This company does a very good job of selling their agency owner program. But that's pretty much where it ends. They claim that by buying into their program you will learn everything there is to know about running your own internet marketing agency.
Their training is very incomplete and hard to understand. It is not, by any means a step-by-step guide. It is a jumbled mess of all sorts of different, confusing pieces that are hard to put together into a useful working unit. I don't know of any agency owners that have actually been successful because of the SearchMarketMe program.
Last year they sold the program as a website design/development agency with internet marketing resources. Since then the owner sold the website design portion of the company to 2 of the employees. Then she sold the rest of the company to someone else. The website design/development company went out of business about a month after it was started. The hosting services they were offering are undependable, but getting your website off of there server seems to be impossible. If you had websites you were waiting for them to develop... Good luck.
If I would have known then, what I know now, I never would have spent the $23,900 on one of these agencies. Now they are charging even more, $27,900. Many of the tools they offer are tools you can get yourself. You could teach yourself pretty much everything they teach you by going through Google's programs which are free.
I caution you to think long and hard before handing your money over to this company. They are disorganized and unprofessional even though their website and email marketing program might present a different image. If you want to start your own online marketing agency, it would make way more sense to do it by "partnering" with a company that has a cohesive team of professionals that could white label their services for you.
SearchMarketMe has a whole bunch of agency owners in different parts of the country all at very different levels of expertise. Not a staff of experts who can help you at all.
Sincerely,
A very disappointed agency owne
