    I'm very frustrated because I tried to cancel a year ago because I was not getting any new business from the Website that they created for my Etsy business, but they play tricks with you and never actually cancel your subscription. I thought it was cancelled until my ex-partner said he was still getting billed all these months but thought he was paying for something else. The Website primarily attracts solicitors trying to sell me their services. It has been a total waste of money and time. $603 per month is a total ripoff !!! I cant attribute even 1 sale from my website with HIBU after almost 2 years. Hibu won't compromise and refund back some of the months to me.

    This company has been one of the worst I’ve ever dealt with. Our support manager was completely unreachable, disappearing for months. When I contacted corporate, they said they’d address it with the support manager but insisted they needed an updated contract. All I asked for was our website domain back, but they claimed they owned it now. Only then—after nearly six months of failed attempts at contact—did our support manager finally reach out to ask how things were going. On top of that, they pressure you into renewing so you don’t lose your site. Terrible company, terrible support; I’m looking for a better system and trying to reclaim our domain. Absolute trainwreck. I feel scammed.

    Hibu breached the terms of my contract and agreement. I signed up for Hibu in 2018. The past few years I have tried to cancel individual services and have finally been told that they bundles all services into 1 in 2021. They have not provided me with any documentation regarding a notice of bundling and being unable to cancel individual services. Included in those services are website assist, a discontinued service and Appts/Call-Request/Scheduling, also a discontinued service. Hibu responded that even tho the services were discontinued they were still available for me? Which clearly undermines contract Term 2C under Hibu Websites which states:

    (c) If we are unable to supply you with a Service, for example because that Service is no longer available, we will inform you of this by email and we will not process your Order. If you have already paid for the Services, we will refund you the full amount as soon as possible. The response I got back from hibu about the services being discontinued is: "At no time did any of the products you were using previously become unavailable to you. You have always had access to our Support Team to make changes as you see fit."

    I have tried to cancel individual services but since they were bundled into 1 in 2021 I have been denied multiple times. Hibu has also not provided any communication to show I was informed of merging my 6 services into 1 even after multiple requests and them saying they would get that information over to me. Hibu only has the original contract signed in 2018. My services are under the legacy legal terms of agreement which do not include price increases and states that after the minimum term any individual service may be cancelled. I have requested a breakdown of the services they have listed but they have not provided me with it. And I am still waiting on the communication where I was informed about the bundling of services and price increases.

    When I first met Josh and learned about Hibu, I was unfamiliar with the digital marketing industry. Initially, I experienced a bit of sticker shock. However, after doing my research and interviewing two other companies, I quickly realized that Hibu’s pricing is more than fair. In fact, they offer significantly more value than other leading competitors in the area.

    Their presentation was by far the most professional, and they truly stand by their work. Since partnering with Hibu, we’ve seen real benefits, gaining new customers and growing as a company. Although I was unsure about signing up at first, our company had plateaued in growth, and we needed a change. Hibu stepped in and created a professional new website, ensured our business was properly listed on Google and other directories, and provided us with more advertising opportunities than any other company we spoke to.

    Stay away from this scam!! All the good reviews they have they write themselves. They promised a great service and I decided to try. For the first month I asked for a little bigger budget that they suggested so we can see some results. After the first month no phone calls or email and my website disappeared two weeks after. They were notified about it but they still charged me for the full month of pay per click and they charged upfront for the next month even though they knew that my website is gone. I asked them to stop the service since my website is gone but they said you still have to pay for 6 months ahead because you have the contract.

    The budget for pay per click was optional and they still charged me the big amount without my permission. Even the first two weeks we got not even one phone call or email from Google Pay Per Click. When I did the same on my own I always got some phone calls.

    Updated on 02/11/2025: I am writing part 2 of my review today as Hibu's customer relations rep Claudia called me with a resolution. While of course Hibu admits to no wrongdoing regarding my account, she came at me with $1,000 credit which I immediately rejected. I initially synced with Claudia when she left me a voicemail stating she was calling about my ConsumerAffairs review. She did not want to discuss my account or how she could help, she was just trying to avoid my review being posted. Please see below screenshot of an email I sent Claudia on 1/28. After today she said she will be responding to my review on CA. If her response is anything like our phone conversation, it will include a lot of inaccurate, random numbers coupled with lies as to how they handled my account.

    On 1/28 I had to pay for a call with Google small business support (representative Bernadette) to unwind the damage Hibu did to my Google My Business profile. Without my permission, Hibu changed my GMB to one of their call tracking numbers. Bernadette from Google said this is 100% why my profile was locked up for a month and said anyone who works with Google should know that you need a real number listed, not a call tracking number that no one will answer. She also looked at my profile and asked me why I only had one city listed on my GMB profile. I said Hibu is managing this, and I do not have a good answer. Again, she said anyone working with Google knows you can list up to 20 cities in your profile easily. She stated this should have been done on day one.

