“Boostabiltiy is the #1 for SEO Results”

Nick C.
11/6/20

I own a Print and WebDesign company, KIARO Computer Solutions (kiarosolutions.com). I use Boostability for my Search Engine Optimization needs for my client, Clayton Industries (claytonindustries.com). As a professional of web site design and maintenance for more than 20 years, I can truly say that Boostability is, by far, the best in their industry. I have used other companies in the past for SEO services, but I never received the outstanding results that I have in the past two years with Boostability. Two years ago, I had the need to replace my previous SEO company. I did a lot of research and settled on five top-rated providers. After reaching out to all five and interviewing each over the phone, I immediately felt that Boostability was the one for me. In our initial talks, it appeared to me that they outlined the most comprehensive and best plan for my needs, and they did it in a professional manner. I am always very skeptical when bringing on any service provider, but the demeanor they portrayed put me at ease as I felt they were authentic and knowledgeable. ClaytonIndustries.com is an international web site and demands SEO professionals that really know their business. My client and I agreed that they were very impressive. Now, after two years working with them, I can whole-heartedly assess that they are number 1 in the SEO industry. The representatives with whom I have worked take a real personal and professional interest in the needs of our company and they are reliable and trustworthy. Micheal Alamo, and later Ryan Goodwin, have continually impressed me with their knowledge of SEO and their professional demeanor. This is also reflective of others on the Boostability team with whom I have spoken. They are very flexible with my client's needs and offer me great technical direction to keep the web site relevant and fresh. In combination with all the tasks they undertake in creating an ever-widening Internet presence, they "Boost" our results every month. Our search engine results continually improve as our "main" and "halo" keywords keep moving upward towards page one results on Google. From the start, my client had seen an increase in inquiries for both sales and service. And this to me is the most important result. If you are looking for real results with a team of seasoned SEO Professionals, then you should call Boostability. I have total faith in the company's abilities based on two-years' experience with them. I am certain they could bring the same results to you.

I absolutely love when I get my monthly call from Boostability! My rep, Micheal, is very informative and is helpful in every way imaginable. I don't feel like I'm paying someone just to get feedback. Boostability has helped me get my company's website in tip top condition and keep it that way. Always eager to help without being "selly" or trying to push other services.

I hired Boostability for improving my ranking on google.
They are good to sell you the services, but there is no professionality and no competence... they created toxic backlinks, and unrelevant contents... and they also inserted my 1st competitor in the same guest post!
Their backlinks services is composed by 99% of toxic/unrelevant links and 1% guest post from a blog with a lower DA than me (and from a blog created just for guest posto so you also risk to be PENALIZED BY GOOGLE).
All positive reviews are clearly FAKE!

Completely over promised and under delivered. I hired Boostablilty for an 18 month period where I was charged $1000 per month for "SEO" work. By the end of the service my SEO placement was not close to being accomplished, not a single lead received and I had to hire a new SEO company to UNDO the mistakes they had made. Not only was the service sub par but every time I tried to cancel I was told a bed of lies to stay on only to find the same lackluster results months later. Do not hire this company.

We have been with Boostability for just about a year. They have been very easy to work with and have answered all of the questions we have had about our campaigns and why they are doing what they do. When we have had questions about onsite recommendations they have been open to answering them. I would recommend this company to other businesses looking to boost their SEO rankings!

We have switched from many SEO companies and SEO freelancers in the past with the hope of ranking our new website and I've never encounter someone as knowledgeable in the field as Zachary Blackburn. Zach's professionalism is top notch and he has done an incredible job giving us advices, fresh ideas, and showing his care for our website. I'll definitely recommend Boostability to my friends.

I have been working with Boostability for the last 2 months and they are excellent to work with. Their SEO team has been great with following up with me on their progress and objective goals that they have accomplished as well as a plan for the next month. In a few short months of working with them, I have already been in the first 2-4 pages of one of my key word searches. I am looking forward to accomplishing one of our goals in the next several months of attaining the first page on some of my key word searches. I have also seen an increase in the traffic on my website and their marketing team was able to create a very targeted page on my website that coincides with my key word searches. I would highly recommend any small to medium size business who is looking to grow their business through SEO marketing to give Boostability a call. I find all the members of their SEO team to be very smart, hard working and extremely focused on my business.

