"Poor Choice For Small Business Marketing/Lead Gen"
What do you like best about SmartBug Media?

Highly knowledgeable in how to use the CRM/Hubspot

The support team is competent, personable, and friendly. Really enjoyed our Account Strategist. Also enjoyed those filling in during absence-they were just stretched. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartBug Media?

You pay $7k per month for 40 hrs. If 3 people from their team join a call ( at their discretion) you are charged for all 3 etc. (those hours rack up quick!) If you ask questions about things not done-they charge hours for multiple people looking into it... (nice luxury as a provider) We signed up for marketing/growth-in initial calls we shared it was our focus including amount to generate. Nobody verbalized this was not possible until we questioned lack of results-then were told "the contract says" READ- THE CONTRACT- please don't rely on the people to share their limitations. Staff is incredibly kind but became VERY STRETCHED for some months (during a leave) and output is minimal compared to cost. No concessions for their shortcomings-the bottom line was pay for contract. Quality and integrity did not appear to be a motive. Moving forward, it is a huge lesson learned-read the fine print, look for unsolicited reviews and trust nothing that is not in writing. We should not have missed that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Kitchen Tune-Up Franchise Using SmartBug for PPC"
What do you like best about SmartBug Media?

Smartbug knows the ins and outs of the Google search engine extremely well. Our customer service rep is constantly looking at our PPC results to see what modificaitons can to be made for better outcomes. If something isn't working well he will do the legwork to see what needs to be tweaked and run it by us before the change is made. Overall our return on add spend has been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartBug Media?

As with any business we'd always like to see more leads. Even though Smartbug is doing a great job, we'd appreciate more sales opportunities and customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
