Overall Satisfaction with Wishpond
As a busy businessowner I trusted Wishpond to run my SEO, Google and Meta advertising, and create/implement a marketing plan to grow my business. As part of this they were to create advertising campaigns, advise me on ways to increase traffic, and monitor and provide reporting on how these were going while suggesting tweaks to make them more efficient.
- Wishpond has achieved a 0.06 ROAS in Google Adwords.
- Wispond has lost me thousands of dollars in ad spend and 'management' of the campaigns.
- Trying to deal with Wishpond has taken me away from doing the normal day-to-day activities.
- There is no area that using Wishpond has not been incredibly negative, despite my trying to sort things out numerous times.
I have used small local adwords managers in the past, but thought that having data across all channels and a big company might be able to help. Boy, was I wrong. My old guy at half the price would meet with me each month, provide a 20-page report about what was performing and what wasn't, he would go through the tweaks to be made and how they should get a better ROAS, we would look at the data and see where to go. Wishpond has done none of this, despite the promise of details reporting and monthly checkups on how it's going and where to head next. Using a small local business I had replies, what I asked was done, and it was managed. Wishpond included words I requested not to be used due to them being irrelevant to my business, and then didn't tweak the campaigns or give me data despite spending over $1,400 to generate $80 in sales.

Relationship with Wishpond
6 months of marketing management at $600 per month excluding ad spend. A marketing plan for the first 3 months was provided with a follow up meeting after that to plan the next three months. So far, five months in, most of the first plan has not been accomplished, and I have paused the campaigns as I'm better off just losing the monthly fee than keep losing so much money on the campaigns they started.
Don't go near them. Even when you have trouble and talk to superiors nothing will change and they won't follow up to make sure things are better. Don't trust their fancy sales folks.
From the quality of their work you can tell that everything is outsourced. Do it yourself, and pay them more. You'll save a fortune, the work will be done better, and you'll have some control.
