Thrive Internet Marketing Agency

It's super hard to even rehash how bad my experience was with this company. Literally when I start thinking about it my heart aches. And I know that that sounds dramatic. But that's how I feel.
$24,000 down the drain over the course of six months. $5,400 a month. And meeting after meeting with my account manager when she was promising me that she would do something, and that the search engine Optimizer was doing something, but yet my business was tanking continually.
I'm not the one to throw companies under the bus. In fact I went 4 months longer than I thought that I would have trying to get these guys the benefit of the doubt. But in the back of my mind, my gut was telling me that I made the wrong decision.
Finally after she sent me a link list saying that these were the link that they had earned for me, but she forgot to take out the column that Illustrated that the first time that the internet had seen those links was prior to my engagement with them, my doubts were confirmed. Like in other words they were claiming that they had earned a lynx, and she would send me that spreadsheet, but she forgot to take out the part that showed that the links had been in existence before I engaged the company.
that's the type of shenanigans that I had to deal with.
It was like a monthly sinking feeling in my gut every time I had a meeting with that account manager in that search engine Optimizer. Like I just felt completely misled. But wasn't misled was the $5,400 that went out of my account every month, the lack of call volume increase. Because it never increased, that all happened.
And now I'm sitting here wishing I never would have hired them. Now I'm sitting here with that feeling kind of like I got something stolen from me I can't do anything about it. Am I saying that they actually stole something from me? No I'm saying how I feel. I feel that way. I have this gross unending knot in my stomach that won't go away when I think about Thrive internet marketing agency.
I even emailed Matt The company's president about the situation. And had a long discussion with his subordinate. I was asking for some amount of my money back.
Did they offer any? Nope. Not a penny. The only thing they did was give me one month discount I think it was. On one of those months. I'm just telling you, I absolutely wish I would have never hired this company. Literally I feel so completely ripped off. It's just a horrible feeling. Anyway I would have written all of this if I didn't care about you. Don't hire these guys. There's a lot of other guys out there.
