INPromoteHour for halfchess.com between Oct 21 - Jan 22 I engaged PromoteHour for their services for my app halfchess.com between Oct 21-Jan 22. My takeaway was that for my category (B2C apps), they don't really work. 1. I did not get any bump in downloads from their coverage. There were 4-5 publications, but they did not show up on the analytics dashboard. There was no different in page visits or downloads on days before the coverage and after the coverage. So maybe the articles were published, but never discovered. 2. I also did not get coverage in the publications that actually might have mattered (where my competitor app reallybadchess.com could manage a coverage - like TouchArcade, TechCrunch, The Verge, etc). If you have a ecom product that you want to sell internationally (say a crowd-funding campaign) or a B2B product, they might still work; but they don't seem to work for B2C products like mine. Publications I received that did not show up on analytics dashboard (feel free to google below).

EEAbsolutely FAKE PR, don't waste your time and 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.

INTried its Coverage plan for my newly … Tried its Coverage plan for my newly launched app. They got me covered on VentureBeat. Totally bang on the buck for $399. I have tried far more expensive agencies in the past and they result has been mixed. Definitely recommended for newly launched startups.

GBWould recommend! Easy to work with, very straightforward, and they delivered on exactly what we needed! Recommended if you need to offload some of the manual searching labor to a team who's done it for you.