Boostability is a scam company. I recently contacted them for outreach backlinks for my blog.

Initially, they recommended some terrible keywords. I already knew the keywords we wanted to rank for, because we did our own research. After coming back with the recommended keywords, was the first time I was worried. The keywords weren't buyer intent, like I needed for this particular post, and they didn't even make any sense. I get the feeling they were just longtail keywords that they felt they could VERY quickly rank for, and then take credit for page trust we already had.

Then they got started on the "work" for the month. After paying $1600 for the month, I got 1 backlink from a site with NO rankings, and NO traffic.

1... Bad... Backlink... that would likely hurt more than it would help. Then they added a bunch of other "hours" of made-up crap work, which mostly consisted of doing blog posts.

2. I wrote them immediately after that and told them I wanted a refund. They responded saying they wanted to talk to me. I didn't respond because I was DONE with them after the complete sh*t work they provided, after promising that they only work with blogs and sites that have real traffic.

I looked at the blog posts, and they literally look like websites that are exact copies of eachother. My guess is that boostability simply gets free blog websites, pays a writer to write a decent post, and then uploads it to their own fake blogs.

Unless I get full refund from them. This review is going EVERYWHERE on the internet.

The company responded quickly and refunded the entire $500 that I paid. My experience may have been a one-off situation that can happen even with the best companies. I hope the positive reviews on this site are more reflective of the average user experience.

I joined, paid $500, and after more than 2 weeks they finally emailed me the keywords they were going to rank my site for. It was obvious that their 'team' hadn't done even the most basic research of visiting my website - they simply went to the backend of my WordPress site. The keywords were not relevant to my site. The next day, after explaining why the keywords weren't relevant I was told I would have to wait until after I paid next month's fee of $400 to get them updated. In other words, after $900 they would use keywords that were relevant to my site. After I pushed back, they agreed to update the keywords - one week later they sent me the new keywords which, unbelievably, still weren't anything close to what my website is about. This is after I clearly explained in an email who my customer is - in one sentence of about 10 words. It seems that Boostability is really more of a front end sales organization designed to get your credit card and then hope you don't cancel.

I just started with Boostability. I hired them yesterday with a $500 down payment and a commitment to continue paying for 90 days to see if they can meet my needs and make good on their promises. My welcome meeting with them is today at 2 PM Eastern time 11-27-2012.

I gotta admit, they sell well. I spoke several times with a guy named Jessie. He is professional, likeable, and seems to know his stuff. Boostability's prices appear reasonable, and they make promises that appear reasonable.

That said, I see a plethora of negative comments and bad experiences from their customers here. I take those with a grain of salt because the happy customers speak out much less then disgruntled ones do, and because they have some rave reviews mixed with poor reviews.

My intention is to make regular updates to this site and to publish my experiences over the next 90 days on my twitter account on a weekly basis. I'm anxious to discover if this company can live up to its promises or not.

The promises made to me by Jessie include:

1. Development of a professional looking website
2. Complete development of the eCommerce components allowing me to derive revenue from the site
3. Complete transparency as to what they are doing, when they are doing it,
4. Regular analytic s that measure, traffic, as well as my return on investment.

I'm looking to earn, twice what I spend on this site before I'll call this a success. So I'm spending $500 per month with an expectation to reach a revenue level of $1500 per month within 5 months. I'm requesting boo stability to acknowledge this expectation in a letter of understanding.

I want to be fair to boostability. It is not their responsibility to sell my product, price my product, or make a profit for me. They're responsibility is to simply provide me what I ask for in a timely fashion and to honor their word with integrity.

I'm hoping that over the next 90 days I will become their biggest (and loudest) fan.

I'll keep you posted so check back.

I hired Booststability in September 2018. They promised me that they will work with Google Bing and Yahoo to place my company on the first pages, in six months and even some keyword in 3 months.
After the third month, I called Booststability and ask them what can I do to help. Booststabilitya asked me to pay $400 (i did) after 6 month
Nobody was able to find my company and I called them to find out what's going on and what should I do to help They told me that I should wait for another month. They were sending reports but I was still invisible on the web. I called again, the answer was that I should wait two more months. After the 9th-month they blame everything on google. They told me that Google won't recognize my company. I paid them $5.800 and 9 months of business and they did not do anything just fake report and now I have to hire somebody who knows what to do. Boostability constantly lies to people. I do not advise people to deal with these crooks. Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY from Boostability. They are crooks running a dishonest business and trying lie to people by any means possible. I do not understand, after all the negative reviews on Yelp and BBB this company is still in business

My search traffic has increased dramatically in less than a month.

