with your business name, business phone number, or the name of the primary point of contact so we can locate your account to assist further. 888-402-2347 x1.
Danielle is amazing! She is always patient and always know the answer to my question or ask others until she gets me to understand everything I needed. She also offers me numerous services AD IQ offers whereas other associate only solves my current question or pushes me to other resources etc… really recommend Danielle!

I have tried to give this company a chance. Payed well over $800. They messed up the google verification to start with. Which took a month to fix that problem alone. They made a completely different website that was trash in order to "boost SEO". All it does is confuses customers and other add companies say they would modify my own website, Not make a new one that looks horrible. Has none of my logos. That's what shows up first on google. Not my real site. Every time I call them they say it will take 3 months to boost seo on your real site, it's been over a year. They wouldn't refund me back in January. They were promising they would get my real site if I would provide my business license, DBA or utility bill. So I sent them all instead of just one. This fixed the problem for about 2 weeks, then I started receiving emails again that google needs my business license. It's a never ending cycle of $#*!.
Tip for consumers:
Stay far away from ad.iq. Unless you have deep pockets and love to waste money.
Highly unprofessional! Only received lots of spam calls. Very shady when it came to policies and still drafted money from our account when we believed that we asked to cancel. Awful experience and a huge waste of time and money.
Tip for consumers:
Do not waste your time and money.

After read bad reviews I decided to close my account. I called customer serviceand her name was Jennifer. I told her I would like to close my account. She told I should pay $400 for cancellation. I told I paid $300 one week before. They are charging for nothing. Just waste money. Don't have business with them.
I Have been dealing with Tanner and Katie, they have been incredibly professional and knowledgeable. I have dealt with a number of similar companies in the past, and I can tell you without a doubt that the Team at Ad.IQ has been by far the best as well as easiest to deal with. Great communication, excellent understanding of how to achieve results, and the way they deploy their strategy has been precise and in accordance with best practices policies.
Great Company, greater staff, and even better service. Top Shelf Team@ Ad.IQ
This company is a joke. They will tell you, you can be at the top of google listings for keywords in 3-6 months. Does not happen. Your leeds will grow. Does not happen. Very hard company to get in touch with. Was trying to change keywords. Sent multiple emails and no reply. Finally cancelled payment and Boom. Guess who called... Its only clear that they are after your money and dont provide any actual service. Be careful
I went through with this company hoping to receive what they promised which was a great way to advertise my company on google and get on to the front page, also on google maps, and be able to have a viewable profile website on google. None of this was true and after the agreement was signed I never heard back from them.
Every time I get their e mails I respond STOP> They dont stop. I dont want to do business with you or have my time wasted with these e mails.

They thought they could pull the wool over my eyes. Not so. I've run ads before and worked at microsoft as an sem analyst. I didn't have time to run my own ads and create content but I should have hired someone to do so. The quality assurance cat tried telling me that $300 in ad spend accrued over 4 days. For such a specific and targeted niche as mines, this was a lie. Then he said they didn't do any work because I had asked for a refund. So they didn't do any content production, no ad placement and didn't communicate with me whatsoever. They also didn't even set up my socials correctly. No bio, photos, not even stock photos. For a month of them doing nothing I paid 300. Then this dude had the nerve to go back and forth with me. This is not an ad agency. They don't know ads, Cpc, how to write ad copy or ANYTHING. Do not hire them. Go with someone like a teenager who is willing to learn how to do it.
