I was just complaining about them on seochat before I found this post.

These elocal people are horrible.

Of course, all of the recommendations you’ve made in this article make perfect sense. As small business owners, the competition can be fierce so when someone offers a solution to better exposure, we often fall victim to the ploy.

For several days with this company my organic ranking was good however, several weeks later I was on page 3. SEO requires constant tracking and as we know, the net is constantly changing.

I continue to receive weekly phone calls from similar companies…including eLocal Listings asking me to reconsider using them!!! Thanks for your valuable information.

Well I fell victim to these guys yesterday. They sounded like they genuinely cared, though I thought it weird that they could not supply statistics. Anyway, when I researched them an hour or so later, I immediately called CA customer service to cancel. He emailed the re-sellers he said I spoke to in PA, and suggested I do as well. I have since emailed both CA and PA and spoken to one of the guys in PA, and no one has/can confirm this has been cancelled. I do not want to lose the hard-earned Google & Yahoo rankings we have achieved.

Any other advice??

We do SEO also, but they were too lazy to visit our site to see our services.

ELocallisting.com … buyer BEWARE….

If it’s too good to be true, then it’s too good to be true.

To the author of this page, keep up the good work.

Did you even read my post?

That’s rhetorical, because it’s quite clear that you didn’t, or you would have noticed that I didn’t write this because I read some Ripoff Report and decided to summarize it.

This post was written after personal contact with eLocal. You called me. And when you called me, you weren’t prepared, you didn’t know a thing about my company or my website, you made false claims, and generally seemed like weasels. And one of the first points I made was about how your man didn’t do enough research on a website before making assumptions.

And I would love it if you would have a Google or Yahoo representative support your claim that you can submit things directly to them, since their websites and spokespeople insist that no one has that privilege. Until I can see that… then you might as well claim you guys cure cancer–it’d be just as believable.

Thanks for continuing to act in a way that only further supports our conclusions.

SCAM SCAM SCAM.

do NOT trust this company. Todd is the ring leader,
and does in fact hold false promises and money over the employees heads. The sales department, are instructed to LIE. We had weekly meetings, called THE CHURCH OF TODD to discuss loop holes, and ways to get out of giving back due monies.

Please save yourself the headache and money and DO NOT do business with them!

They just laid off half their staff, and are so, so far in debt!

They were previously: Relevant Yellow and Zone Communications.

This scam will pop up again under a 4th name!!

I also think it’s funny that you think screaming at us in all caps is the way to go here.

And I’m more inclined to believe the countless people I’ve read online who talk about how hard it is to cancel your month-to-month service, rather than believe you when you say canceling is easy.

But thanks for stopping by. Glad you enjoy your job, I guess. Good spin-docctoring… not.