    Claudia today said they provided me with 109 leads, so my claim is false from my earlier post about only receiving 9 leads. I explained to her, as I did my local rep, that 100 of them were spam. Two months ago, when I reported these leads as spam to my local rep, she insisted that this could not possibly be the case and assured me that she was going to call them to confirm. As with everything else at Hibu this was an empty promise, I never heard another word about it. When I spoke to Claudia today she had the nerve to ask me if I have even called these leads. I assured her that given the fact that I have spent almost $30k with her company, I absolutely call them all.

    She then proceeded to pick out a specific lead and said "have you called Joe Blow?" (not using a real name here) and I said of course I did, look at the notes. She didn’t even know there were notes attached to the leads but felt entitled to question my efforts. I encourage anyone to read the attached screenshots of how poorly my relationship has been handled. These are real screenshots from my Hibu dashboard. Not sure how they are going to try and explain their way out of this, but I am sure they will try. Again, this is the only communication I have had with Hibu since before the holidays. They only called because I posted a very honest review of my experience backed up with screenshots to prove it all. I encourage everyone to read my first review as well.

    Original: I signed up with this company end of July with a spend target of $5,500/month. Below are pictures of all "leads" Hibu has claimed to have sent me. You will see the rows that are highlighted with green, those are the only leads where there was a real person who wanted the work we are profiled to do within the territory we are profiled to work in. That is it, simply 9 leads with a total spend so far of $28,993 to be exact. I have a local sales rep who I have met in person, and while she is a nice person not very good at her role with this company. I have also multiple times talked with her boss who is out of Kentucky, a classic over-promiser with zero follow up. I have made my opinion of the poor results known multiple times with little to no help.

    I had a come to Jesus phone call with the boss of my rep on 12/23. He promised me a very detailed email regarding my spend, results and most importantly what was left on my contract obligations. Of course, this is right around the holidays so I waited a week to send a follow up email re the talk we had on the 23rd. Today is 1/27 and I have still not received a phone call or email from the Kentucky boss. I was frustrated with the lack of any clarity on my very simple questions regarding my contract and the details so on 1/16 I called their "client success team". I first spoke with George in this department who did some research and promised me an email that day. He also transferred me the same day to Matt in this department.

    Matt stated he could not give me an exact answer but promised he was emailing my sales rep and her boss immediately and they would reach back out to clear this simple question up. Well today is 1/27 and I still have not received a call or email from anyone at Hibu. I have had to constantly check my website for mistakes, which I find often. Every now then our gallery of pictures of work completed are simply just gone. I must call or email several people it seems to ever get this fixed. They also locked up my Google My Business page simply because they do not understand how it works. They claim to work very closely with Google but if so, why do they not themselves have a Google review profile page? I am assuming for the same reason I am writing this.

    Lastly to prove how clueless this company is a higher-level employee (not mentioning any names as it is not worth someone getting fired over this) told me when a job is completed, give a small discount at the end in return for a good Google review (I have this in writing). I then told them I have heard this is not a smart practice with Google and they should not be telling people this as it is unethical. The person then later emailed me and said thanks for that information, you were correct with your statements about Google. Again, they are not the experts they put themselves out to be.

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.)

    The salespeople promise the world and the product itself just fails to deliver. In my case I believe Hibu committed a material breach of contract, and they still are trying to hold me in the contract. I operate a window cleaning business. Here's my experience: The website they create is generic and bad. They outsource it to their India team so it's full of poor English and done by people who in my case didn't understand the difference between power washing and window cleaning. You can pay somebody on Fiverr $10-20 to build a website better than what Hibu does. Okay, that's annoying but it's my own fault. I should have asked more questions. Luckily, you can edit your own website which I had to do because when I submitted changes they got ignored.

    Now let's talk ads: This is where I believe my sales reps caused a material breach of contract. I'm honestly not even certain still if a window cleaning ad ever ran. I was never able to find my ad when searching for it. In the first few weeks almost all of my ad spend was going towards solar panel cleaning. I received no calls for window cleaning. This was a first for me. In the 10 months operating my business I would receive 3-4 new homes a day for window cleaning. In two weeks with Hibu ads I received zero window cleaning calls. I would search here or there for my ad using the various phrases, but I never found it. The material breach I believe is that they were advertising me as a Power Washing company. I am a window cleaning company.

