We have unfortunately had a recent experience with one of our clients. They called him on the phone and promised him a series of lies without rhyme or reason at the first exchange, for a very low price, they were going to work their Google Adwords campaigns for 3 months, 8 hours a day. That adds up to 480 hours. Anyone who knows about Adwords knows that you do not have to spend 8 hours a day contemplating Google Adwords campaigns , but that, once well created, which takes time, you must monitor and adjust them, but not 8 hours a day If you made so many changes, because you were not going to check the effectiveness of any of them if you don’t even give time to be able to check if it works or not.

They promised you that they had a space reserved in the right column and that you had to pay the next day or you would lose the space, which does not make any sense and is a big lie, as any Adwords professional knows too .

And all these lies for the modest price of 400 euros, with the keywords included. That is, for 400 euros they work 480 hours, clearly impossible, not only do they not earn money, they put it! The company in question is called Globalinsat. Avoid it if they call you for anything, because if they take advantage of people who are not professionals in Google Adwords , they can try to take advantage of it in any other area.

My partner and I investigated on the subject, because it smelled terrible and they had clearly lied to him, and we saw a series of opinions on the Internet that made it clear to us that it was a fraud:

Despite being already convinced and calling our client, for whom we had developed the website , we continued investigating and saw several more clues:

They claim to be experts in web design and development as well , but their website is a rather bland WordPress template that they haven’t modified.

They themselves are not well positioned, nor do they have their own Adwords campaigns.

They hardly have followers on social networks , on Facebook they have 38 and they are supposed to have been with this business for several years. And they have blocked user comments. And these people say they do Social Media … And they have three different profiles on Google + , empty, without any content and no followers. I insist, they say to do Social Media and positioning . No other social network, and the two that they have. They are not even linked to your website.

Our client, who is not stupid and who knows how we are, after showing him this information, backed down the “contract” contract that he did not have, but that he had to pay right now and they would send it to him. As in the comments of other users, they sent you a proforma invoice that is basically a budget and does not imply any real commitment.

Always trust professionals in SEO positioning , positioning with Adwords , web development , online marketing , content creation , social media , and in general, experienced professionals, registered as a company or as freelancers, who They send you a contract if you require it, that they study your project in a personalized way, etc., and not in anyone who calls you offering you the gold and the moor.

We were so sure of the scam, that we proposed to our client to match the offer, without promising rented spaces or working 8 hours a day for three months, if not doing things as they have to be done, so it has helped us to to know how some competitor companies are doing (it is not the only one) and to him to have an offer in his Google Adwords campaigns .

Already involved in the matter, we have looked for more information about fraud in Google Adwords campaigns, and well, the mechanics are more or less the same, a salesperson calls you, does not do any prior study or anything and promises you the first positions, yes not the first on the first day of the campaign, first places 24 hours a day, be careful! At ridiculous prices, many times even better than those of our client, for 200 euros for a whole year and things like that. The point is that you pay soon, because they will not pick up the phone again. People who have a website so you can see what they do, but who also don’t work on it at all, which already says a lot about their professionalism.

Well-known directory companies, the typical ones that we always had at home to check phones, sell web pages and positioning and do neither one thing nor the other. They sell you that they create a website for you and what they do is, within their website, put you on their list of companies, that’s it. And beware, we have heard of cases in which they call saying that they are from Google directly. When you ask them to pass you information by email, they refuse, get offended and tell you that you hire them by phone or nothing. What a fabric.

Google will never call you to do an Adwords campaign and appear in the first position, they do not need to do so, and the controls that Google carries, even when creating your professional page on Google +, Google Maps , Google Bussines, is the most exhaustive. And nobody gives hard to four pesetas, it seems that we believe it all, like the new scam of the 3.0 stamp …
