What is Hibu and how does it work?

Hibu is a digital marketing services provider that combines a comprehensive range of products and strategies into one interconnected marketing solution to help generate increased calls, clicks and leads. Some of the services Hibu offers include:

Online presence solutions
Hibu’s online presence solutions promise to give you everything you need for a perfect first impression. The company takes care of your complete online presence, including your website, and online listings, Google "My Business" page and Facebook page – all the most important places a customer could find you.
Hibu Smart Sites
Hibu Smart Sites are the heart of Hibu’s integrated digital marketing solutions. Its Smart Sites have advanced technology that over 80% of websites don’t have, helping them perform better than other websites — simply put, they communicate more information to Google to increase your search ranking and visibility.
Search, social and display advertising
With an advertising campaign from Hibu, you target your customers with a diversified ad campaign using social, display and search ads to reach customers wherever they are online. By advertising with an integrated digital marketing solution, you drive awareness, engagement and conversion across your complete online presence.

Hibu is a popular digital marketing option for both professional services and blue collar-services. The company creates custom Smart Sites that are the central hub of an interconnected, results-oriented digital marketing campaign.

Hibu is a full-service provider, as opposed to a DIY option. You work with a designated digital marketing specialist to provide background about your business and determine your primary business goals. That information is then used to create a digital marketing solution to achieve your goal, whether its increased visibility, improved customer engagement, and/or generating more qualified leads.

The overall development process includes a no-obligation consultation, a review stage for your website and/or ad design and final sign-off. Pricing is monthly, determined by the products and services you select for your specific solution. You can request changes to your website and ads at any time. If you’d prefer to do the work on your own, the client dashboard provides 24/7 results tracking as well as DIY options for simple changes.

Hibu pricing

Hibu doesn’t list pricing information on its website because the company does not offer cookie-cutter packages. Since every digital marketing solution is tailored to your specific business, the price is determined by your specific campaign. To get an idea about what a digital solution would look like for your business, schedule a brief, no-obligation phone call to discuss your budget and business goals.

Hibu generally provides services based on a monthly payment schedule. Depending on the solution you choose, there may be an upfront cost that covers initial development and building your website. Generally, your website is part of a multichannel solution and not a stand-alone offer. The cost varies based on factors such as:

  • The complexity of your solution
  • If your solution includes reputation management
  • If your solution includes an interconnected ad campaign (search ads, social ads and/or display ads)

    Hibu made it easy to write a review for an SPECTACULAR COMPANY. I asked the company owner how I could write them a review as I was so impressed with the following: 1.) The cost effective estimate. 2,) When I spoke with the owner about a concern with my current fascia board status - they listened (unique as I am a "vintage" female. 3.) I could not have been more impressed with the quality of their work. 4.) The "Extra Mile" visit to help and there was no extra cost. 5.) The pleasant and polite install technicians. This was not just a "Fix it", it was a wonderful experience!! (FYI: I did 4 bids before choosing a company - this was not the lowest bid, nor the highest - Just THE BEST!)

      Our sales rep, Jack has been a phenomenal communicator. Truthfully, his persistently supportive presence following up with us is what led us to change from a system we thought was already working to something we found far superior for a similar price. We've stayed with Hibu because our results after 4 months have passed our 6 month milestones and we haven't had to put more than 10-15 consecutive minutes into using the software or performing the work ourselves; Hibu does great work! We've tracked much higher than anticipated organic growth as well. They've over-delivered on multiple expectations building out & maintaining our website, managing ad campaigns, posting creative & managing SEO, etc., and our results speak for itself.

      We have had great results with Hibu for our business. Specifically our rep Jamie! She is always available and consistently goes above and beyond. You can have a great company, but the people you interact with make all the difference. Jamie is always there to bounce marketing ideas off of. She always has great solutions for campaigns or updates. She is so knowledgeable and helpful. Managing a website, ads, reviews, etc is a big undertaking and it’s very easy to be discouraged or confused.

      Jamie has been awesome every step of the way. She is a true professional in her field. We love how Hibu has given us the tools to manage our website beautifully. We love the review tool too. It is a great way to get honest reviews from our customers. It can be challenging to manage all the marketing ins and outs that are required if you want to succeed. Hibu and their team make it simple for us to duplicate our efforts. We trust the professionals at Hibu and you should too!

      I am thrilled with my decision to work with Graham and Hibu! Graham helped every step of the way through the transition and the results were almost immediate. I am blown away by how many Google reviews Tucson Sports Recovery has gotten since starting with Hibu; before Hibu I had to pull my clients' teeth to get them to leave a review! We are so happy with their services that we even upgraded our package to include the website. Enlisting Hibu's help is a no-brainer - take my word for it. Thank you Graham and Hibu!

      We have already had great results with Hibu taking over our advertising needs! We get a bunch of new leads almost daily and we have been able to convert those leads quickly! Working with our Representative Gavin has been great, he put some fun back into advertising for me because it's always one of those love/hate things I have to do for business. He stays on top of what we need and answers any questions I have, no matter how big or small they might be. Our new website looks great as well and it's really user friendly. Working with Hibu has been an awesome experience!

      This is typical overpriced corporate trash. Nigh impossible to reach someone that has any inkling as to what's going on. They are also "account hijackers" as I refer to them. Direct withdrawal from your account. What? You can't trust me to pay my bill? I know you will reply with some bovine feces such as "dumpany policy" or some other corporate terminology that disrespects the intelligence of all involved but you guys are trash. Real, real, real trash.

      I was optimistic at first but my agent kept pushing, "You should spend more..." Well, I did and shortly thereafter realized I had erred greatly. My customers went from the short term/fast pay projects to long term/SLOW pay projects. My cash flow is now pitiful. After lots of research and shopping around I realize now that I have been suckered. Thankfully, I found a company that is actually affordable, no contract, and I know works because they represent my distributor that has grown exponentially in just a few short years. I cancelled Hibu on the first day I could. (One of the most satisfying calls I have ever placed.) Today, some corporate zombie from an Iowa number calls me up, "What can I do to get your business back?" Let's just say he will NEVER forget talking to me.

      HIBU says they will increase your traffic flow (get leads that turn into appointments and eventually sales). I have been with them for 4 months at $1600/month for a website creation that I had to find them pictures that were suitable. They couldn't figure out how to put an attractive picture of a door or a window on my new website. (Amateur Hour). In these last 4 months ($6400 spent) I have had 3 leads. THREE!! I could have done better walking door to door. When I tell them I'm not happy they stopped returning my calls and emails. I really wish I had read some of the other reviews before I signed with them. DO NOT use HIBU. They are a total rip-off.

      Thank you for the opportunity to speak with our client regarding their concerns. Our client’s concern was that Hibu did not deliver what was promised, however, when we partnered with the client, they were provided with a Statement of Work that stated they would receive 50-100 website clicks per month. Over the last 90 days, our client has received 1871 website visits, which exceeded expectations outlined in the statement of work they agreed upon.
