Marketing 360® Anmeldelser 

Was thinking of giving this a shot ,as a small business owner, I am trying to grow and after reading the reviews,Wow feel bad that all these folks that got duped!!

It has been a nightmare dealing with this company. The sales pitch was great - they could sell water to a whale. The first round of logos they provided us were.....TERRIBLE. I mean, it looked like my 10yo nephew made them on Canva. We were shocked this was the result after forking over a hefty amount of money. We could have done better ourselves. Next was the website design. Which took forever. With spelling errors and not what we wanted or spoke about. It's like they weren't even listening. Impossible to get status updates, everything was drawn out, impossible to get ahold of our marketing "success" manager. Lots of talking in circles. Zero leads. We enabled "call tracking" and were bombarded with calls, one after the other, with people looking for a different company!!! It said these calls were the result of ads...we had no active ads running, and they had a different company linked to ours!!! IT'S ALL A SCAM, run far away!!!!

Complete waste of money. The sales rep will over promise and tell you everything you want to hear. Communication was great up until they took my first check. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and stuck with them for about 6 months hoping things would improve. I even let them know what I needed better communication.

They do the bare minimum. They don’t even take the time to learn about your business and don’t run things by you. I would find typos and content that didn’t even align with our offerings. They were constantly running behind schedule and never showed concrete metrics or results. They also make you pay for and use their $375/month software that is pretty useless.

Would have to send 2-3 emails over the course of 5-7 days before getting a response from my account manager. This was a common theme despite me bringing it to their attention.

I spent thousands with them and received no return on the marketing end. Materials produced were very basic and you could tell they were just going through the motions with no true regard for getting results.

Worst mistake
I regret even talking to them. I built my own website and marketing, when I hired them, my online visits went down to almost ZERO. RUN RUN RUN
I know a lot of online reviews you must take it wih a grin of salt but this one is accurate.

As a small business I was introduced to this company by Volusion, the hosting company I have been with for 15 years, they have taken so much money from me and done just about nothing. I have been crying for help and they are just ignoring me. Totally horrified, this has been a massive rip off, their Senior marketing consultant, Dave, assured me they would be attentive and professional. Now that they have my money this guy ignores my emails and desperate requests for help. Volusion representative and Dave were in constant contact from August, they started in late September and now Dec I have nothing to show for the massive amount paid to them. How do I get help?

SCAMMERS! The worst decision we made when it comes to marketing.

It all true according to my experience! All of the reviews that I have read lead me to believe that they are all legit. My experience is very similar to all the rest of the these. I hired them in February of 2023 and thats when it all starting rolling down hill. First of all it took 3 months for them to even get my website made and up and running. They were also supposed to design my new logo (which they did eventually) but took longer to do than getting my website up.

They did nothing to improve my Google page and organic standing but they did take my money and ran paid ads with mediocre results. I ended up with 2 different marketing managers and 2 different website content managers which I never heard from. The content I asked to be placed on the website was not done so. To be honest it is hard to say if anyone is in charge at this place. I asked several times to speak with management/supervision and all I ever received was an email back from my "marketing manager" telling me that they are on track and that they have been doing everything that they are required to do and this was sent in a very defensive tone.

All in all I spent about $10,000 with them and I am not any better off than when I started with them. As a matter of speaking, I am worse off. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT use Marketing360/Madwire for any marketing purposes.

On a side note, this company does not have any Google page and you actually have to look to see reviews, this is so they can try and control what people say.

This would be a long story
This would be a long story. Just save yourself. They took almost 7 grand and did nothing but give a incomplete website, without doing thigs I requested.
Its even worse than that, just save yourself and use someone else.
When I'm working on my web site I get so frustrated and when that happens I will spending my time giving reviews about 360.
I think we all should get together and hire a lawyer

I see that my review back then says I'm not a real person but here I am ! My phone number is posted and I have had several calls from others that have been ripped off by them as well. TRUSTPILOT here I am am !

Run away as fast as you can. Worst decision I ever made. High-pressure sales to get you to sign up and then you have to chase them to get anything done. And when they do get something done, it's so bad, no thought or creativity. They lie and promise everything and deliver nothing. STAY AWAY from this scam fraud company, they only want your money. I am still trying to get my money back. They laugh all the way to the bank.

Save your money and time and do even think about it. They are glad to take your money and then that is the end of the story. I can't really even think of 1 good thing to say about them.

Not worth the expense!
The start of the relationship was great. I was impressed with the initial research they did and some of their thoughts. Our goal was to improve our messaging to better reflect what we do. We already had a basic wordpress site up but the info needed some work. So I signed up.

