Service Magic? - Plumbing Zone

ROCKSTARPLUMBER · 12-18-2008, 05:48 PM

Alright, i finally decided to try this company out. After about 300 hundred phone calls and god knows how many emails, they finally caught me in a giving mood.

Curious if any one on here uses their services. i checked the site while i was on the phone with them. apparently i will be the only plumbing contractor in my area.

have to pay for the leads they give you if you do the work or not. Seems kinda fishy, but you can opt out at anytime.
Anybody familuar with deez guyz or what?

Run, don't walk away from these ass clowns. I was with them, they send you bogus leads and charge your credit card. You dispute them and they give you another lead, not a refund. I called to quit and they wouldn't let me. I had to get pissy to get them to let me quit.

I tried them, and I ran away very quickly. Not my niche.

dude, you can just target with adwords right to your zip code for as little as 5 cents

Don't worry, My next project is almost done, I can get you all tons of leads for free

I use service magic. At the begining i was getting crappy calls but after couple of monhts I started to get really good leads/jobs.

I turn it off for weeks if I'm busy with my own marketing/jobs/referrals/customers.

I used PPC-ADWORDS and spend $100 and didn't get a single call of it.

I am in organic searches alot for the keywords I have and want , and get around 5 calls a week from my site. And it cost me nothing. Wife has been working on the site for over a year.

Organic is better than ppc in a long run

I/m sure there is a trick for everything. I'm also sure google knows those tricks too

I just don't need to pay if I'm in organic for FREE.

What works for some won't work for others

I used service magic and it was complete garbage. No good leads. Only customers who are not serious about having work done or want it done at handy man prices.

They tried to tell me that I couldn't get water service leads because I wasn't an underground utility contractor. I Emailed them the Florida statute in chapter 489 that says I can as well as more than 20 permits with my name on them. They said "I'm sorry, we can't send you leads you are not licensed for."

Every time I got them on the phone it was back to square one. When they said they would get back to me, they never did. Absolutely the most incompetent people I have ever dealt with. I agree with the others. Run, don't walk.

They still call me up trying to get me to come back. I blocked there number a while ago. I we see there name on ID we just pickup and hangup.

We used them and at first it was fantastic. Then it went horrible. It would be impossible for me to appropriately describe what a junk organization they are.

My advice is the same as the others... Run!!!!
