Foxtail Marketing

This company is a holistic, integrated full service marketing agency I had recently corresponded with live chat and phone sales representative Oscar in regards to our forthcoming search engine optimization project for our start up which is ecommerce based in the retail industry. We are open to ideas about integrated services including email marketing, social media marketing, pay per click marketing and more but were most interested in how this company would differentiate itself in terms of their SEO proposal and presentation to us. I passed our keyword research and spoke with Oscar via live chat initially and I agreed to have him call me immediately and he obliged. We spoke for about fifteen minutes in which first Oscar listened to learn more about our company and marketing situation. And then proceeded to share more about Foxtail and how they can help suggesting an holistic, integrated marketing approach to which I heartily agreed. I noticed they have a great SEO Woorank of eighty seven which was the second highest in my research. The highest being eighty eight so it was very strong and indicates to me that they know what they are doing. They also have a very solid educational component available and maintain a current blog which is a good indicator that they are very current with their level of understanding and knowledge in their industry.

Unfortunately this company is not in the Better Business Bureau when I checked. This is the easiest way to create trust in a prospect doing their research in my opinion externally of their site. And I was disappointed to not hear back from the company about our proposal, unless I am mistaken though and missed a phone call but I don't recall a voice mail or email follow up at all. They were also not Google Partner certified which I like seeing from a company offering pay per click advertising management.

In the interest of transparency this review qualifies my opinion in terms of the value of the companies presales strategy, as I have assumed by their current reputation online they are trustworthy and deliver what they say. But unless I am mistaken this company did not follow up beyond our initial consultation. They were the first company I contacted during my research because they are so highly rated on a top seo review site online so I was looking forward to learning if they were they best fit but we have narrowed down our choices considerably to a small handful and this company is not among them simply because we did not get a proposal in time for the meeting where I sat with the owner of our company to determine the finalists for our business. A decision we will finalize shortly. Otherwise, they have an incredible website filled with clearly laid out services. There are lots of solid testimonials and case studies available as well. All in all I wouldn't hesitate to contact them to learn if they are the best fit. Perhaps it was a miscommunication which prevented our connecting after our initial consultation. I do believe they are credible nonetheless and would fulfill services that you've ordered.

Foxtail has worked as an extension of my team focusing on improving our SEO for the past six months. What I like best about them is I do not have to micromanage the relationship and they deliver quality work that has resulted in improved rankings and increased organic web traffic.

Not really a negative on them but SEO takes time. They prepared me well at the beginning that there is a lot of upfront work to deliver results.

My team enjoys working with Foxtail and are pleased with our SEO results to date. Our rankings have improved and organic traffic is up. Overall we are very pleased with our progress and the contribution Foxtail has made.

Update to the below review: I got a response from Foxtail marketing regarding my refund request and here is what they wrote: "You will be hearing from us shortly about legal and financial ramifications." They are threatening me because of my refund request! Unreal! ----------- This consulting company is very very basic. Once I cancelled my contract, they continued to charge my card for thousands of dollars. After I announced my cancellation they ignored my emails and didn't write back. We are now in the arbitration process. The first month was with them they submitted "strategy documents" to me that were so basic it was laughable. I used to teach marketing in college and if one of my students submitted these to me they would have got an F. I told them this immediately and instead of explaining what they submitted, they charged my credit card!!!!! Avoid these guys like the plague! Do me a favor, before signing any contract with them, look into who your account reps are. After they submitted their very sub par material I researched who the 3 people on my account were. One of them had no marketing experience via their LinkedIn profile, and spent the last 4 years as a ski instructor. Another person had only 1.5 years experience managing a PPC account for a small company, and the supervisor Alan Templeton has no LinkedIn profile and in my research I failed to see any relationship between him and marketing. The only tie in I can see is he has the same last name as the owner of the company (Mike Templeton), so I am guess that is his brother. Once I confronted them with my teams lack of experience, they took down all their LinkedIn profiles, how shady!!! Stay far, far away!!

The lying was the worst part. They told me experienced people would be working on my account, even the lead person in charge of my account didn't know a THING about marketing, it's the owners brother!!!!

I've worked with a LOT of consulting firms over the years, Foxtail marketing is bar none the worst. They threatened me when I asked for a refund!