    The words window cleaning is in my business name. Why are they running ads and using the bulk of the budget on add-on services like solar panel cleaning and power washing? So, I ask Hibu to change it. They tell me they do. But no matter what I do - I'm still not finding my ad. Finally, I have to go into my dashboard and figure it out on my own. There were ads for power washing and solar panel cleaning in my dashboard but there were still no ads created for window cleaning. Meaning that if you searched for window cleaning, you'd see my ad for solar panels or power washing. That alone would explain why I got no calls for window cleaning. But here's the kicker. They were running the ads in Texas instead of in California where I live and operate my business.

    This was just unacceptable for me. I immediately emailed to cancel my contract. I hired them to take this part of my business off my plate so I wouldn't have to worry about it and it did nothing but create massive headaches that are still continuing. I offered to pay them ~$800 out of the ~$4200 initial two months of contract for the work they did. I thought this was fair all things considered. They are trying to hold me in the full 6-month contract now. My sales reps have all but vanished. It's a nightmare. My last hope is that my bank does the right thing and sees through the snakeskin oil salespeople that Hibu employs and approves my dispute.

    The claims team at Hibu says I have no case - they offered me a $100 credit for the 5 days my ads were in Texas. After I emailed to cancel and asked them to cease all work on my account they went in and added the window cleaning ads. The claims team is saying they were present the entire time which is a lie. Do not make the same mistake as me. Run as far away as you can. I'm going to be sharing this with every service professional I know in my area so this doesn't happen to somebody else.

    Thank you for the opportunity to speak with our client regarding their concerns. Our client’s concern was that his Search ads focused on power washing and solar panel cleaning instead of window cleaning. During the consultation, the client listed window cleaning, house washing, solar panel cleaning, and pressure washing as the services for his Search campaign. We understand our client is also concerned that his Search ads targeted TX rather than CA. Our records indicate that our Support Team changed the geo-target for the Search campaign incorrectly on 7/25/24. This was corrected on 7/29/24 and the client was offered credit which he refused. The client has requested to cancel but they are still within the terms of their 6 month contract. Our client has been notified that a request to cancel can be made for the Smart Online Presence on 12/31/24 and the Search, Display, and Social on 6/15/25. We have emailed the client with a direct number and email, should they have further questions or concerns.

    We appreciate the chance to talk with our client regarding their concerns. Our client’s concern was that their website had been shut down. In the terms and conditions that our client agreed to on 11/08/23 it is stated if payment is not received, Hibu reserves the right to suspend or cancel all or part of the Services and access to them. Before this action was taken there were multiple warnings provided to our client via phone and email regarding their past due balance. This account has since been paid current and services have been reinstated as requested by our client. We understand our client is also concerned over the ROI. Our client was provided a Statement of Work on 11/08/23 with the expected results of their products, to which we have exceeded. The client went from a listing error rate of 75% before Hibu to 0% today. In the SOW it states that the Social ads should average at least 40 clicks each month, to which we exceeded with over 60 clicks per month. The SOW also stated that the Search ads would see greater than a 1% click-thru rate and an average of $4.65 cost per click. Our client had 27.1 K impressions, 460 clicks, and a 1.7% click-thru rate with a $3.02 average cost per click. We are looking forward to our continued business relationship with them.

    As the owner of a digital marketing agency representing a client in Boise, I am deeply concerned about the conduct of one of Hibu's employees, Eric **, who is located in Southington, CT, and holds the title of Digital Marketing Strategist. You are my competitors so this is an ethical issue. Last night, Eric engaged with the AI chatbot on my client's site under false pretenses, claiming to be a potential customer. Our bot, designed to respond efficiently within 5 seconds and handle up to 25 prompts, provided clear answers about our services and location. Despite this, Eric used his marketing knowledge and skills carelessly, deliberately provoking the AI into an unnecessary argument. The bot would provide our location and services and Eric kept pushing back. Breaking the AI and getting it to argue is no easy feat and was clearly not by chance; this was the work of someone deliberately toying with the AI.

    Eric then had the audacity to leave defamatory reviews on multiple platforms, including Yelp, Google, and Facebook claiming to be victim of harassment. Eric must have forgotten all he had to do was close the window. This behavior is both unprofessional and unacceptable. It is evident that Eric's actions were a deliberate attempt to toy with the AI and then play victim, unfairly penalizing my client for the interaction with the chatbot. In speaking to Eric about the situation to see if we could resolve the problem he chose to post a comment about my wife.

    We are hardworking individuals striving to earn an honest living and did not deserve this unprovoked attack. Despite reaching out to Hibu via Facebook, Yelp, and email, we have received no response. This lack of accountability is troubling. I urge Hibu to take immediate action by coaching Eric on business ethics and professionalism. Until corrective measures are taken, this review will stand as a testament to our experience. Should Hibu address this misconduct appropriately, I am open to amending this review.

