Spent majority of marketing budget on 5 clicks to my site!

Alternatives Considered

Clutch

Clutch is far more successful. In the same time period, I’ve received 8 times as many clicks on Clutch at significantly less per month. I deeply regret ever signing up.

Usability is mediocre: They have a dashboard to track things but they have some antiquated system of ranking companies and don’t tell you what the logic is behind it. You also have no way to combat negative ratings or respond and try to correct them.

Support Rating

I received little help from customer service rep, Sarah. She told me I should speak to a manager to “reset my expectations”. Apparently, all the sales promises of more traffic and increase SEO were an issue with my expectations, and not the company failing to deliver.
