LOCAL AD LINK, Beyond Commerce, a great concept in theory but does not deliver as promised.
I have been involved with this company about 2 months, I became a brand builder and brought in 3 others as Brand Builders. To be a brand builder is $349.00 and you get a $1000.00 of ads to give away or sell to recoup your money back. Sounds good in theory except the ads will not work as promised. Supposed to appear on google, ask.com, aol.com and over a 100 over websites. They promote geo targeting by zipcodes to have local merchants capture the local consumer' business. Supposedly the local merchant is found on google and other websites by key words, I have tried several different businesses and out of all of them only one comes up and it is rare it comes up. Even on their own localadlink.com their ads, pics and directions do not work, if at times they do work they will have an ad listed as a bold listing or claim ad listing along with the paid ad. You can edit the ad and the old ad stays in the directory and comes up with the newly edited ad. Advertisers are not getting all the zipcodes they pay for. I have one customer that advertised in 10 zip codes and it only comes up in 1 zip code on their own localadlink.com site. Advertisers and Brand Builders are being doubled billed and can not even get their ads to appear on localadlink.com. If you cancel after 72 hrs they do not refund your money you paid even if the ad is not coming up as advertised. They keep promising customer service as of today still nothing it takes 10 days to get any type of response and its a standard template email always saying something about Beta Launch. Now they are pushing a new money maker I-Supply to launch in May this really really get your business out on the internet LOL. They are now introducing sms text messaging so that you can get a coupon from Localadlink advertisers. I say fix what you have and deliver on this great technology before you move on to something else. Here's a novel ideal put in Customer Service and people you can talk to another outdated ideal!!! How about a phone number where you can call and talk to someone, here is a real high tech ideal a chat service, they should go for that then they can brag about it, probably only have 1 person that would be a 1000% better than what they have now, oh thats right they have nothing!!! I think its time to shut this thing down before they get more people sucked in. I will be contacting the Florida State Attorneys Office real soon so I hope others join in.