    Customer for over 10 years and disappointment in the lack of compassion when cancelling. A little background I had to cancel my services because I recently sold my business. I had not known I was supposed to give 15 days notice before cancelling to not be charged whole month. I called Hibu to cancel my service, 3 days before the new month started. I was not aware that a 15 day notice is required. I had to pay $316 dollars for advertising for a business that I no longer owned. 15 days are required before cancelling yet they want you to pay a whole months' worth of fees, wasn't even offered any reimbursement.

    I was so focused on the sale of my business that I didn't think to look into the fine print and yes, I take responsibility for that. But again, some compassion and flexibility for a loyal customer would have been appreciated. Not many people would remember a contract from over 10 years ago that there is a 15-day cancelation policy. I'm sure I'm not the only person who didn't know or remember this ridiculous policy, which is sickening how much money they are pocketing from this! Disappointed that I wasn't offered any reimbursement, and no exception was made considering I have been a loyal customer for many years. Now if the new owner asks me if she would recommend your services in the future, I'm now inclined to say no.

This was not accomplished so therefore, I am entitled to cancel my contract, however, after talking with five different people, nothing could be done to cancel my account even though they voided the contract.

    The worst marketing company I've found so far. I'm paying over $14,000 a month. They don't have their Google Reviews turned on for a reason! I've been with them for 10 months and my leads have dropped to nothing, over half of my staff doesn't have work, and all they do is defend their "data". You get charged for each time someone calls you for example 1. Customer calls to schedule appointment 2. customer calls to change appointment time 3. customer calls to pay you. They will count this as 3 Quality leads and charge you for each and a ridiculous rate of $100+ per lead, and when you complain their response is along the lines of -- you had 3 quality calls just yesterday (meaning the calls listed above). They talk you into paying them to build your website so it all works together, but the website performs poorly and ranks much much lower than the previous. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!

I signed this Proposal on 1/11/23 for 6 months and in it they outlined that half of what I purchased is "Targeted ad campaign on Facebook and Instagram that builds awareness, website traffic or leads for your business. 6 months remaining in contract". Not only has this Facebook ad done dismal, I didn't approve it and it doesn't look anything like what you'd expect in my industry. I recruit Insurance agents. They don't seem to understand my business model. I have also never seen my ad on Instagram. I have reached out numerous times with no response and their customer service simply doesn't care- just referencing that my contract 6 months isn't up yet because THEY started late.

    They just want the money. They do not care about if they produce the results that they promised or any at all for that matter. I have emailed Andrea **, Christopher **, and customer service. I have called customer service and they do not care about rectifying anything. This is a predatory company that does not stand by their product and does not provide minimal customer service. Their "contract" also does not spell out any of these terms that they go on to reference when telling you they won't do anything. Stay away. Find a company that cares because they certainly don't. I also found out that they terminated Christopher ** because of his disability. As a disabled veteran, I would never support a company that discriminates against their employees.

    We looked into Hibu starting in November of 2022. A sales rep had come to visit our office and we really liked what we were told. We signed up with them, with a 6 month contract, in November of 2022 and made our first payment to them in that same month. We didn't go live with them until January of 2023, but we made a payment in December 2022 that went towards visibility marketing. In January 2023, our price went up as we finally went live, but the issues started to come afterwards. Our visibility was now *lower* with Hibu than with our previous company, so we decided to give it another month or so.

    March rolls around and we are deader than ever, which is not normal for us, so we bump up our budget by about $1500, through a verbal confirmation in a monthly meeting. What we weren't told is that by bumping the budget up, we would be *renewing* the six month contract. No one said anything in the meeting and the new statement we got in March, after that meeting, on the 10th, said that we had 3 months remaining in our contract. By April, we were becoming dissatisfied with the service, and our contract was going to be up in June. So when we were asked if we wanted to renew in May/June, we said no. We asked for confirmation on our end date, we have YET to receive that.

    We have reached out multiple times to not only our sale rep, but our account manager and their manager, and we still haven't received what we've asked for. We called last week, and we were told by Customer Service that our contract was renewed in March, but we have NOTHING that confirms that, including our monthly statements. We haven't received any email telling us how to end our services, or outlining any of the next steps, like we have been asking for. Our contract, according to all of our documents, state it should have been completed no later than June 22nd. It is now August 15th, and we have no word from them as to when they will stop charging us. They did not even tell us to contact Client Success to terminate this contract.

    Hibu Cold called us in March of 2022 for seo and online marketing. After 6 months of working with them for SEO they could not generate one phone call or online lead form so we cancelled with them. Upon cancellation they told us we could not cancel our online foundation's platform which they force you to buy in order to "view" your lead result that they generate. We told them in September when we cancelled our seo contract that once the 12 month contract is up we want to cancel the foundation's contract. We just learned that they continued to charge us in March, April, May and June of 2023. They told us they can not refund this amount because we are required to call it in to customer service and not our sales account manager.

