"Made a terrible mess of the SEO work …"

Made a terrible mess of the SEO work they said they would do.

I would advise to stay well clear.

Update: I've noticed that Scoot have been replying to the comments here...

I bought a listings management service from Scoot to build citations for my website. They then made citations which had the wrong name and address of my business.

In addition, they say they give you 500 citational listings, but you actually just get 9.

My Reply to your response:

Actually doing SEO doesn't take a long time. I paid you to make sure that the Name, Address and Phone Numbers were all matching on my directories - a very simple task and you got that completely wrong which resulted in confusion for my customers and Google's algorithms.

I have already cancelled and got my refund.

Again, I would advise anyone considering doing any kind of SEO on their website to avoid Scoot and consult a local SEO company.

"YORKSHIRE CAR SALES - the best"

YORKSHIRE CAR SALES

I bought a DS3 for my daughter, from an independent dealer - Yorkshire car sales in Dewsbury.
I must say fantastic customer service, really good better than dealerships- great hospitality

And best part of it car was best & cheapest in town - got it at a fraction of price - compared to other dealers - we have had the car 6 months now - still as good as new
Would strongly recommend

"Got 'The Call'"

Got THE call to 'check' my listing, (we all know the free listing is just the 'in' for the callback to get you to 'upgrade' to the very expensive, mostly worthless paid version). The angle is a promise to get you listed on hundreds of business directories but this is far from good. BE WARNED, these are just some 500 cheap, low quality, tacky directories that will harm your SEO, so rather than be excited at the prospect of this wide coverage, be wary instead. Once I told him I knew how tacky and 'dangerous' these mass listings were, he ended the conversation, he obviously realised I was maybe more knowledgeable about this than some others might be. Literally anyone can start a directory for profit that's why there's so many around, most of course are totally useless but there are good more highly regarded ones but only a tiny handful in comparison, so do some basic research first.

Think of directories like this, if your own business was selling high-end supercars from a prestigious showroom in Park Lane, London, you wouldn't want to also be associated with Arthur Daly's tacky back street car lot would you as it would damage your reputation and standing.

Edited - Further to the reply from Emma at Scoot, she says "Our list includes very credible sites including Google, Bing, 192.com, Yelp, Foursquare, TomTom and The Independent Business Directory." Yes I will agree with her here, she has mentioned the very best ones and only the best ones, indeed you should be listed on them but these are probably the ONLY ones you need to list on. I find it rather telling that Emma mentions only the best directories, (do they know something most people don't then)? It's the other 400+ that can probably be ignored, certainly I will be ignoring them.

"No return."

Signed up 12 months ago for £70 one off fee and £20 a month. No identifiable business from it, so I decided to cancel.
Emailed them to cancel and received an immediate reply, saying I had to CALL THEM to cancel. Phone numbers on the link they provided were both USA numbers.
Searching through here, I found a reply from Web.com, quoting an 0800 number! That's more like it! Wonder why that number isn't mentioned anywhere on their site?
Got through and after trying to persuade me that my Google Maps listing place was down to them I finally got them to accept that I wanted to cancel. I was already on page 1 on the Google maps for years before I signed up with them.
Fingers crossed, that's the end of it.

"Paid for a full website once they get …"

Paid for a full website once they get your money they are not interested till the year after will not renew as I did not get one phone call and I only found my website if I typed my name into the search bar beware keep away I took submit tracks out they did not even touch nothing all the adverts are still wrong I did listing on the directory even though I'm at the top not one phone call from it and the website they built look nice but no one could find it so what's the point and now they want me to pay £399 for the directories again they've offered to knock it to 299 for the inconvenience what's the point when I don't get no calls from the adverts

"Good company"

I've always liked this company. I've used their service which I have found useful. Scoot was actually the first company I applied for a job with when I turned 18 in 2000. I managed to do all the tests except the minimum word per minute. I was very upset not getting the job and my confidence level became non existent. If only I got the job... I wouldn't be where I am now which is nowhere and 17 years later.

Regrets. So many regrets.

"Bullies & Scam Artists"

Bullies, I stupidly after a number of harassing calls from Scoot.com signed up to their advertising on all their directories, The Sun, The Times etc as I thought it would help improve my business. Well was I wrong my website tracking showed me that all my sales from site had been refereed from my Facebook & Twitter and not a single sale or referral to my site had come from Scoot.com. I personally have spent over £500 on their advertising and feel that it was a huge scam as no way of finding any Stats that they refereed people to my sites... SCAM and CON.

I was called two weeks ago and about renewing and after a half hour listening to how its going to damage my site blah blah that I dont renewal I still cancelled. Today 24/7/2017 -

I was called by a Emma from Web.com asking why I had cancelled and that they had taken over Scoot and was finding out why I cancelled. She seemed apologetic and listened to why I cancelled and I thought she was just getting information so she could investigate further. Nope as BAM I can help you still and do it at the same cost as last year £150 + Vat so all of a sudden a nice listening chat became a sales call again. I am dissapointed that their are still companies like this out there and get away scamming innocent Hard workers trying to grow their businesses.

I advise Stay away from them !!

"I stupidly signed up for a free …"

I stupidly signed up for a free business listing with Scoot.com! Following doing so I received a phone call that went on to last 20+ minutes that I was told was to 'ensure the details provided were correct.' The penny should have dropped when 'Lewis' was asking me if I minded signing up to various business directories. He was desperately trying to find an angle to sell me the services ukweb.com offer. Apparently for a one off payment of £80 and then £20 a month thereafter ukweb.com will register your business on 500+ directories with premium listings. I told him I'd call him back later with my answer. After a quick Google it soon became apparent this offer was a complete scam. Those who signed up to the service received no premium listings and noticed no increase in traffic or backlinks to their websites. After hearing back from 'Lewis,' I told him my company weren't interested in ukweb.com's service due to the negative feedback I'd read online about their services. They then proceeded to call me every day afterwards with the same sales pitch. I have now asked them to remove me from all of their free listings, which might I add; I haven't been able to find whilst searching Google for my company. Hopefully this will stop them hounding me with calls. AVOID AVOID AVOID!

"Atrocious doesn't come close!."

Atrocious doesn't come close!.
Complete scam & waste of money.
Shocking
AVOID, AVOID, AVOID

these guys should be run out of town!!
