Hi Mary, If your account got compromised please contact your account manager so they can provide you with a link to contact Instagram's support to solve this issue. Sometimes Instagrams AI compromises accounts temporarily and when contacting them you just need to verify your identity and ownership of the account and you'll be all set. You must make sure the following 5 points below are in check for your Instagram account to have our service operate smoothly. My account is at least 30 days old I have access to the email address and phone number associated with the account I don't use third-party tools for this account My account is linked to my Facebook account Make sure that the content of your account does not violate the rules of work in Instagram Second, please understand that our service is not always 100% operational. We use an independent Instagram API so when Instagram makes major updates or has glitches/bugs on their own application it sometimes affects our service for a couple of hours sometimes even a couple of days depending on how long it takes to fix. If you used previous automation tools, bought fake likes, followers or have a "bad trust score" with Instagram, this can cause account connection issues with third parties. If you are unable to connect your account, you will be refunded in full. Your accounts trust score. Based on how active you are on a daily basis and your past use of fake likes,followers & growth hacking services Instagram puts a "trust score" on your account. Verified accounts, never have problems with automation services because Instagram placed a high trust score. An account that has been inactive for months then is very active all the sudden can raise red flags. At the end of the day, we never had any problems with our client's accounts, as long as you follow our guidelines you're all set. We just wanted to be transparent and set expectations in case a problem arises. Terms of service www.stellationmedia.com/terms-of-service

Hi Dohn Joe, First, we do not have any paying customers in our system under this name so I am unsure if this is a competitor or not. I will report this review due to the name that is used as an alias. Regarding your complaint though so other potential clients can know why the results were so low. So how do you get better results or why were your results so low? Well, once you choose the best targeting the ball is now in your court! I am unsure of the targeting you chose or your conversations with your account manager due to the name you listed the review under. If the targeting you chose had fake followers, bad engagement, etc this will not produce quality traffic to your Instagram page. At the end of the day, our job is being done once we engage with stories, I know that's not what you want to hear but it's the honest truth. Engaging with stories leads to a profile visit, a profile visit can lead to a potential follower, like, comment, website visit, etc. Look at it like this, if you ran a Facebook or Instagram ad and did not get good results, are you going to blame Facebook, no, you are going to blame your ad, product, service, website, marketing team, etc. This is the way our service works, I'll break it down as simple as possible & give you some tips on how to improve your results. 1) We engage with stories by engaging with accounts who posted story stickers. 2) People out of curiosity will click your username to check out your profile, this is a profile visit. 3) We will send A LOT of profile visits to you on a day to day basis 4) These profile visits then convert into a new follower, comments, direct message, picture likes, website clicks etc. -- Suggestions to increase your "FBR" (follow back rate / new follower) 1) Have an AMAZING profile picture that makes people want to click your profile. a) Logo: make sure it's colorful, different, catchy b) Picture: make sure it's a close-up, cool, edgy & unique c) Be different & unique. Your profile picture is the first step to converting someone to a new fan! 2) Interesting bio w/emoji's (google for more information) 3) Story highlights w/professional cover photos (google for more information) 4) Amazing content. a) Professional photos, videos & quotes b) Overall color theme c) Provide value d) How are you going to separate yourself from the millions of other pages in your niche? I hope this helps you out for any future growth you have! -Stellation Media Team

Hi Sam, Our service has been working just fine and has been providing amazing results for our clients for the last couple of months. If it has not worked for the last 3 months, we would not be selling our service. Last Thursday 1/23 Instagram released a huge API update and our development team has been working hard behind the scenes to implement a new safe algorithm for our clients. Instagram has crashed 4 times since the release of the API update and when this happens, it causes API throttle requests on our service. We have stable algorithms working, however, when the Instagram application has bugs and crashes, it causes problems with our service. Once Instagram is stable, our service is back up and running. I understand as a client you want a service that is 100% smooth, 24/7/365 however when these updates occur, there will always be some downtime while our development team updates the algorithm, it's so much more complex then one might think if you are not familiar with it. For our clients that have been with us for the last couple of months, we had a similar situation in October and it was fixed in 5-7 days. Then everything was back to normal. Unforatully, there is nothing we can do about these API updates and Instagram crashes. We don't own Instagram or have any affiliation with them. Our customer service team works around the clock and answers all emails in a timely manner. I have spoken to you on a different platform and requested that you reach out to your account manager so they can process a refund for your last month's payment. Any other questions, please reach out to your account manager. Have a great day!

Hi Khloe, I've searched through all of our email threads to further investigate the request above and have not seen any email threads associated with the name Khloe, this review can be from a competitor. --- If you have any issues with your account please reach out to your dedicated account manager and they will handle any concerns you have regarding refunds. If our service is not working for your account or if you are unable to connect it to our service a refund will be provided. Opening a dispute is a very tedious process on both parties ends and does not guarantee you will receive your money back. We always recommend speaking with your account manager and they will take care of your issues. Once a dispute is open our billing team has to speak with your bank and provide your activity logs, customer information, license key activation, etc It's always in our client's best interest to reach out to their account manager :) Please read the FAQ & terms of service on our website for further information about our refund policy. --- Reviews We have started to implement a bi-weekly email campaign contacting our clients who have worked or are currently working with us asking to share their experience with Stellation Media on our trust pilot account. This is a very common practice amongst businesses and brands online. Have a great day!

Hi Tenay, At this moment our clients are maxing out around 600-1000 actions, we lowered the settings while our development team updates our code to correspond with Instagram's new API update they released late last week. We have running versions working on our dummy accounts, but we always make sure our i's are dotted and t's are crossed as our client's accounts are our utmost concern. We will be releasing a stable update at some point today and notify our clients via the notification bell in the top right of the dashboard. - Our developers are waiting for their application to be more stable before applying any updates. I understand your frustration, however, we operate solely off their application. This is outlined in our story view terms of service and will happen from time to time, the service will never be running smooth 365/24/7 when things like this happen, it affects EVERY company who is doing automation, not just ours. https://stellationmedia.com/terms-of-service/ We have some of the best developers in the world working behind the scenes, they have stable versions already working, they are just waiting for the Instagram application to fix their own bugs / glitches first before the implementation of our update. Their app has been unresponsive for users who are not using any sort of automation if you read the comment section in the down detector link you can see various users have problems. - Yes, this is a very common practice for businesses. The idea was introduced to our marketing team because one of our workers ordered an item off of Amazon and there was a review card in the package stating if you would be so kind to leave a positive review of your experience if you had one, we would compensate you with a $5 amazon card. We further looked into it and a lot of companies introduce this into their marketing methods as well to encourage reviews, sometimes in life, people need incentives :) - Any further questions, you can reach out to your dedicated account manager. Thanks
