After thorough review of services I was getting with Vivant, my representative Stacy ** informed me I was paying way too much for that service and would do much better with Hibu. I put my faith in her honesty and am very pleased with what Hibu is now doing for me. I think I had roughly 330 hits to my Website last month and saved about $500.00 in the process! Stacy is an exceptional, professional individual and I always enjoy her input. I recommend her if your business needs exposure in this competitive world!

I am not a Hibu customer however I inquired about their services. I was given incorrect information actually a lie. I was looking into doing Paid Google Advertising with them and was told there is NO MANAGEMENT fee for their services as they were compensated by Google. That did not sound right so I pushed and was finally told their dashboard shows 100% of my advertising budget going to Google Ad Words but their documentation says "a portion of the fees paid by you as our management fee." I was later told by a manager is amount is 20% fee of your spent but that is not in writing, so if I was misled about their percentage in the first place saying they don't charge anything how can I believe them about the 20%. Needless to say I did not go with Hibu as like every other company they were giving me incorrect information in the hopes of gaining a new customer.

Beyond thrilled that a Hibu representative Pete ** came by one of our locations one day. He came by with his Supervisor to explain the service they offered. At first we weren't sure if this is something we wanted to do. However I can assure you, it was a fantastic decision to sign up with Hibu. Not only did they redesign our website completely, they gave me tools to market our company on the next level.

Hibu provided me with customized review cards to hand out to customers (which was a great feature). Not to mention to A+ customer service provided by the team. Especially my specific rep Pete **. If you have any hesitation with signing up, personally recommend working with Pete. He made my experience one to remember, always there if needed and answers all my calls and emails. Also can't forget that our information has been edited and corrected around the entire world wide web, making it easier for customers to locate us. Thanks for all your help Pete, we appreciate your efforts, they do not go unnoticed!

I was misled by the sales agent who took my money, never informed me of the correct contract time and then they completely mess up my campaign with incorrect information and wrong landing pages. The sales rep even said my website sucked and then him and fellow employees of Hibu started leaving bad reviews on my business. I was lied to by customer service of hibu as well multiple times. Ine employee told me they would extend my pause for longer than 2 weeks and he never followed through. Hibu is a RIP off and their sales agents play fraudulent tactics promising to use portions of their commissions to help boost a customers campaign. Never designed the campaign correctly and I lost money with no sales in return. This is the worst company I have ever seen! Stay far away from hibu!

It seems Hibu is better at selling their services than servicing their sales! Please listen carefully to the salesperson's canned lines, the only time you might expect to hear from the company is when they are trying to sell you additional advertising. Do not expect the company to design a site that gains views without buying advertising. Spend money on purchasing advertising on your own.

I signed up with Hibu Global about 5 months ago and currently I am standing at 0 ROI from this company. This company has not generated a single leads/job to my company but kept charging my credit card every month. I called them several times about the dissatisfaction with their services and requested to cancel the contract. All they say is I have to do 6 months of contract. This is the worst marketing company I have every worked with and they do not care about their clients at all. The only thing they care is their 6 months of contract.

Wish I could give negative stars. When it came down to cancelling our subscription, Hibu continued to charge us! The rep kept claiming it was cancelled, but they kept charging our card. Literally had to block them from our card and dispute charges. And they had the nerve to fight the charges!! I’m almost certain they would still be charging us if I wouldn’t have blocked them from our card. After multiple email and verbal communications with their rep saying the account was cancelled and assuring me we would get a credit. And mind you, we were faithful paying customers for like 4 years. Greedy company, consumer beware!!!!

I purchased display advertising and reviews management from Hibu, and within a month, I realized that what I was promised was not at all what was delivered (I have confirmation of this in emails). They used stock photos that were not even relevant to my business - without my permission - and repeatedly fumbled everything. Things I was supposed to have approval over were never presented for my approval (I also have them admitting this in emails).

Many employees were rude, most were clueless. I finally got it all cancelled, and luckily I got that confirmation in writing in an email also. Now, 10 months later, they charged my card again! When I called to get it straightened out, the man on the phone started yelling at me (then saying "I'm not raising my voice at you" while getting progressively louder). And guess what? Once I forwarded my emails from last year to every person I could find in the company, it was, in fact, supposed to have been cancelled. I got zero customers from this, spent a lot of money for the time it was in place, and am still getting crap from them all this time later? No thanks.

I have been unsuccessful in getting Hibu to cancel our contract even though they have failed to provide what they promised.

I believe the breach of contract has occurred and they should at least refund our investment so far and cancel the project, but the people we talk to in the Philippines don't help. I have had to completely shut down my facebook to prevent further damage from their irresponsible actions. I have posted a review on their site but they apparently do not let bad ones show up.