Dear Boostability Account Manager,

Sorry for taking so long to respond to the numerous regular emails and voice messages you've been leaving me these past couple of months since not renewing my contract with your company.

Just so you know, the main reason why I chose not to renew was because after the 3-month trial period I gave your company I saw absolutely zero return on my investment from your company's efforts. Then when I wrote to you informing you of my wish to cancel, somehow you overlooked or maybe just ignored that request and continued to bill my credit card for a fourth month. (I wonder if you were ever told by your a/r that I had to have my credit card company dispute the ongoing charge that was made without my consent.) Maybe this is how your company pressures you in your job as an account manager, because then you proceeded to try to upsell me into paying even more money presumably to make "more progress" that I never saw in the first place.

Lastly, there's the aspect pertaining to customer service. I'm sure that you are very good at what you do for some of your clients and sadly I was not one of them. But I found it interesting that while there was scant direct contact during the 3 months of our engagement (but I understand, when I'm only shelling out $360/mo you can only devote so much time), once my campaign was no longer "active" on credit card autopilot I was suddenly hearing from you almost every day.

All in all, your company has too many shady practices for a business that failed to deliver any kind of meaningful return on my investment. No wonder there are so many complaints against Boostability. If you don't mind, I'd like to contribute my experience as well so that other business owners are better aware of what they're actually getting for your SEO services.

Sincerely,
A regretful customer

They are a new and fast growing Utah company that needs your money. They must have a friend on the local newspaper's staff; always getting a write up. Their staff is constantly being changed, moved, let go or quit. You've heard the saying "If it's too good to be true..." Too big too fast, no customer service is the immediate problem. They've hired a lot of local young people to push, push and push their company. I suggest that you look around before you commit to them. It will catch up with them.

I have used a few other companies for my online advertising. I generally had to try to get in touch with them if I didn't feel satisfied with how things were going. But with Boostability, I have been satisfied from the start with the results and they get in touch with me monthly either by phone or email, and I have one person that I deal with on a continuing basis. I wish they were cheaper, but you can't have everything, and it has been worth it.

My experience with Boostability has been a very positive one. The services they provided for me were a custom built website, social media campaign, and SEO services.

The website they built was beautiful, functional, and a huge driver for business. I have been complimented on it several times and people have told me that they felt confident they were doing business with an established professional company just because we had such a professional looking website. It is easy to do simple things like update the content, and if there is anything out of my skill set that needs to be done the website maintenance team takes care of it quickly.

The Social Media Campaign has also been beneficial for growing my business. There are so many little details for small businesses for worry about, not having to fuss about generating content for the business Facebook page has been awesome. I have received way more likes and follows than I would have been able to get on my own. I also really enjoy the tool they have that lets me schedule out my own custom content.

SEO is voodoo magic to me. I know it's important but I don't understand it and I don't want to take the time to try to understand it! I have already enjoyed one round of first place rankings and am on my way to ranking with a new search criteria. Everyone uses the internet to find services these days, so I can not stress how fantastic it is to be the first place people find, it is awesome!

Service from Boostability is personal, professional, and efficient. They are great at answering my questions, meeting my needs, and making me feel like a valued customer. I would highly recommend them to any business serious about growing.

Very Very Poor work. After 4 months I became very tired of correcting their onsite mistakes and only 15% of their offsite stuff was effective. 97% for the keyword posts were never accepted by blogs because the person doing the work has no idea of making the posts stick! After 4 months of directory submitting only 1 out of 57 submissions were accepted. The did do 4 articles but 2 of them were combined blogs posts with other companies they promote and two were kicked back being 100% irreverent to the site they posted the blog article. They do not police their own work I had to. I spend hours checking their work, finding mistakes and so forth. I'm an IT person person who runs 5 difference commence sites and I would never let these guy ever work for me or any of my clients.