    In the end we wasted thousand of dollars for no seo results and a software that did nothing for us because we cut seo for them. They ended the relationship in a horrible way. Beware and don't listen to anything the sales rep says to you they promise you the world and then go back to the contract and say, "Too bad. This is what the contract says." Lesson learned!

    I signed a 6-month contract with Hibu to have our website rebuilt and host our website. We also signed up with SEO and a advertising package. Prior to signing up I repeatedly was reassured that if we did not like the website or if we did not see the benefit, we could have our website moved back to Godaddy. That was false. Hibu uses a proprietary system to build the website that cannot be moved to any other host. They pulled all our information off the existing website to build theirs and now I cannot get the information back. Our website is down, and we have to build from scratch. They also stopped communication 2 months in. We seen a decline in calls and search engine ranking. This was a terrible decision and would advise everyone to stay away from this company.

    Original Review: May 31, 2023

    I wasn't going to leave a review, but this has went on for a month now. To start I set a certain price to set up a website. When it came time to pay the bill was way over. The customer service doesn't care about helping. They will brush you off to someone else that will give you the same run around. VERY ANNOYING. Once the site was being set up always got a answer. I been trying to cancel for a month with numerous emails, calls, texts ETC. The website has furnished nothing, but spam calls from other websites companies and etc all junk calls. Hibu will try say they're legit calls, but fail to look into it. I would NOT RECOMMEND using HIBU for a website. They try to lock you into a contract without a physical signature or a recording of your signing by phone. I'm very DISSATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE PROVIDED.

    This company is a scam, promising to provide a service for a monthly fee. I pay $300 a month for 4 different services, none of which they do. For example, they are to increase my business reviews. While they did receive a number of 5 star reviews my first month with them, none of these reviews are public, I’m the only one who will ever see them. And they have done nothing since, 4 months later. They also took over my Google Business page and removed me from any administrative capacity. This page had a wrong phone number and website address, which initially I could not correct because they removed me. It took me hours on the phone with Google support to figure this out. I sent a message requesting that they correct the phone number and webpage, which Hibu declined. Google support helped me gain access to be an admin, but Hibu is still claiming ownership.

    Another service they provide is ensuring correct online business information. The Hibu dashboard indicated that my online business info was mostly 100% correct. But given the example of wrong phone and web info for at least two weeks and probably longer, their accuracy reassurances were false! I can go on and on about the lack of service, but this gives one a very good understanding of there crappy nonexistent service! Do not use unless you want to throw away you our money on this scam company!

    This company generated NO leads, NO brand recognition, NO help what-so-ever. Furthermore cancelling with them was a NIGHTMARE. Their legal counsel informed me all I had to do was contact my sales rep (which I did) but the sales rep later informed me I had to call their toll free number. So I called. Then I got an email. I called the number in that email. Informed them I wanted to cancel in a voicemail because no one ever answered the phone at that number. NO CANCELLATION. Their legal department rep rudely informed me that I never called their number because they didn't have a record of my call.

    I am not sure how on earth that is even possible. Now I get the pleasure of writing them a large check for months of services for which I HAD CANCELLED. The only way I could get them to stop billing was to cut them off at the payment source or this would have continued indefinitely. I would never trust HIBU with my marketing nor to access to my checkbook. This was by far the biggest waste of time and money. Stay away. Run for the hills.

    The review that you left stated that you did not like the ads that were created. I see that you had requested a different photo because the photo used looked stretched, the image provided was the image that was used. The image looked stretched not because it was improperly resized but rather because it was already stretched when it was sent to us. Once Support was notified that a change was requested the photo was replaced the same day with a stock image photo. In addition, you stated that you had received very few phone calls from your advertising. While researching I noticed that you have never entered the code in your 3rd party website to track and record the calls. The only calls that would show on your dashboard would be when a potential client clicks to call from the ad, if a customer would click to your website to get more information and then click to call the call would not be tracked or recorded because you never entered the code to track that information. I also verified that the radius was set up as requested during the consultation to 13 miles around your business address.

    In 2021 I acquired the long standing Stefani Plumbing from the original owner. In discussions about the marketing he had in place, the original owner said he has been working with Pete at Hibu for quite a few years and gave me his number. I had already started talking with other companies and entertained a few different ideas. I ended up going with another company to create a new website and internet marketing campaign. They were awful. My website looked good but I couldn’t be found online and wasn’t getting any leads. Pete kept calling to check in and after I realized I was getting more attention from “persistent Pete” than from my new marketing company, I decided to hear what he had to say.