I have been with Hibu for a couple of years now. At first, I thought it was a great idea to have my ads show up on the sides of other webpages, I have never seen my ad before, ever! I have received absolutely no calls off of this ad campaign unless they are the hundreds of scam calls I have been receiving since signing up with Hibu. My campaign restarts itself without authorization. I’ve been through this twice and wanted to cancel however my rep Larry and Stacie have Found ways to keep me with them and promised to get it right in the future.

Today I received a phone call, my caller ID said it was a friend of mine, it ended up being Hibu! How the hell did they do that, I thought that was only scam companies that did stuff like that. They claim they have no idea what I’m talking about and that if I called the phone number back it would dial to them, however it goes to my friend because it’s his number that they called me from!

Now I am fighting to get my month to month account canceled, I was told this would be easy since I should be on month-to-month at this point however the last time I put my account on hold they raise my rate and continue to charge me every month after! So, my bank is dealing with these charges and Hibu is calling to get the money back. Now they want proof from me of when I talk to them, who I talked to and what we talked about. I responded with “don’t you have a record of my account”? Apparently not! I can tell you that Stacy claimed the account was on hold and that she could not send proof because she clicked out of her system too quickly but promised it was done. I also responded to the email which asked if I really wanted to place the account on hold. I Have seen companies like this, these guys got me, I’m done with internet-based companies.

We appreciate their efforts and look forward to a strong relationship moving forward.

Original Review: Dec. 20, 2019

Updated on 05/14/2020: Hibu is overpriced and unorganized. For $809.98 monthly they will build you a" Myspace page" looking website and Facebook, and disappear from contact. They cancel appointments, no show, never return calls when you are a customer, and when you cancel they continue to send bills and say they are still running the website. We cancelled our service over a month ago, in writing, with confirmation of receipt and cancellation from them, and they continue to call and email non stop.

During our experience when we paid over $800 a month, they placed a trial mode appointment widget on our page that allowed patients to schedule appointments outside of our business hours, and double book, and when an appointment was booked it never sent proper notification, this was a headache to say the least. It was so bad when I called to cancel service, I wasn't even asked why. Our HiBu rep however, was extremely helpful and supportive.

Original Review: Hibu doesn't care about your time, today was the 3rd time we had an appointment scheduled to go over our current website with them, and make some changes and ask questions. We are paying customers. They have flaked THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT EVERY TIME. Today "Cliff" called 25 minutes before he was supposed to be here and he said he "woke up sick". I asked him why he would wait to tell me 25 minutes before our scheduled and confirmed appointment time to cancel and he said he woke up sick. Did you just wake up? I commute over an hour 1 way to work, I made sure I was here a half hour early to greet him and set up for our team meeting with Hibu, that he cancelled. This is a no call no show, 25 minutes? 3 times in a row? I had to call everyone and tell them not to come, Hibu cant keep an appointment and doesn't respect your time.

First of all this service was misrepresented to us by the salesperson Jon ** on the first day we talked to him. We took the Facebook ad service with him telling me that the facebook ad could be targeted to meet our needs (for example "Veterinarian"). Well, that simply was not true. The closest they could get was a very general target of "college-educated". This is totally useless. We also were told that we could change the ad when we wanted and I did several times. Each time they messed it up and in fact, the ad that they are forcing on us now is still not what we sent them.

Also, I have sent numerous emails to the salesperson and his manager. They came out to talk to us and we were willing to let them try to fix the mess. The next couple of days Jon sent me a file image of a new ad. I took the ad he sent and edited it myself to make it just what I wanted. Remember this is the same ad image that he sent me that I changed the text on. So simple right. No, when it posted it was still wrong and after several emails to change it it is still wrong. At that point, I was so done with these people since they did not give me what they sold me upfront and they were unable to get the ad right.

We have told them to cancel the service they have refused at every turn. Their tactic is just not to call or email you back with any real help. Then they sent me to what they called the investigation team! Wow, they have an investigation team for just what I not sure. Still haven't heard from them either. We will be making a complaint with the BBB and with the state of Wisconsin since this company has provided us with no help whatsoever. We have canceled the payment and they, in turn, have threatened to send us to collections. Don't believe what these people tell you. The worst part of it is we got NO HELP for the ads at all. $300 per month wasted. The listing manager was of uses but that cost was $40. The rest a complete waste of time and money. Think twice before you sign anything with these people. They have no intention of ever letting you off it even if the service was misrepresented.

