GBa lot of money for poor quality service, and dishonest business practices? 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

GBAwesome team! Thanks for helping us here! I am returning client for them, had used them back in 2018 when they were starting out, they had budget plans then and a model where you pay when you get results, we were also in our 3rd year and bootstrapped so decided to go with them well, it turned out as one of my best decisions at that time, as they secured around 7 press coverages for us in some of the known US-media and yes, I am happy to share that one of them was Forbes, we worked with them for around 6 months at that time. So now back in 2020 late July again we decided to do a project with them and yes, they didn't disappoint us this time as well, this time our target was Europe and well they got us some press in one Italian based media outlet, 1 in France, 1 in Dutch Media and around 3 in German Media. We completed our contract with them a week back and I am happy to write this review for them, we will definitely use their service this year as well and well I am happy to be an advocate for their service. PS - David, Utsab, Amil & Mona are some great people from their team to work with, keep it up, guys! The 4 stars is because I think this team can do more so will definitely give you the 5 after my next project with you.

HKSteer CLEAR of PromoteHour.com - Fake PR, Paid for blogs + Horrendous Customer service 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!

GBDon't waste your money 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.

GBReally enjoyed my experience with… Really enjoyed my experience with Promote Hour. They work diligently to get you in publications that you want. They are very transparent with everything they do. Their communication is consistent and their price is very affordable. Will definitely be back the next time I need PR assistance.