    Pete showed me how my current marketing budget was really only getting me a website and not attracting any new customers. He showed me other companies that he works with and more importantly what he was doing with Stefani before I came in and how he could make a much better use of the same marketing budget. He redid my website using what was working with the old owner as well as my own ideas and placed ads on Google and Facebook to attract new clients. 1 year later, I look great online and I am getting a lot of great leads from my marketing campaign. I feel the face to face interaction with Pete and Hibu is what really has made the biggest difference because nothing is lost in translation. We are on the same page and have made tweaks along the way to keep making our marketing better and better. I highly recommend working with Pete and Hibu.

    Original phone call was great. I signed up for a 6 month agreement with the option of a full refund if for any reason I chose to cancel within 7 days. I received an ad for proofing on day 7, it was awful. Broken English, terrible picture, poor grammar, and even referred to my haunted trails as a hiking trail. At this point I tried calling Brian with no luck but I left a message that I wanted to cancel and a refund. I called the main office as well as Sophia the girl who created the ad with no answer but left messages. I did reach the toll free number and was told I had to speak with Brian the original salesmen. I stayed I've tried he isn't getting back to me and they said he was out for a few days. Day 8 Brian calls and says I'm locked in because it's day 8. I spoke with many people in this company now and they are all claiming I get no money back. I strongly suggest everyone think hard before using this company. The customer service is just as bad as their ads.

    Updated on 08/04/2022: Please add this to the end of my original post as you did with my part 2. **READ THEIR RESPONSE AFTER MY FINAL COMENTS**. I would like People to "Become Educated Unlike Me" before they do business with Hibu. I did not complain about my results as advertising is always a risk and regardless of anything, NO ONE can guarantee results. Obviously I was not happy with the results and simply wanted to cancel my contract but because they "do not like to discuss the end of a contract" and I did not read the 118 page contract myself they assume you will be a customer for a long time and do not explain what happens when you cancel service.

    As you can see by their reply this is more than a 6 month contract. In it's simplest form it is for life at today's rate of $225 per month and at any time you cancel be it 1-5 years the result will be the same, you have nothing in the end. Additionally, when you are done with them, absolutely will need to redo a website at your cost of money or time or both. Now, if you still decide to do business with them anyway, understand the advise they are giving in their response. I have tried my best to give you as much information as possible for you to make an educated and informed decision based upon my experience and their reply.

    "Your claim request - no adjustment. Date: 8/3/22. Hi Mr. **, Based on our research of your Hibu marketing concern, we have determined that no adjustment is warranted. As discussed, the website designed for you by Hibu, belongs to Hibu. However, you can copy and paste the content and take any images that you provided. Your Hibu website can be reinstated within 90 days by calling 844 742 7428. The monthly rate has increased to $225.00 per month. You may also wish to check with your previous website host to have your original site reinstated. We appreciate your understanding during our investigation. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thank you, Claudia **. Hibu Customer Service. 877-899-1228."

    Updated on 08/01/2022: Part 2 of Hibu Review "Become Educated Unlike Me." Wow, so after playing phone tag, Claudia ask me why I am unhappy with Hibu. Um, did you not read the review? She says "so you are unhappy that you lost your website?" Are you kidding me. I had a website before starting with Hibu and now I have nothing. Even though I am trying to rebuild my site again, My guess is I lost any SEO work that was associated with the. So I ask her if there is anything in my previous review that is untrue. She can't say that there is and I ask her to respond publicly if there is. Then, I have learned after talking to her that the website that I paid for or any other service related items become property of Hibu.

    Now I don't know where it states that in the contract but I'm sure it's there but either way just another item that was not brought up in the sales pitch. So, anytime you give Hibu access to anything having to do with representing your company keep in mind it all belongs to Hibu. After talking to Claudia and asking about being misled or having things intentionally left out of the initial sales pitch/contract consultation, I am told that they don't talk about things that happen at the end of the contract because they feel you will be a customer for a long time. Again, shame on me for not reading the contract of 118 pages as your sales rep. Will never tell you upfront about anything that happens if you decide to end the contract.

    So, in long, Hibu is not responsible for anything that goes wrong, they own all rights to anything they touch, and if you think about it, it is a life long contract because even if you downgrade your service to $225 a month which is required to keep your site up and you ever decide to stop working with them the end result will be the same just at a later point. Could be months or years depending on how long you stick with them. Keep in mind you have no rights to anything if you cancel your service. At least I own my domain name. I am not sure how to add this to my original review as a follow-up after talking to Cluadia. Attn: Cluadia, please feel free to state any part of my review that is not true and list it so everyone can read and decide for themselves.

