“Amazing Company!”

Nuha H.
8/3/20

I was skeptical when I first spoke with Linknow but decided to give them a try. It was one of the smartest business decisions I ever made! They took care of all my website and marketing needs and even brought me new leads. Everyone there is so personable and I recently had the pleasure of working with Az who helped make my domain and email transfer such an easy and painless process! If you're on the fence about hiring this company, don't be! You won't regret it!

“Buyer Beware! Buyer Beware! Buyer Beware! Buyer Beware! Buyer Beware! Buyer Beware!”

This company and it's web design department are incompetent. There is never a simple solution to even the most basic IT issues with LinkNow Media. They destroyed my companies website and when it was brought to their attention they blamed me for the changes that they made saying "if my team and I would have communicated ideas to them better, this would not have happened". I guess hours of speaking with them over the phone, having endless Zoom meetings, screen sharing, emailing ideas and confirming them was not enough for them to do a good job or care to. It is now going on 4 months and we still do not have a working site. Customer service is terrible. Kathy Terry who is the companies Customer Service Ambassador does not live up to her title at all. She even took it upon herself to change the admin contact on our companies account because she had a disagreement with them over issues SHE and her team caused. I would add links to the horrible work they have done and the damaged they have caused our company but it is a total embarrassment to us as well because this is supposed to represent our company and its employees. In its current state it does not and will be corrected by another company who is better qualified that LinkNow Media, Kathy Terry and their web-design team. If you are looking for a web-design company to manage your website or build one for you, there are many others out there that can do a better job than LinkNow Media. If I could have rated them 0 stars, I would!

They promise you more business traffic but ill I've gotten are excuses to why I have not received any calls from new clients. In fact I'm not even on Google at all, and was promised that my listing would show up there as well I feel as if I was scammed into working with this company that made all these promises and have not even delivered.

They will rank you for keywords that don't gain you results.

Over and over your will try to cancel but they will convince you to stay and spend more.

Furthermore they have awful pre-built websites.

They have only hurt my online rankings and slowed my organic leads. Also cost a bunch of money to do it.

Stay away if you want to grow.

This company contacted me and I should of know better they kept pressuring me to buy a marketing package and wanted to put me on a automatic draft which i denied over and over again.
I let them build me a new website only after there designer lied to me and took my money. I already had a website and hosting and only needed it to be finished. So they built a website and plan was to get them to send me the files to my site. They instead billd me month after month on paypal for services that i did not ask for or ever payed for. Then they decided to cancel my website that i did pay for and is refusing to send me my files for my website that i paid for. AdvancedRestorationsGroup.net

They published my website with the template content. I asked to be able to approve it first. They didn't let me know or see it first and it was all wrong.
I think it will be ok now. I had a sleepless night worrying about it though. Make sure you send in your content within 20 days.

They were amazing to work with. Way more than I ever expected. They gave an original design, and asked if I wanted any changes. All requested changes were made within 3 days, and they called back to see how I liked. Totally impressed. Would highly recommend them. Tom Garland Appraisals. Seal Beach, CA

Verified purchase

In less than 30 days, the LinkNow team has set up and made operational my new website for my CPA practice. The team helped me sort out the content for my website as well as its design and layout. I have a very professional-looking website thanks to the Linknow folks. I will recommend Linknow to colleagues and clients.

It has been a horrible experience with this company. They do not have good experience with website development, and it takes them forever to create a website. Not to mention I paid a good amount of money upfront and did not see the result we thought we would get from them after eight weeks of going back and forth with them. The system they have is way too over complicating :( I had to cancel the service, and they did not refund me. Then I hired a new company, and what they did by taking my word press account from my Godaddy account is so wrong! I did not permit them to do that. Then when my new website coordinator tried to move their files to our new website hosting account, we received so many errors in their files and could not get our website hosting moved over until they fixed it. Unfortunately, I think we are at a loss with this company! And now this is so disappointing that I can't continue to type, do not hire this company!

Tip for consumers:
I should be getting a refund this has been so bad and a total waste of our time

I own an architecture firm in Orange County, California I received a call and a woman asked me if I would like to see the Website that was designed for the company. Next a hard pressure salesman promised a website that would be much better and generate more traffic than the current one. I was given a bargain price and promised that I would have a website designed no later than 20 days and they would rank the site higher within a 30 mile radius. 40 days later they sent me a link to the new site which turned out to be another Architects site that they copied and put my name on, sixty days later they sent me the 'finished' site which turned out to be a copy of the current web site but with worse organization, graphics and colors. If you receive a call saying that someone has created a new website for you hang up.

Got a call from sales person named Anthony he had me go to a web site they created for me and reviewing it I agreed to their service.

For around $300 & $30 a month he told me they would keep my web site ranked high, with high exposure, and they would connect remotely to my computer and I could see changes they would make to my website at the same time.

Then later I find out it is $125 a month to actually do all these things. Not including connecting remotely to my computer. Found out later they do not do this after all.

I just want my first initial payment refunded and the domain name they purchased and charged me but now they supposedly own it!

I should have just purchased this my self.

Will follow up with updates on how they handle this issue & the time it takes to be completely resolved.

Eve M.
Director Of Operations
Typically does not respond to reviews
As the Head of Operations, it is my duty and privilege to wear the many hats of our varied departments and keep us on track, not only in reaching our financial targets within the company but more importantly in keeping our growing client base happy and keen to stay on board with their customized and contract-free services.

They call me the "Customer Service Whisperer", because no matter how dire the situation may seem, I can help all parties reach an amicable conclusion that leaves everyone pleased and satisfied. I play a key role in overseeing the Marketing department, which handles both organic and local search engine optimization strategies. This involves making sure not only to keep the complex sequence of internal operations flowing smoothly and efficiently for our customers, but also making sure to stay personally informed and up to date on the latest trends and algorithm changes with major search engines by attending conferences, participating in webinars, corresponding with highly regarded names in SEO, and passing that knowledge on to our managers and staff.

At LinkNow Media, we pride ourselves on being White Hat SEO practitioners, and part of that involves taking an active interest in the ever-changing industry of online marketing. This is largely thanks to key players at the company such as myself encouraging input from our staff on new changes in the field that should be taken into account for the benefit of our clients, as well as taking time to personally research and implement these strategies into our core services.
