Useless and ineffective backlinks - Don't waste your time and money
I will begin by saying that all of the staff that I interacted with are friendly and professional. And they will typically reply to your inquiry within 24 hours. This earned them 1 star. The second star is from the technical SEO report and the keyword strategy. These services are pretty much completed within the first month. The third strategy that is used is off-page SEO (backlinks), where they are supposed to provide 20 high quality backlinks per month. And this is where they fail miserably. I started using AM Marketing in November 2024 and out of the 20 backlinks that I should've received, I only received 11. The reason is because the other 9 webpages containing the backlinks were never indexed by Google. You can have thousands of links pointing to your site but if none of them are indexed by search engines, your pages will never receive any "link juice" or get higher placements in the search engines. I addressed my concern with AM Marketing after the first month and was informed that it takes time for the pages containing backlinks to get indexed; which I can understand, although pages from my websites are typically indexed within 24 hours of submitting them to google. But here we are over 3 months later, and the 9 pages that were not indexed still have not been indexed (although they were submitted to google for indexing). Trustpilot does not allow links in reviews so I'm not able to list the non-indexed pages as I would like. However to fully validate our claim in this review, I will provide the links & correspondence to trustpilot so they can verify the information that is presented in this review. To continue, it's also worth mentioning that the backlinks are placed on webpages that have nothing to do with my website's market or niche. Plus, the websites used for backlinks have little traffic and low domain ratings per Semrush. AM Marketing likes to reference the MOZ DA ranking because it's higher, but MOZ is not as accurate as Semrush or Ahrefs. So the backlinks I received are not as high quality as described, and the results that I've seen from a 3-month campaign are minuscule. MORE IMPORTANT INFO: For the month of December, 14 out of 20 pages were indexed (which was much better than November). But for the month of January, 0 (that's right ZERO) of the 20 pages were indexed; so I essentially paid for nothing. This is when I decided to drop them. Understand that after the first month, the only thing you're paying for is backlinks and their backlinking strategy is a complete fail. AM Marketing is now posting ads on youtube again, which is a campaign that they seem to run every 3 months or so. They'll try to keep you as a client for 3-4 months and repeat the same process each quarter, but don't fall for it. You'll end up wasting time and money for a service that will produce no traffic or SEO benefits. Imagine paying for 60 backlinks and only receiving 25. This is all that I've received. And when I requested additional backlinks for the pages that never got indexed, they declined. So what are we paying for? Absolutely nothing. When I started with AM Marketing in Nov 2024, I searched for real user reviews about their services, but found none. Hopefully, this will serve as a helpful review for those that are considering AM Marketing.

Hey Mista, Antonie here Thank you so much for taking the time to post this review. 1. Backlinks take time to get indexed. You got 20 backlinks every single month. It's impossible that you did not. 2. You used our services, according to your post for 2-3 months. That's simply not enough time to effectively judge an SEO campaign. As you probably know - SEO takes time to kick in. Feel free to Google and check that for verification. 2-3 months is not an adequate time to judge ANY SEO campaign. So your review is simply NOT appropriate since it's not based on the right time frame for results to kick in. It's like abandoning a diet because you didn't lose 10 pounds in 3 hours. SEO is like diet, you need to give it time to kick in and provide results. 3. Pages also take time to get indexed. Google is not simply waiting behind the corner for a brand new website to create a new page. With Google - any type of indexing takes time. That is the nature of SEO process. If that is NOT ok for you, SEO is simply NOT for you as well. 4. If want fast results and lack the patience for SEO - Google Ads and Meta ads are a better fit for you. 5. From the very first moment that we start our SEO campaign - we make sure to explain that SEO takes time, in your case - that time frame was around 4-6 months, and you were client for 2-3 months. So it's obvious that you will lack the results, since you did not give us enough time to deliver the results for you. 6. We have 300+ SEO clients, and only 2 negative reviews from clients that simply did not give us enough time to deliver SEO results for them.
