      This company will try and take over your business, it said on thr website you can cancel before it goes live and they wouldn't cancel and told me I was locked in for 6 months, and couldn't cancel at all, I had my own website they wouldn't let me use and put a different number on the site, then did a Google biz profile and won't let me claim my page but I got a postcard sent to take my business back they said I will go to collections I begged them and told them they could keep the initial payment of $2023 but no they still charge my card this company is not worth it and at thr end of six months they will take all your review website and try to control your business.

      This company is completely unethical and a scam. Almost $13,000 later they still charged me even after cancelling their services. They were so proud to tell me they got me to the top of search for certain key words. What they left out was that NO ONE within the company took the time to look at google analytics and realize no one is searching the terms they were charging me for. Run far and fast from these guys. Horribly unprofessional and unethical.

      Cancelling Service
      I emailed my rep to cancel service, they continued to charge my credit card.
      I called HIBU and they said they would cancel the service if I would confirm all past payments as valid.
      I refused and am disputing my credit card bill.
      This takes my time and HIBU's time.
      Be careful as HIBU is not trustworthy.

      Tried Hibu once and it didn't work for me. Fine, no problem. I canceled the service. Fast forward a few years, I get a random sales call from them. I told him I was not interested. No problem right? The next week, two salesman walked into my shop. They admitted that they were from Hibu, had already been told that I wasn't interested, and were trying to pitch me. I told them again I wasn't interested, and they kept trying to pitch me. Didn't think they were gonna leave, but they did when I told them that I had work to do and then stared them down. I'll tell you what, I didn't have bad feelings before, but there's no way I would do business with a company that tries to force themselves on you like that after I said no.

      They reinstated my contact without my consent and refused to cancel it or stop billing me. The representative was condescending, abusive and refused to stop the unlawful billing. Absolutely the worst company I have ever encountered.

      HIBU is not worth the money. They promise you great results but can't deliver. I signed up for a six-month contract. After the first 2 months I was getting no calls, the Sales Rep got on the phone with the IT guy at HIBU and they tweaked the program so I would get more calls. It did not work. They would not let me out of the 6-month contract so I paid for a service that did not deliver. For September 2022 I got 2,245 impressions, 94 clicks and 8 calls. Of the 8 calls, 2 were wrong numbers, another 2 were solicitors. The other 4 calls were from 2 potential clients that called twice. Both potential clients were out of state which is of no use to me. So, for $2,654 a month I got nothing. It was the same results for the prior months.

      I had a website that I could not manage myself so I got a call from Tallen that he could market my company to big time success. Wow he was going to do a new website seo himself this guy was superman. I guess I felt desperate and got suckered. So I sent Tallen 152 pictures of my work for the new website and just some of them were used. so the website launched and after a month I could not find it on line. Tallen said give it another month. So after another month he said give it another month. Well I still can't find my site. I quit paying them after I saw these reviews I know if I did work like this I surely would not get paid. I also found out that they have a tier 1 and tier 2 optimization team that does this. It was never mentioned to me. So they said after two months pay us and we will do some optimization when I thought I was getting this all along. The sales people lie and when I mention the reviews they said we deal with 500k customers you will get a few bad reviews. Well I said give me 3 references and I will pay you. That never happened.

      Do not waste your money with these thief's. 2nd year in business and thought I was making the smart decision to build my business. This company swore I'd get results and I actually believed them in the beginning.
      Once I signed and then had concerns about getting nothing for my investment then I was hit with "you're not spending enough to get the results you want"
      I wish I'd read the horrible experiences from the previous HIBU victims.
      DO NOT USE HIBU FOR ANYTHING.
      ALL LIES!
      I see they reply with a let us make it right to each negative review. Funny
      You have my information Hibu, if you truly want to make it right then prove it and stop giving businesses more empty promises!