I received this video telling me what information they need so they could better understand who we are as a company and what we are trying to convey to customers. Our site was supposed to be updated to better reflect us and our mission. I created the document with all the answers and info.

Fast forward one month. I get an email that ads are ready to run. The website still has the same info on it! A bit cleaned up but all the same info. Does not reflect our goal of better illustrating us, our services or our goals. Doesn't even include one of the 2 major products we want to market!

I was told that as a promotion we would receive a video to use on the site advertising our services. This never happened and yet "we are ready to send out ads"

I am not a wordpress expert but I do not see any SEO work or plugins. I am going to have to a Marketing Director friend of mine review this and see if anything was even done.

So, now I am trying to figure out how to make all of these updates myself and paying other people to help properly display the information that was supposed be done by this group.

I can't believe how much money I spent and this the result.

Full disclosure - I never ended up hiring them, so this is not a review of their performance. This is a review of my encounter with Kyle - their Marketing rep.

As an MBA graduate and the owner of a successful business I know a thing or two about how to attract customers. Clearly Kyle uses a different approach, one word to describe - pushing. Other words - aggressive, annoying, doesn’t take ‘no’ for an answer. Someone you just can’t get off your back and who won’t honor your request to stop contacting you. I ended up blocking him. Whew… Definitely won’t be hiring them!!

worse experience every. the biggest con I've ever experience!

My actual rating is zero. If you're a small professional business looking to scale, I urge you to think twice before trusting Marketing 360 with your marketing needs. Despite their promises to help improve our website, boost organic rankings, and optimize SEO, our experience with the company was a complete disappointment. From the start, the salesperson made grand promises that never came through, leaving us feeling deceived and misled. Plus - the services offered are high priced for a small business marketing budget.

Although I had hoped that a non-local, "big" company like Marketing 360 (madwire) would be the answer to my marketing needs, the reality was far from what I expected. The first website they created for us looked like it was designed by an amateur and was actually worse than our previous website. When we decided to cancel our contract, a person higher up the management ladder convinced us that it was just a miscommunication and that things would improve.

However, five long months later and after painstaking review and corrections, we finally re-launched our website, only to find that all our thousands of dollars had gone towards re-creating a website we already had the content for that looked a little better. We have already made changes with our new company. Marketing 360 created a few new pages, and a couple of low-value videos were also done. Both required serious scrutiny on our part. It, sadly, was a complete waste of time and money.

In short, I implore you to be wary of Marketing 360's empty promises and lack of talent. Don't make the same mistake we did by trusting them with your precious marketing budget. Instead, seek out a company that values transparency, honesty, and delivering real results. Your business deserves better than what Marketing 360 has to offer.

I will admit they had a couple of nice people we worked directly with. Despite their nice demeanor, we found that the actual execution of their marketing services fell far short of our expectations. Their work was not up to par, and we were left feeling disappointed and dissatisfied with the results. If you're considering working with Marketing 360, I encourage you to proceed with caution and do your research beforehand. Based on my experience and the negative reviews I've seen on Trustpilot (unfortunately, after the fact), better options may exist for your marketing needs. This was a very hard lesson learned for us, and in reality, we have little trust for anyone marketing themselves as a full-scale marketing program for small businesses.

I will also join anyone who wants to file a class action lawsuit against this company. They have held our website hostage and will not allow us to move it to another site even after they sent an email saying that they are going to retire the UXI platform in June. We've had nothing but terrible service with them for the past 3 years.

Dear reader, deciding to work with Marketing 360 / MADWIRE was the worst and poorest investment of money I have made. Worse than the waste of money is the waste of time. I can get more money, but I’ll never recover the time I spent frivolously over 14 months trying to work with the people at Marketing 360 / MADWIRE.

I partnered with Marketing 360 / MADWIRE from February 2022 – March 2023. Giving credit where credit is due, they did an excellent job creating my website. It looked good, and I was happy with it. However, in fairness to Marketing 360 / MADWIRE, I was not the most accessible customer. It sometimes took me longer than appropriate to respond and make decisions on the first iteration of the website. However, when we finally published the website – I was pleased. That is the only thing they did right.

To have an account manager on the account, Marketing 360 / MADWIRE requires you to have a minimum monthly content budget of $300.00. This content budget can be used for one of their professional “writers” to create blog content and other standard copy for the webpage. They do not tell you that a 10-sentence blog post will cost you $300.00. They do not tell you that their professional “writers” do not write at a standard above what you would expect from a 6th-grade student. There is zero transparency in pricing. I had no input over when those content dollars will be spent or how they would be spent.

