What do you like best about Clutch.co?

Poor customer service and very unresponsive, failed to answer various basic questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clutch.co?

Based on numerous Clutch 5 star recommendations, I hired a company for SEO work. I worked with this company for 5 months, spent a fair bit of money, and got minimal results. When I submitted a review of this SEO company to Clutch, they wanted more information in order to list it as a "verified" review. I sent them

numerous relevant screenshots proving that I worked with this company. And they still would not verify this review. After half a dozen unhelpful emails back and forth, I asked them to specifically tell me what they want to verify my review and/or to call me. I was told that they cannot tell me what they need to verify a review because their "review team" "keeps that information close to their chest," and "they don't do phone support call meetings."

This is a disfunctional outfit, and they have no business doing any reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I chose a company to hire based on Clutch reviews, and after my experience I was looking to review the company,. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Clutch.co?

It was easy place to review for a company. They asked deatailed information about the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clutch.co?

If you are a company looking for a platform to gather reviews I think you would be better off utilizing a different platform. Otherwise you are putting your company in serious risk. Any negative review cannot be updated no matter how you address the situation.

As a user/reviewer, I have been unable to update my review. I've tried multiple times to submit updates to my review and every request is denied. I don't think it is fair that you cannot update a review, even at the reviewer's request. Most other platforms allow the reviewer to update or delete their reviews if the situation is resolved with the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clutch.co solving and how is that benefiting you?

Platform provides the ability to leave a review on a company either positive or negative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Clutch.co?

They have an excellent team who advocate for quality agency work. I love that clients can search for exactly what type of specialized service they need to support their projects. The process of interviewing clients for reviews builds a lot of trust for agencies and solopreneurs to get their work vetted and there's no better way to build trust than with this type of transparency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clutch.co?

The process of getting a review published can take some time, because it's contingent on the client providing an interview to confirm what services were done, and their experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clutch.co solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helping validate agency work, build relationships with prospects, and help build brand awareness through a trusted online directory. It helps build visibility and the badge can bring a lot of credibility and proof. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've used clutch.co and we use it most of the time. I like all the details except the Agency size details of the companies are a little bit inaccurate. But it's not a big problem, we just use LinkedIn to check the actual size of the agencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Clutch.co?

Clean UI, dashboard, client service and ease of client review facilitation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clutch.co?

They recently added categories that have no bearing on the quality of work being done at the vendor level. Awards, social media presence, etc. Some shops simply don't enter awards shows, and to penalize ranking because of lack of awards is laughable. There are so many easy to get awards, based ranking on this is laughable. They also want you to upload your portfolio to clutch and they assess your social media interaction. All this makes their play for SEO boost trump any type of objective portal for potential buyers. Lastly, their tiered pay for listing can put anyone at the top of the list, regardless of the quality of work. We're bummed as they used to seem like one of the good aggregators that have become in vogue lately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clutch.co solving and how is that benefiting you?

None. Quite the opposite. Now we are solving the problem of slipping rankings on their site, updating another portfolio. So they actually have added to our workload and to-do list. Even with a paid spend with them, we are not seeing any benefits due to their moving the goal posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The concept is great. That's honestly about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clutch.co?

Terrible company, they boast their badge program as a means for fools like me to drive clients to their site and leave reviews for over a year, and then discriminate and only give badges to who they want to give them to, even if you're ranked #1 in a dozen categories. SHAME ON MATT AND SHAME ON CLUTCH. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Clutch.co?

The fact they accually call your customers to get the feedback from them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clutch.co?

The fact that anyone can pay to be "top firm", and how they would put other agency profiles in the middle of yours and ask for money to remove them (cost USD 1500). Given the fact that this was supposed to be a "Trust based" website, that their VP was formed around "Real" feedback etc.. this is such a malpractice practice that is the exact opposite of their Value Prop. The website lost its purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clutch.co solving and how is that benefiting you?

They were calling your customers to collect honest and real, unbiased feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