    Original Review: * My experience follows recommendation. 1st of all read the contract. It is 118 pages long where they basically are not responsible for anything that they may or may not do. Pay attention to 10(b) 20(c) 21(a) 22 and under Service terms for Website-Vertical 3(c) 3(d). This is how the Sales pitch should have gone. "We can't use your existing website because it sucks and we need to redesign so we can get the best SEO results. The fee for the new website is $250. The SEO contract you signed up for is 6 months at $750. If you decide to cancel you have 2 choices. Lose all the SEO that has been done including your website will be shut down and you don't need to pay anything else.

    The website you paid for cannot be transferred because sites can cost up to $10,000 and we don't offer that service. We understand you had a poor website to begin with but understand if you cancel you will have nothing. Your second choice is to downgrade your service for $225 because that is the only option. Again we will not transfer the site you paid for, nor do we offer just standard hosting of a site. So when can I sign you up."

    So my question is ? Would you still want to do business understanding that this is the reality of the contract. NOW for my experience. What was left out, or how things were worded. If you cancel you won't lose anything and all the work paid for won't be wasted. No mention of losing everything, downgrading site so I would not have wasted my money. I'm sorry you misunderstood. I can't misunderstand anything if it was never talked about. Well you know some places charge $10,000 for their website design but I will help you get a free Google landing page. At no point was I ever told that after my 6 month contract of $750 had to be downgraded to a fee of $225 month to month but as you can see at any point I would still lose all.

    In the 118 Pages of the Hibu contract I do see that says needs to be downgrade. My fault I did not read but it never mention shut down of website. Yes they mention shutting down email account and mail boxes. They never mention you can't transfer website back to original hosting but then again I am not a lawyer and only have so much time to read 118 pages.

    This entire experience with Hibu has been wonderful. The set up process was quick and made very simple. We were walked through everything, told exactly what we needed to do, and we were up and running in no time. Our consultant John has been phenomenal to work with. The initial meeting was great, he really took time to get to know us as a company and gave input about what would work best for us. He's answered all my questions, checked in to see how things are going, and always reassures me I can reach out with any questions or concerns. I definitely think adding Hibu into our company for online marketing was one of the best things we could have done. We've generated new customers and service areas as well as connected with current customers to get honest reviews.

    Hello, my name is Armando **, My father is Angel **, Owner of Eastom Plastering. I am very very upset with Hibu and am hoping to resolve this issue before my farther escalates the situation and terminates the contract early. April 28th > I sent out an email to my agent Mary **, and Sophia **. I made it absolutely clear, that I did not want any sort or form of "tracking" number on my account. Also you have record of the email AND the 2nd / final consultation phone call my father had with Mary and HIBU> MY FATHER MADE I CLEAR ONCE AGAIN NOOO TRACKING NUMBER ON OUR ACCOUNT. (Both of these instances are verifiable). May 25th > Website goes Live, WITH tracking number. We texted and called Mary every 2-3 days demanding to turn off the tracking (which should have never touched my website PERIOD, simple as that....) Tracking number gets turned "off" > but it remained on our website until JUNE 19th.... (According to a tier one manager me and Mary spoke with)....

    3 (THREE) customers, contacted my father, and informed him that the number on the website was a DEAD END NUMBER> IT LEAD TO NOWHERE. July 2nd, I open the website on my MacBook Pro. DEAD NUMBER IS STILL DISPLAYING.... July 4th 2022, > My father, and I, and my younger brother who has nothing to do with this business. Each went on the eastomplastering.com website, and we took VIDEO EVIDENCE!!!! THAT THE DEAD Number REMAINED THERE, when it should have never even touched our website. THE DEAD number was on our website MAY 25th > July 5th... Confirmed on more than 8 difference devices if we include the customers who informed my father of this ridiculous, unbelievable error, on HIBU'S END..

    Absolutely insane how this error went on for so long despite us making this clear (NEVER TRACKING NUMBER), BEFORE THE WEBSITE WAS EVEN LIVE.... We need to find a way to work this out, we are demanding a full month's worth of credit applied to our account effective immediately.... Kristin ** was in charge of performing a thorough investigation, and informed us that no adjustment was warranted.... I contacted her personally via phone call July 11th, 2022 around 10 AM west coast time. She took notes of everything I just typed once again, and said she would contact me right back. I never heard back from her, no update whatsoever. This has been the slowest months my father has had in years. Please contact me, we need to figure out a way to resolve this. Thank you for your time and consideration.

    When Hibu first switched from Yellowbook years ago we tried Hibu. They took our money and never advertised what was agreed upon. We canceled. Fast forward, last year a new rep called us and told us Hibu had changed since then. And he said we would not have a contract. Give them a chance. We did. $1300 a month worth. Our social campaign took month to activate, our google was never hooked up, I never received a report on my actual pay per click from Google which $500 a month was allotted for that.

