This company is full of scam marketers. The company will take a long time to create your website. Once it is created, you will always have some sort of problem with them. Once things become slightly consistent, they will take your website down and claim that you are being hacked. What they are trying to do is force you to purchase additional protections by having them webmaster. They will fraudulently represent themselves as supervisors and managers in order to get your perspective. Then, they will blatantly lie all in the hopes of forcing you to use them as a webmaster so they keep you from moving on. Mind you, you have already paid for their poorly created website. STAY AWAY from them. They are crooks, liars and thieves. They are bad for your business. They are not reliable business people. They are CROOKS!

I wrote a bad review about the fraudulent practices of the company and the very very very bad service, that comes with it, so the supposedly the Gerneral manager call me after 4 to 5 days later saying that we could get my account fixed with 24 hours, I said why did it take you all this long to get back to me, after being cursed out, and hung up over and over again, I informed him that we found out the virus, was on their end, their host, and that should have gotten this fix in the first place, he agreed, then I informed him that I had already talk to Go Daddy and that they were going to fix the problem, and that will work with them, and I already paid them. then he offered me this in writing saying!! “ Hello Peter, It was a pleasure speaking to you today, With reference to our agreement we have decided to get your website live in the next 24 hours on the basis of your removing the negative reviews about Search Berg on Google and Trust Pilot platforms . The 24 hour deadline starts when the review has been successfully removed and is confirmed by my team. Please do respond to this email with a confirmation if you do agree to the following terms and we may proceed accordingly Thanking you Daniel Levi - Sr Account Manager Search Berg” I told him that I would thank about it and call I’m back, after talking to my Lawyer, we thought it would be best to move away from them, and let go Daddy keep my website I paid for. Daniel got very upset saying I don’t want you to be apart of SearchBerg system anymore, and even refused to give the website that I owned, and that already taken my website off of the server, so no one could retire it, but it there host that had the infection, these people are disgusting, then hung on, I was on the phone with Go Daddy and Mr Danial from Searchburg doing a three way with all three people on the phone, he refused to give Go Daddy and me my property and said that he already removed me from the server so Go Daddy will not be able to transfer my web! Shame shame on this company.I’m notified the FTC AND THE BBS THIS COMPANY SHOULD BE CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED, and closed down!

On January 30, 2023, a year after using Searchberg for SEO services for my published books, I received a Claim Number for Copyright Infringement from a legitimate copyright law firm in California. They requested I provide them with the license for using one of their client’s copyrighted photographs of the Denver skyline that was used in a campaign by Searchberg on my website. I immediately contacted my PM at Searchberg regarding their licensing of this photo and was told that their legal department would be contacted and would get back to me and that I “would not be hung out to dry”. To date they HAVE NOT responded to any of my requests for assistance. After consulting an attorney and doing our “due diligence” of both the photographer, the photo of the Denver skyline Searchberg used, and the US Copyright Licensing Office, we found that it was indeed a misuse of the photo. We were advised by our counsel to not ignore this claim. We negotiated with the copyright law firm and settled the claim. All documentation has been provided to Searchberg with no response to date from them, even though they were responsible for the use of this copyrighted photo. This is written in the hopes that it may “save” other unsuspecting clients of this financial and personal pain.

Stay away! I work with this company for four months and I was confident because they guarantee that my website will be well build and I will start have clients if I will not be happy I can have my money back. After my project was done I didn’t have no clients and I found out that my website is not functional! My website was working fine before I just needed some updates and a good marketing wherever they did when I find a client on my own she couldn’t make a payment or schedule an appointment, so frustrating I go back to them and they told me that is my fault I should check when it was done in the first month and now I have to pay again, When I mention that I wanna use their policy and have my money back they told me that is my fault about website, they show me that was 2-3 clicks on my page and that means they give me clients, visitors and clients are different things !!!! and maybe that was me because I was checking my website all the time you can’t claim that you give me clients because no one contact me, on top of everything they add that maybe the first company who initial build my website was going through my stuff but who responsibility is to secure my website and my personal information I should’ve been informed immediately if was any suspicious activity. Well, I spend thousands of dollars and time so at the end I had to close my website. they don’t take no responsibility for there job and there’s no way to have your money back because they gonna use everything against you , Before you signed the contract they promise you so many things over the phone but not in writing be email so in case that you complain you literally don’t have no proves!!!!! This is how they did to me I know I have the right to ask for my refund but they told me show me that agreement and when I told them that it was verbal over the phone they text ,,you have no case ‘’ * And by the way this is my second review because my first one disappear and I’m wondering why they have only good reviews somehow bad reviews disappearing.