When I addressed this with my account manager, he blamed me for not responding. He said they were writing according to what they thought was appropriate and that I should trust the process. Again I was not always timely in responding. However, I should have editorial privilege over my website and brand and be able to review and approve all copy written for me. I logged on to the website editor and deleted the “content” that their “professional” writers created. Since I did take a long to reply, I decided not to complain and accept that my delay was the cause for that, and we moved on. I told the account manager that I did not want, under any circumstances, any other content to be written for me. There are AI writers that produce much higher quality content than what their “professional writers” are creating. I followed up on that request with an email, and he acknowledged that request.

Fast forward two months, and again, I am reviewing my account details and see $900.00 in content charges. I looked at the blog, and much to my amazement, there were two more blog posts. They were written with the same grade school quality. There were 20 sentences written for $900.00. They were charging me $45.00 per sentence. Again, I logged on and deleted that garbage myself. I asked for my money to be credited back, and after a month of waiting, I was met with an offer to create one video that could be used on my website. This was the beginning of the end for me. Now I am watching every single charge they are making to my account. So far, I am $1,200.00 in the hole.

In the meantime, giving my account manager the benefit of the doubt, I begin adding money to an advertising budget for Facebook and Google Ads. Marketing 360 / MADWIRE charged me $200.00 to write four sentences on two ads.

After the final meeting with the account manager, I terminated my contract with Marketing 360 / MADWIRE. I was not paying a single dollar more to them to watch it vanish into thin air for content that is nothing more than overpriced garbage and to manage a Google dashboard that a trained monkey can learn to click around on. Upon terminating my account, they kept the $1000 left in the advertising budget for ads they never ran; they kept the $600.00 left in my content budget and shut down my website. As I was reading other reviews on here, I was laughing to myself reading their lackadaisical responses to other negative reviews and the invitation to check out reviews from their other customers who love them. Interestingly, Top Rated Local is directly integrated into the Marketing 360 / MADWIRE platform. Who owns them? Just a thought.

Suppose anyone wants to contact me for more information, proof of my dealings with Marketing 360 / MADWIRE, or records of my conversations with every person on their team. I have it all in that case and would welcome the discussion, perhaps even a class-action lawsuit. Anytime I have an opportunity to tell my story about how Marketing 360 / MADWIRE over-promised, under-achieved, hides their fees, overcharges for substandard work, and will delete your website, ad copy, and everything that you paid for while you were with them - I will sing like a bird.

To that end, dear reader, and fellow small business owner, here is my advice - run for your life. Save your time and money. Look elsewhere. Marketing 360 / MADWIRE is not who and what they say they are.

Iv been wanting to write this review for awhile. Marketing 360 is the WORST company!!!!! I hate hate hate them!!
RUN!
They scammed me for all the money I have . They are very careless and don’t care what’s best for you and your business. They are greedy and took all of my savings. I told them I can’t pay and want off the website. They never listened and now I have to contact a lawyer.
Please be careful who you trust!

This company is legit. They assign you a team and treat you like family. I can call at anytime and ask questions that will get answered. My company American Prime Roofing has been using their service for over a year and we are satisfied with their expertise. Jerry Kelly and his team are my go to for marketing.

If I could give 0 stars I would. This company is a complete scam and took me and my family for well over 50,000. I brought them my own business as well as my sisters and while they were pretty responsive to me, they were not with her. They completely ignored her and refused to advertise for her on Google due to the nature of her business which was complete BS considering she was selling statues and incense and stuff.. just being predjudice. As for my company, they did not deliver a single sale for my company and told me it was essentially my fault because of my prices and that I wasn't giving them enough money. (Products from 1-$25) I started paying them double my monthly bill for an "ad specialist" that really didn't do anything at all. Their Facebook ads are terrible and after I started posting my own ads and making all of my money spent on the ads plus some, I realized how badly I was being scammed by these people. The last two meetings I had with my manager he kept trying to push me to add on another whopping $995 for a Facebook manager, and although I had been managing my Facebook just fine they had absolutely no idea how well my company was doing on there and he was surprised I was successful. Then suddenly they decided to say they will switch my Google ad credits to Facebook ads, well why didn't we try that months ago? I put in my 30days notice not even a week after my billing cycle right after that and took my own website down, they put it back up and harassed me for weeks after the fact threatening me with their "legal team" and taking down my website and stopping everything if I don't pay my last bill... also, I explained that I don't understand why I am being charged for a service that was not provided to me, the manager acknowledged he was aware that I was not provided the service, but proceeded to tell me that it was their policy. Also, to chime in on them being predjudice, they offered my sister to keep her website up and to use the platform for $500/month, they were going to do it for my company for $65/month. They are SCAMMERS. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

Market 360 is a dishonest company. They take your money and do nothing. I was promised a website in 30 days, but thousands of dollars later, no website. Stay far away from this company. Much better choices out there.
