Egumball False Claims, False promises, AVOID
Avoid EGUMBALL like the plague. Their sales reps make false claims and guarantees and after 9 months with this company with excuse after excuse, I finally cancelled their service and further payment obligations (According to the manager I was working with Sergio).
I filed a BBB complaint prior to cancellation, and after 3 months they responded to the complaint. The very next day after their response, I was contacted by Egumball claiming that I still owed for the 3 months remaining on the contract and that the account would be sent to collections. In the three months, I was never, called, emailed, mailed or otherwise contacted about any payments due then the day after a BBB response, I suddenly owe them money. I ask to speak to Sergio, the manager that had agreed to the cancellation but conveniently, he no longer works there.
This company sells on false promises and then stalls when ask to try to collect the full contract while trying to deliver the promised results. I had ask for a full refund of what I had paid and settled for no further billing, which they went back on.
Do not trust anything that anyone in this company has to say. If their lips are moving....it's false.

Scam Scam Scam Lie Lie Lie
Dennis Sommers told me he would put me on GOOGLE not GOOGLE MAPS. Yes he did say he was with egumball. He also said he would put me on GOOGLE. He did not say GOOGLE MAPS. If he had side GOOGLE MAPS. I WOULD HAVE SAID NO. They have a web page up of my business will false information on it and will not correct it. I feel this company has misrepresented themselves just as they are trying to force me misrepresent my business.I am an in home day care. The web page they put up for my business is wrong. They have a long list of services that I do not provide. 8 out of 10 of the services are wrong. They have, (day care center on there twice). I am an in home daycare. Not a (day care center). They have (Child Care Agency) I am an in home daycare. Not a (Child Care Agency).They have (Learning Center). I am an in home daycare. I am not a (Learning Center). They have (Day Care Agency). I am an in home daycare not a (Day Care Agency). They have (Child Care Center on there twice). I am an in home Child Care not a (child care center). They have (Nanny Services on there twice). I am an in home daycare. I do not provide (Nanny Services).The services I provide are...Day Care, Child Care, State licensed Day Care, DHS accepted Day Care, Private Pay Child Care, before school care, after school care. This is the heart of my business.These are the key words I gave Dennis Sommers when he was asking me what I wanted him to put on Google. IF HE HAD SIAD NO WE CANT PUT THAT ON THERE. Google mandates proper categorization of its Google Places listings. We have to say the serviced that you provide are, day care center and that has to be on there twice, Child Care Agency, Learning Center, Day Care Agency, Child care center that has to be on there twice and Nanny Services also has to be ho there twice.IF HE WOULD HAVE TOLD ME ANY OF THIS I WOULD HAVE SAID NO.I talked to them and asked them to *** the services I do not provide. They said they could not *** any of the services I do not provide because they have to stay with Google compliant.I contacted Google and Google said they were not affiliated with egumball
(The fine print on the contract I signed says)I ("Client") hereby award eGumBall, Inc. ("Publisher") the "Right To Agency" to promote the above name advertising and keyword(s). (They promoted 2 of the 7 key words I gave them)Performance Guarantee: If publisher does not activate service within the first thirty (30) days of this agreement, client may opt out of this agreement without penalty and receive a 100% refund(Service was activated. However it is a big misrepresentation of my business and they refuse to correct it) It just can’t be legal for a company to force you to misrepresent your company.

I received a high pressure sales call from Egumballs they promised me that I would be on the first page of google. They lied to me, charged my credit card after I had canceled.
Turned it into a collection agency. This company does care about its customer, all they want is your money. This company is dishonest and the workers are very rude. I would never recommend this so called company to anyone ever
They should be reported and investigated.
They have no honor and integrity
This company is a Rip Off scam stay away. I am very upset about this so called company
Egumball is a SCAM
They have been calling my business saying that they are doing a Google Maps Placement Authorization. I asked if it was Google calling me and the salesperson replied that Google no longer contacts consumers and that they were handling it now...When I questioned her further, she hung up on me.
It is a total scam! They are trying to sell their services while using the Google name. They are fraudulently making consumers believe that they are Google and therefore trustworthy. It is all a lie!
I get so sick of these calls. They are not the only ones doing this!