Stay well clear. Salesman jermey promised the earth after doing a website audit and sold me a seo package that he said would get results. Project manager adam said i should be on a more expensive package and non of my agreed keywords were ever worked on! 5 thousand pounds later and they stopped answering my calls. How is this even legal!! Please please please stay well away

STAY FAR AWAY! I used Searchberg for a few projects and let me explain the situation with one and why you should NOT work with the company. 

#1 Your project manager will always be in a meeting when you call, since the time I signed up with them, I have had 3 different project managers and the issue is the same, they will never be readily available when you call, then the receptionist will tell you that they will get a message over to them and they will call back but NO, they won’t call back they will send an email. They keep switching project managers, this says a lot already. 

#2 I purchased a website, with 1 year of maintenance, they should make it clear before you sign up that maintenance is NOT website edits, it's simply making sure your website is up and running (which doesn’t take much time or effort), and any further changes you may need, ex: need product, title change, price change, etc, will come at an extra cost. OK, fine, let's say I was aware of this and was okay with it, when it comes time for me personally to enter the WP backend to make my own changes, I can not access the entire backend because they used a paid theme and kept the credentials for themselves. So pretty much, to enter the backend of the installed theme that they purchased to create the site, I need the credentials for it, I asked them for it considering the website is MINE and I paid for FULL OWNERSHIP of it, they are requesting I pay to get the credentials for the theme backend. SO now, I am stuck in this circle where they tell me I need to pay for further edits or do the edits myself, then I try to do the edits myself, and OH! I can’t because I don’t have access to it. What a pickle. #3 Their communication is extremely poor and email responses take several days. #4 They do not provide any additional value. They won’t provide recommendations on how to make your website better, nothing. As a matter of fact, they literally do what you tell them and if you are not a website expert they will create a poorly designed site based on your requests when in fact, a trustworthy agency would give pointers as well as provide feedback on why certain things should NOT be done on your site. #5 They promise mobile-friendly sites and DO NOT produce it. I have requested over several weeks to have my website edited based on what I paid for, MOBILE FRIENDLY, and they ignore my requests. Do not do business with them.

10 THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT SEARCHBERG 1.) IT'S A NUMBERS GAME FOR THEM. It appears that there's really no strategy behind their SEO. It's a hit and miss. But a good strategy they have is taking your money. They promise you a money back guarantee but then they will string you along for 6-8 months because "SEO takes time". Next thing you know, they will use that not to give you their refund. 2.) LACK OF HONESTY A real SEO company would mark a client's IP address and their own so as not to affect the metric of the visits. They used my own IP hits as justification for the bump. Who knows what they will do to future clients on inflating traffic from shady IP addresses. 3.) OVERALL TRAFFIC WENT DOWN My traffic for the last 8 months just kept going down with no confidence as to the next move. 4.) YOU'RE BETTER OFF POSTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA and BLOG ARTICLES ON YOUR OWN. Bad postings and unmet postings on social media. 5.) SHORT LINKS ARE IMPORTANT They didn't do short links on my site. 6.) THEY WILL LIE & NOT HONOR THEIR WORD Rick emailed me and said that they will refund all the money I paid. You can guess what happened, nothing. Thank you Rick. Thank you Valerie. 7.) INCONSISTENT FOLLOW UPS & CANNOT BE REACHED 8.) THERE WERE SALES NO SALES CONVERSIONS THROUGH THEM 9. ) YOU'RE BETTER OFF PAYING $200-$300 TO AN INDEPENDENT SEO FOR THOUSANDS OF BACKLINKS Better pay someone directly than paying SearchBerg with their mark-up. 10.) REVIEWS HERE ARE LIKELY PREDETERMINED (POSSIBLY EVEN BOUGHT) I've asked around the industry and I've heard that many, including SearchBerg, are now applying positive counter-feedbacks like maybe 5-10 for every negative review they get. If you look at Yelp, Reddit, TrustPilot, Google Reviews and Better Business Bureau, there's plenty of bad reviews for SearchBerg yet all of a sudden, several positive reviews would show up (such as in Google). If you're thinking that service was rendered for me, I actually I must now redo everything. If you want to see photos, please see head over to SearchBerg's Yelp review (New York)
