Overall Satisfaction with RankWatch

That the product gets reviews at a very local level and we can track for multiple projects is good. The UI is pathetic, however. The audits are mostly incorrect.
I have had a very bad experience with their support. I purchased the Black Friday deal and when the 3 months ended, I canceled. So they offered me another discount to continue (they offered because they marked me in another mail they were supposed to send to another customer). I accepted and started using it.
After 3 months, the account got renewed and I was charged approx $250. The immediate next day I asked for a refund as I wanted to cancel, but they refused any refund. I have not heard of any SaaS company not offering refunds.
They are very prompt in calling you, but they offered no solution. At the end they offered to refund for 2 out of the future 3 months. But asked me to cancel after 1 month (and if I don't do that, I will be charged again).
I asked them to cancel my account immediately and they did that happily (without the refund of course).
Bad experience. Never going to use this product ever again!
  • Local rankings.
  • Multiple projects.
  • Cheap with discounts.
  • SaaS policies.
  • Support.
  • User Interface.
  • Very expensive without discounts.
They were not cooperative at all. They just said this is not in our policies, we will get back to you, etc. The mail that comes in is confusing. Should be a support panel or chat on the site instead.
