Natalie and Shelby are amazing. Zero complaints with my team

We were honoured to see our story impeccably featured in the May 2026 of The Neighbours of Chapel Hill. A huge thank you to the editorial team for such an exceptional presentation of our work. Those involved with the magazine were exemplary. Cassandra was so welcoming and showed patience during the writing phase of the article. We had never done anything like that before. And, the photographer, Frank Fenn, was so accommodating and his work truly professional. It will be a memory to remember during our life time.

Alex is very knowledgable and helpful!

In my experience, my understanding of the agreement differed significantly from what was contained in the written contract. What I believed I was agreeing to was not consistent with the obligations that were later enforced. Before signing, consider having the contract reviewed by a lawyer or other qualified professional. Once the agreement is signed, you may be bound by terms that are difficult or costly to exit. Taking the time to fully understand the contract beforehand could save you significant frustration and expense later. This is based on my personal experience, and I encourage others to conduct their own due diligence before entering into any long-term contractual commitment.

The entire team did great and it was a great experience

Consider this a warning to any small business owner considering Best Version Media. Before signing, make sure you read every word of the contract and fully understand what you are agreeing to. Get every promise, representation, and expectation in writing. Do not rely on verbal statements made during the sales process. My experience has been that once the contract is signed, you are locked in. If the service does not meet your expectations or differs from what you believed you were purchasing, you may find that you cannot cancel, modify, or otherwise exit the agreement. The company still expects full payment regardless of your level of satisfaction. I wish I had done more research before signing. If I had paid closer attention to the experiences of other customers, I likely would have made a different decision. Proceed with extreme caution.

My experience with Best Version Media was extremely disappointing. When I was approached by the local San Ramon publisher, the opportunity was presented as a comprehensive marketing partnership that would help grow my business through community exposure and various marketing initiatives. Looking back, the scope of what BVM actually provided was far more limited than what was conveyed during the sales process. I specifically expressed concerns about entering a long-term agreement. During those conversations, I was assured that if I sold my business, I would be able to exit the contract. When that situation eventually occurred, BVM did not honor what had been represented to me. Instead, I had to produce documentation and repeatedly defend my position while receiving persistent collection and contract enforcement communications. The results were also disappointing. Despite paying significant fees, I found myself writing my own feature article and creating much of my own advertising content. The creative support provided was minimal, and I often felt like I was doing the work that I thought I was paying BVM to handle. If I’m writing the articles and creating the ads myself, it’s fair to ask what value the company is actually providing beyond selling ad space in a local publication. Overall, I felt the sales process oversold the benefits and understated the limitations of the program. The contract terms heavily favor BVM, and once you’re signed, there appears to be little flexibility regardless of the circumstances. Business owners considering BVM should carefully scrutinize every representation made during the sales process and rely only on what is explicitly stated in writing.

Editors and team were easy to work with.
