Title: Carpet cleaning network
Post by: tonner0 on June 30, 2014, 06:06:23 pm
Has anybody come across Carpet cleaning network? Marketing people, I had several emails and then a phone call telling me  they could find me 20 new jobs a month (yes, we have heard it all before). They would provide a website, get me at the top of Google listings and do the adwords for me, charging a one off £500 and then £100 a month and for at least the first two months £120 for the adwords. I negotiated the £500 down to £420 but it is still sounding expensive to me even though there is no contract. I just wondered if anyone on here uses them or has heard of them. Apparently they work for Chem Dry and are talking with Servicemaster currently.

I had emails from them which I deleted. I don't remember them even having a website at the time.

Number of companies in our network: 125

Number of sales orders within the last 30 days: 4382

Number of testimonials: 1 :-(

have I ever seen or heard of them in google search results: no

Is it it an adwords sales campaign.....probably but you could do that yourself

Should you keep your money? well they only have one testimonial from 125 companies with 4382 sales in the last month :-(

Apparently, they are an offshoot of Digital Incubator - allegedly ... "Britain's top digital marketing firm", whose site has three whole pages indexed by Google.

They were derived from this company    http://www.carservicingnetwork      .co.uk/servicing-sales_about_us.html  

It's not for me.

Thanks for your replies Gary and Mike. Interesting. Still very dubious, probably give it a miss. So many marketing people contacting me now, it's hard to know what to do for the best!
