PromotehourReviews of promotehour.com

Promised us a review. Needed 50% payment upfront, even though their pitch is that we would only pay on success. We paid. Nothing happened. Shame on me. Jit was responsive for a bit, but has gone missing recently, and we are writing off our 50%. You should write off these guys too, but do so before giving them any money.

First, read the 5* reviews. You will easily notice they are written in the same style and almost for sure they are fake. Other reviewers already noticed it. About my experience. They promised me to write a marketing article and have it published in 4 good reliable resources. The article they have prepared was absolutely illiterate lame bunch of keywords. It was full of mistakes, tautology, and super primitive school level language. I'm not a native speaker and I hoped they had marketing gurus who would write something cool, but they outsourced it to someone who barely spoke English. I had to rewrite everything! As far as publishing the article. They promised that the campaign (including writing the article) would take 6 weeks, but it took 6 months with no real results. At the beginning they promised that our article would be featured in TechCrunch, TheNextWeb, Daily Mail, Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Fortune (the list is from their email). In fact, all articles have been posted on some crappy websites specifically created for posting paid articles. Some are so bad that links are not even properly highlighted and you cannot find a link to your website in the article you paid for. Interesting that all these websites include fake number of facebook shares and number of views. When you see all that, you feel yourself a scammer too.  Extremely bad experience! Promotehour are scammers. UPDATE: March 15, 2023. Nobody contacted me. They keep lying and throwing dust in the eyes. Their "3x growth" was obviously 3x growth of scam. Dec 31, 2023. Still no news from Promotehour, nobody got in touch. They are surely scammers, never trust anything they say. Dec 10, 2024. Still nothing. Liars and cons :)

Firstly they don't deliver what they promise and then they don't even refund the deposit we paid as per their money back guarantee. It's been 3 months we have been following up with them for the refund but no response. STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS, don't waste your time and money here.

They are a big lie!!

Complete waste of money. The only articles they got for me were with sites that I could have made my own submissions like Medium. Also, their writing was absolutely horrible. I had to rewrite everything they sent me. Furthermore, I suspect most of these reviews are fake. There seems to be a pattern. When they get 1 bad review in the next few days they swamp their profile with fake good reviews.

Don't waste your money: I've used their services for a couple of PR campaigns — sadly, very poor results — ended up being «featured» on various link farms and barely heard of foreign websites irrelevant to my service demographics. Friendly bunch though.

OK let start off with these guys are just trying to make a living. They do provide service. But it's not that high quality. And I must post about it because I feel many of these trustpilot 5-star reviews are bought and faked. This is going to be a rather harsh review, I really apologize. They cold-email hundreds of founders on IndieHackers (which is probably how they found me). Another review on here said you're basically paying $300 for an email list. Not exactly correct, but it's more or less the same effect. You also get their Press Release writing service and email pitch service, but it's so poor quality and such poor english that you have to write it yourself anyway. At least 10-20% of the emails they sent out had bounced. At least 10-20% of the emails were not even to journalists relevant to my product and niche. You can get it for far cheaper by hiring off Upwork. I was thinking about leaving 2-star review if these guys were honest, but unfortunately I don't think they are. I changed it to 1-star after reading the other bad reviews on here and also after realizing that I think a lot of the 5-star reviews are faked

I read Reddit and TrustPilot for PromoteHour.com reviews and was hesitant as I couldn't seen any direct correlation between the articles they claim to have posted and ROI on backerkit. The reviews also sound too good to be true. It turns out they will give u a list of hundreds of contacts. For 3000usd they will supposedly contact each and every contact. Which, they simply don't do. Long story short, they are only selling u an email list. Then pay $100 or so to a site that has "gamed" the Ahrefs Domain Authority system. For $1500 deposit, we received only 3 conversions on a $69 product. When i tried to renogotiate kindly over a one day period, the project manager was making false claims about her delivery results. one of the articles was a negative review one was posted but had fake DA ranking third post was from me contacting someone not in the list they provided me and the blog posted from my press release notes, not the pitch they sent. After 20 days, and only $750 raised on my Indiegogo campaign, we decided to ask to have the 2 posts (one negative and one that we got posted ourself), credited to our next campaign. It really isn't the money that is the issue. It is more the principle. Then two people in the company said that since there was a contract, they were in the right. I really wanted to believe in Promote Hour. Their customer service begs for more. UPDATE: they are now trolling my review. I want to say that if you want to have articles posted for the purpose of back-linking, then pay them $3000 and they will give you around $300 worth of paid listings. Many of the emails bounce if you buy the email lists from them. Phandroid we contacted on our own and we have proof. Please contact us and we can show you screeshot showing it was our own efforts and NOT Promotehour's. The Italian SmartWorld link they posted was a PodCast with WASN’T part of the agreement. The other Italian article was NEGATIVE even though the blogger didn't ask questions about the product or receive review unit. The only positive review was TuttoAndroid. Our other campaign SportsMask on raised $750! They sent me some weird Indian site which they had post the article. It got ZERO traffic so we paused that campaign. the worst thing about PromoteHour isn't the overpricing, bounced emails, or the negative reviews, it is their attitude. You can see on the comments how they are not being honest and are disclosing customers details (which is probably not legal）。 I've contacted other people that they have on their testimonials and they also are saying the same thing. You don't have to trust our review, read past the fake reviews on Trustpilot, sitejabber and reddit, and contact some of the actual people they "claim" to be doing PR work for. Thanks!
