2 yearsSome woman rang saying she was from Google about our business listing? She wanted to know if I could spare a minute to check a few keywords or something. I was just about to head out so told her I couldn’t talk. She said thanks and then ended the call.Google3 yearsGot a call the other day saying my business’s free Google listing was about to run out and asked if I wanted to renew it. I mean, come on, who’d actually fall for that? I told them I wasn’t interested and they were surprisingly polite about it.Google4 yearsSteer clear of these lot, honestly. They keep telling you they can boost your rankings on Google but it’s all rubbish! They just want your card details, claiming it’ll push your site higher in search results. Total con job. Seriously, don’t bother with them!Google6 yearsGot a call from Smart Media saying they wanted to update our Google info. I’ve heard it before and I’m pretty sure it’s a scam most times.Smart MediaGoogle7 yearsLooks like it’s just a business based in the local area.Merely7 yearsWe've gotten three calls so far, each one coming about a week after the last. My missus picked up every single time, and she's no fool, so she just ended the call right away every time.7 yearsClever media really comes in handy when trying to find stuff nearby. Definitely makes local searching a whole lot easier.7 yearsThis number has been ringing me non stop so I had to block it. Out of nowhere, a caller from Smart Media contacted me claiming my free trial for Google Adwords had ended and asked if I wanted to renew it. I never commit to things right away, so I told them to send me details by email and ring me later. But I never got any email with info at all. I’m quite sure I never signed up for any free trial, maybe it was started without my permission to push businesses into paying - which just feels really dodgy to me!Smart MediaGoogle AdWords7 yearsI got some help with my website SEO and found the service really nice and useful. Everyone was super friendly too.7 yearsI was randomly Googling some keywords related to smart media and stumbled across this site. Honestly, it helped me figure out a few things I was confused about. If you’re trying to learn more or just checking up on some info, this place is worth a look. Not super fancy but does the job well enough!7 yearsSounds to me like Smart Media Solutions might be trying to pull a scam or something, at least that's what I've heard!Media7 yearsClever media, that one!7 yearsGot a call from Olivia at Smart Media today. She mentioned I’d already told someone from her team a couple weeks back that I wasn’t interested. She was polite and ended the call nicely. Weirdly, they left me a one-star rating before, just because I didn’t want to chat with them. Hopefully she’s got more important stuff to focus on now.OliviaSmart Media7 yearsFound this one by searching around my area.7 yearsSmart media messaged us saying our free Google Maps contract from last year now needs paying to renew this year. Total scam if you ask me. Google never ring up asking for money like that. I just said no thanks, we don’t want to continue. Once before I gave a caller like this some serious grief, and bam! A one star review popped up on Google right after. Pretty sure it was her since I told her straight up she was talking rubbish. Tried to get it removed but no luck. Seems like she targets businesses who hang up on her - her reviews are all over the place.Google MapsGoogle7 yearsI think the Google ads are pretty decent, nothing wrong with them in my opinion!Google7 yearsI can’t believe it, someone from Smart Media phoned me again, but this time from a private number! The bloke wouldn’t even give his name and kept insisting that we weren’t informed about our renewal during the last call. I told him straight up we weren’t interested in dealing with their company. He just kept pushing like I’d ever trust or use their services. They’re definitely NOT Google, they’re actually based in Manchester. Total scam if you ask me!Smart MediaGoogleManchester8 yearsI’ve ignored the calls since I don’t know the number. For about two weeks now, they’ve been ringing me roughly every five days.8 yearsIt seems alright to pick up the call.8 yearsI was just trying to find someone nearby and used this service. It really helped me find the right contact in my area without any hassle. Pretty handy for local searches!8 yearsThere was this woman who spoke super quickly, seemed like she wanted me to hurry up and agree to something. She claimed I'd signed up for some kind of Google Maps thing exactly a year ago, but honestly, I don't recall that at all. I told her to send all the info to my business email, but so far, no email has come through.Google Maps8 yearsI heard something about Google Maps now charging for ads, and it honestly feels like it might be some sort of scam to me.Google MapsSubmit Your Own Report (0161 850 7945)