    In Jan 2022 we added a referral option, which unbeknownst to us locked us into a contract!! I have been trying to cancel my account for 2 months and they will not allow me to until I pay them the $2600 they deceitfully put a contract on us for! We never signed the contract and was never made aware of it. On the signature page of so called contract, It is signed by someone saying "telephone authorization"!!! We were NEVER made aware of this at any time or I NEVER would have added services!! They are unethical and would not recommend this company.

    The owner of our office was talked into an "advertising" account with Hibu. Recently, I received a call from them stating our account was past due. I asked for more info and the snotty collections said "Advertising." I asked what kind, and they very snippily replied, we drive traffic to your website. This raised a red flag because we do Not have a website. The reason their payment was denied is bc we had our account compromised and we were being super careful who we gave the new information to. Apparently, they turn you over to collections pretty quick, our card had been on hold less than a week, so don't mess around with them...

    Collectively, the owner and I decided we didn't need their services for much of the above paragraph. Here is where it gets even worse.... They made her on a recorded line go through a lot of questions, made her say no she didn't want the service etc. I get security but even our bank doesn't put you through what this company put her through. They made it very difficult to leave. By the end of the call the owner was pretty angry.

    The real kicker, this morning I had another message waiting wanting to discuss this further. They don't want to hear from me the lowly office manager, the one that actually makes the decisions. SO, if you like paying for what you're not receiving, high pressure sales and a nearly impossible way to kick them to the curb these are your people.

    I signed up with a marking company on Feb 4th 2021, to increase my sales, website traffic and SEO. According to the agreement, HIBU was to build and switch my website over to a new platform that would meet the criteria to google SEO along with managing my local ranking, listing manager google Keyword SEO. The local sales rep assured me the new website would be ready for a first draft in 2 to 4 weeks. The sales rep that was supposed to work with me quit with HIBU in March and I was assigned another rep Brett. My first website draft was not until April and had numerous errors including grammar, incorrect information, pixelated pictures, duplicate photos, buttons that did not work and or mislabeled and nothing was consistent.

    I was ensured the website would not go live until I approved the final version, however HIBU published the incorrect website WITHOUT my permission. Upon submitting a request to change the errors, HIBU team would only fix one or two at a time and only on the website platform, never on both the website and mobile platforms. I would ask Brett to do very simple changes such as delete extra blank spaces, and his response for almost everything is "That is not possible." So I began to do changes myself and took videos of what I was asking for. It is the last day of May and there are still grammar errors that I have asked to change multiple times.

    Since HIBU switched my domain to their platform, my google SEO has dropped significantly due to incompetency of GLM. HIBU named them random names that DO NOT correspond to my business at all! HIBU assured me they would push five main keywords for google analytic purposes to drive website traffic. After two months of entering this agreement one of the keywords was incorrect and the other one was completely missing! Upon bringing these errors to HIBU, they begin to word stuff with one of the incorrect keywords. Hibu does not follow through after receiving payment and has 100% damaged my WOSB.

    Hired HIBU to run my ads for and I have a full trail of emails asking them that they need to run my ads in my own Google ads account and Facebook ads account. When I asked for reviews from previous clients, they pasted 3 review screenshots (probably fake) in their email and were not able to give me the link to any independent website. They immediately charged my card $10,0000 and hooked me into a contract for 6 months. Red flags started to appear on day# 1.
    -----------------

    FACEBOOK AD - The "Facebook ad expert" they assigned to me by Hibu's project manager's own admission was the "lowest in the food chain". She literally clicked a few buttons here and there, dumped some stock photos in the ad and started running the ad. I was shocked by the incompetence of the ad copy. She even used a stock image (which I had only shown them as an example and clearly told them to not use it due to copyright issues). The ad was so bad that I could have hired a 5 year old and they would have done a better job, I promise. I complained to them and they quickly switched to defensive mode. Instead of admitting they have no idea how to run Facebook ads, they told me "we suggest you explore Google ads instead". I told them to immediately stop running the Facebook ads because I was shocked by their incompetence.

    GOOGLE AD - They made some unauthorized changes to my Google profile which caused Google to suspend my profile and I am still struggling to get it unlocked. Although, the money was taken out on day one, the person assigned to run the Google ad for me did not do anything for the entire month. There was no communication and I had to keep pestering them for "status". The only clicks I have ever got from these ads are from SPAM BOTS. I still have an entire list of SPAM left by BOTs on the incompetent ads they created.

    I blocked my card, but then came the constant harassing voicemails and a barrage of threatening emails claiming to sue me in court. How are these guys in business? How dare they try to rip people off like this? The amount of effort they are putting into threaten legal action, if they had just put it into doing the actual work I hired them to do, this situation wouldn't have arisen.
