eLocal Listing just another “SEO” Myth
Did you know that elocal has been in business for over 4 years? Did you know that they still have ZERO proprietary information, programs, code and graphics? But how so, how can a self proclaimed leader in internet marketing still not have any real secret sauce? Well it’s quite simple, you see when you pay someone else to say something most people believe it. Many of you have seen other sites that promote elocallisting as one of the top 10 seo companies in the nation. This of course is completely false as 99% of the time they have paid to get put on that list. For example topseos.com who have already been under heat from consumers and professionals for posting fixed charts based on the highest “donation” from any company. These practices are downright evil and misleading which is why sites like ours are changing the face of business. It now has become extremely difficult for any rip-off companies like elocallisting.com to operate under false promises, as consumer experiences can now be documented and explored over the net. You see elocal tells its employees that it’s the best and “innovative” and yet the employees cannot for themselves look into this; if they do they become terminated. It is this same malignant and sinister management that has continued to oppress the workers blocking various sites like yelp.com, ripoffreport.com and elocalscams.com threatening them with their jobs. If that isn’t bad enough they fill them with false hopes telling them that someone is going to buy elocallisting and they are all going to win, YEAH RIGHT! This has already happened and the employees where lied to into believing the company had “merged” to avoid any profit sharing. Now with any company track record as this would you as a consumer be comfortable handing over your credit information?
We have spoken to many ex-employees regarding elocal and they have ALL said the same thing; elocal is a Ponzi scheme, a total scam, a rip-off but if this is so how can any company like this operate?
Well then we dive into their business model which goes a little something like this…
Elocallisting operates under a type of false service know as SEO (Search Engine Optimization) false because they cannot provide this service they could not afford to. You see real SEO is a skill that very few professionals have and because there are so few it is very expensive. In reality elocallisting stretches the term SEO by implying that a profile with keywords and phrases connected to other sites via links are SEO. If this is so then everyone would naturally be on the first page. The way that elocal attracts customers is not by recommendation but by aggressive cold calling, after all who would recommend a service that doesn’t work? You see elocallisting exploits small business owners filling them with false hopes telling them that can get them more customers through their service. All their testimonials are fabricated to show only what they want people to hear and see. Why would a company spend so much time trying to hide the truth, threatening old employees and currently employees? Why does elocallisting insist that their service works? We have all seen the numerous accounts of others on remote sites speaking out their horrid experiences with the company.
elocal operates and continues to operate because they continue to scam people across the US, and when they have worn out their brand they simply create a new one to white label over the service so that the consumer who may have already been scammed by elocallisting can be duped into the services again. You see elocal is able to stay afloat by hoarding in new victims and charging them upfront knowing that in a month or two; once the consumer has figured out that this is a sham they simply tell them to cancel if they are not happy with the service. To make this simple if you have enough new victims giving you “setup” fees and have less customers canceling their service then you can do business, this is how they do business. If this company is so great why don’t they put how many cancelations they have a month? How about annually? The truth is that they can’t afford to have everyone know the truth or else no one would buy into their illusive dream of more calls and more business.
We can only do our part in trying to inform the public of this sinister company, but we can only do so much. It is important that you as a business owner document your experience with elocallisting and leave it for others to see so that the number of victims decline and elocal disappears. Predatory companies are a malignant poison in our economy and it is time that we provide the cure.