Verified ReviewerSCAM!!!
eGumball has not let me cancelled my services, even though it says in the contract I could cancel if no services were recieved in the first 30 days. They claim there is services by emailing me.
They have charged my credit card 2 times for $400.00 and have not once delivered any services. All they have asked for is promotional code from a postcard google was supposed to send me. It does not take google this long to deliver the post card. I have done it several times before.
They promised me front page exposure on google, which has not happened and they cannot make those promises.
They also claim to be google which is not true. They are one of thousands of company that go through google. Even after all the dissatisfaction I have expressed to them about their company and services, they refuse to quit charging my credit card, cancel my account, and say they will dispute any thing my bank sends them.
Do not use this company if you're expecting any kind of customer service, contract agreement, or service promised to be delivered.
They are a huge SCAM!!!! I'm going to try Yext instead.

eGumball Inc. Destroyed my advertising and ripped me off $318 After promising I had 30 days to cancel. Irvine California
An eGumball sales lady called me and we talked about optimizing my current ads on the Internet. My concern was getting into the placement portion of the first page under "Knoxville Private Investigator" & "Tennessee Private Investigator". I agreed to pay the $318 up front fee that included set up and the first months payment. I was conatacted the next day by an eGumball technition that informed me that they were not able to do the deal because my address is a UPS box address and they could not use that address. The other address I had used and had current ads running on Google Adwords and Adwords Express was a 10 year old address that was used for a call forwarding number. This address does not exist. It was made up by AT&T just because they needed a street address in Knoxville for the phone number. When I first started advertising with adwords they verified the address by phone not by sending a postcard to the address. I explained that any changes to that address would result in my advertising dropping off of Google for that address. They said they would be unable to do it so we had to cancel the deal. I tried to stop payment on the virtual check I gave them over the phone but they had already taken it out of my account. They then had a guy by the name of Jeff Bode call me who stated that he could get the ad up if I gave him my password to my google ads and I got a second phone number to use at the UPS box. Again I explained that the call forwarding address was not to be touched and I aquired an additional phone line. He went into my accounts and added the new number to the call forwarding address promting a post card confirmation. That is impossible since there is really no such address and my ads were removed. As of this date none of my ads with egumball are showing and they still refuse to give me back my money.
Egumball does not live up to sales pitch
- - Signup was six months ending June 2011.
- - No performance guarantees; they threaten to sue for reviews.
- - Paid $200/mo and ranked for 1 of 10 keywords.
I signed up with them and was with them for 6 months ending in June 2011. Regardless of what they infer on the sales calls, the contract you sign has no guarantees of performance.
I was paying $200 a month and I was only ranking for 1 out of 10 keywords. Also, they are threatening to sue me for writing reviews of their performance. It's no wonder it's hard to find reviews about this company.

He made me have a better experience
My phone call went great with Riyad. He was able to find out what I needed and took care of it right away.
He walked me through my dashboard and showed me how it worked and how to log in. He made me have a better experience with egumball! I also liked that he created a Google link so that my customers could leave me a review. We got a new review because of that!
Riyad is awesome! - Angela
Amy gave me the time that I needed
I am very satisfied with our conversation! You guys have done everything you guys said you would do and it was excellent!
I am satisfied that we are working hard on my account and I liked that everything was clear! Amy gave me the time that I needed and was patient.
She also repeated things when I didn't understand. Thank you Amy - Vtek
I think we are going in the right direction
I thought my call with Juan was great. He was very communicative and very patient!
He was able to put himself in my shoes and it went really well. He did great and has great patience! He gave me clear information and it was a painless process.
I think we are going in the right direction and he is a very nice young man to work with. - Tom
And he didn’t waste any of my valuable time
EGumball’s customer service was prompt and effective. Anwar gave a clear, concise, VERY thorough walk through of Google My Business page and answered all of my questions.
He spent all the time I needed and didn’t rush. And he didn’t waste any of my valuable time either.
I would give him at least 5.25 stars! - Robert
You guys got your stuff together
Amy is the greatest! She gave me the verification so my ad goes live online and she really knew what she was talking about.
You guys got your stuff together and know what you are doing.
That is why I came on board! - John
That made me feel a lot more comfortable
Larrisa is very good and very helpful! There was an internal problem that Larrisa was able to help me with.
She takes younger people's technology and translates it to my age group.
That made me feel a lot more comfortable working with you guys. - Dave