Long story short. A sales person stopped into my karate school to get my business. He was very pushy but in a nice way, that's what sales people do. He was actually pretty nice and did everything he could to get me started. I signed a contract that was to begin in about 4 months from signing. My business wasn't where it needed to be so I canceled before the contract took effect. Since then it has been nothing but a nightmare. Taking money out of my account for a service I am not using. Harassing emails and texts. And just utter incompetence. I've spoken to people in the upper levels who assured me everything is canceled. And yet as of yesterday I received an email telling me my payments are late. I have everything documented and I'm about to seek legal counsel. Run! Run from these people as fast as you can.

Hibu has provided clarity on the issue, and though it was not the right marketing avenue for us, they made every effort to satisfy the client. We appreciate the many people who took the time from Hibu to speak with us in regards to our situation.

Original Review: Dec. 16, 2019

As someone who has nearly 10 years of experience working in marketing, I was excited to see what Hibu could do for my business, especially after the initial meeting and webinars. At the very start, I was told that I could cancel my contract after 6 months; when I inquired to do so, I was told I was locked in for 12 months, and there is no way of getting out.

In the 6 months of having Hibu, we were not seeing any leads or inquiries for our business coming from Hibu. Instead, the marketing I was doing on my own, was pulling in more foot traffic for our business. Instead of Hibu trying to resolve and better their services, they would keep highlighting the call times, and the clicks on the website. Again -- none of that made a difference to me, if THOSE specific people were not walking in my door. After jumping from loop to loop, I was able to cancel the largest bulk of my Hibu contract, but was still left with my Google listings -- I was told it was a still a 12 month contract, and I had to continue paying the $40/month, for another few months (until the contract ended). I agreed to that, and it was the end.

Just recently, people informed me that they could NO longer find our business on Google. When I went to look, I was seeing that it was completely removed, along with our Google maps, reviews, images. etc. I contracted Hibu to learn more about this, and they said that because I had requested it to be removed, they removed it. But here's the best part...I was ALWAYS told I could not remove it because it was a 12-month contract, and I have it in writing (via email), agreeing to keep the Google listing.

So why on earth would Hibu remove something from my business end, without my consent OR better-off, without informing me. This is a loss of business and moreover, revenue because when people search for our business, it will not show up for them anymore. This has been the WORSE experience from Hibu and I will NOT recommend them to my business-owner friends.

After one year of service with this company my contract ended. Three months later got a call from a salesman and I told him I did not wish to renew my services. Too much after that this company started to charge my card $40 per month for the last year. I requested a refund in May 2019 and demand this fraudulent charges & fraudulent contract ceased. I’ve got nothing but the runaround and they are still continuing to charge my card and its December 2019. I’m going to the Better Business Bureau, the Federal Trade Commission, as well as my state Attorney General to have them refund my $450 immediately.

Do not give this company your credit card number. You will never be able to cancel. I’ve talk to customer service several times have lied to me about the process and I have sent several emails as well. I am furious. As a small business owner starting my new business they have locked up funds of mine which is totally unfair. Total rip off Completely!! By the way their marketing sent me four customers in a one year.

I have had the WORST experience with this company. I was told I could cancel after 6 months and then, when I went to cancel, that told me I was locked in for a year. The reason I was cancelling was because I saw absolutely NO benefit from their services, so to be stuck for a year paying over $700 a month for an additional 6 months was infuriating. I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone!

Never had a company "authorize" services with just a phone call-no data, no contract, no approval. No responses from customer service other than to replay the initial taped call that was just to identify if I was the "decision maker". Worst possible business interaction. No better than old toner-slammers of 10 years ago.

One star is not even appropriate. I called Hibu in April to cancel our service. I jumped through all the hoops necessary to have this done and was told it was completely taken care of. In October I received another bill from Hibu and the customer service representative assured me that our account had been cancelled back in April. November rolls around and once again I got a bill from Hibu and this time the representative tells me that he has no record of us ever cancelling back in April. I asked to speak to a manager and was ask "why do you need to talk to a manager, they are going to tell you the same thing?" I told him that the way business was being handled was unacceptable and that I would need to talk to the manager. When I asked for the manager's name, I was ask "for what?" Then I was hung up on. Find another avenue, do NOT use HIBU!!! They are taking advantage of small businesses.

Worst ROI ever. Everything they do is misleading. Anyone with a google analytics account can see very little actual traffic for HIBU ads. Their dashboard is a bunch of fake statistics. I'm not even sure where they get their stats but definitely not verifiable. I tried to cancel and was routed through some call center in India to be told I had a min 6 month contract again not what my rep told me. Very disappointing!!! The rep is super nice. Unfortunately she may not be the brightest crayon in the box selling such a crappy product.
