"Never Again Scoot"

I was cold called by them after I had submitted my new business on their page for a free listing. The sales girl was offering me one of their services called "Submit Trackz" which basically means they submit your business to 525 directories with backlinks for £80.00 and then £20.00 per month to manage.

They told me that my listings would all be the premium type i.e. the ones you pay for (more prominent position designed to stand out more etc.) because apparently Scoot have agreed a deal with the directories that they use. This sounded too good to be true so I tested it by asking whether my listing would appear like one of my competitors who had paid for a premium listing on 192.com and was confidently told "YES" I checked again with her and then again and was told it would absolutely be a premium listing not only on 192.com but all the other directories as well. This was the only reason I was signing up and explained that to her. Of course when the listings started to appear they were all the free type which I could have submitted for myself.

Although they did eventually agree to give me my money back they were not in the slightest bit concerned about how this service was sold to me and how one of their sales staff could lie so blatantly to win an order.

I did manage to get my money back but it took nearly three weeks and a lot of messing around phoning being on hold etc.

And now to add insult to injury I have lots of directory listings for my business that have been submitted inaccurately and as they were submitted by scoot I have no editorial control over them, so I am having to call each directory individually to reclaim my business listing before I can resubmit it for myself.

NEVER AGAIN SCOOT - PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS BUNCH OF AMATEURS

"Dont even go there"

Not seen any improvement if traffic over the past 2 years.
When Adam from Scoot called me today for me to renew my contract, and because I said I was putting my money into google ads and was not going to renew my Scoot advert, he rudely and abruptly hung up on me.
I guess becaus wasn't getting his juicey commission and spat his dummy out.
Well im saving £1200 + vat

"Is Scoot any good? Let me sum it up for you"

In one word No! in two word Really Bad!!!
Not good for anything would be the better definition. I've read the reviews and still made an order. Why? Because non of the reviews actually gave me the answer that I was looking for but I'll give it to you now.

I saw many people complain about the price, the customer service, not getting any calls from their listings etc. But believe it or not still didn't gave me enough to avoid the service. Why? Because what I was after is their links for seo and that's the story:

I've had a call from one of their colleagues and after knocking the price down from very high £££ to a reasonable ££ I've been given 5 links from all of their directories to my website which basically suppose to be very good for seo (5 links from top listings sounds like a good deal) well... not at all. Actually, the moment I've had this links my website dropped 3 pages (yes not 3 positions but 3 pages!!) down in google search results.
Removing those listings my page went back up to where it was before.

So if you'd like to pay a lot of £££ for getting no calls from priority listings as people mentioned here before and also your website to drop dramatically in search results that a good option. But if you're looking it to help seo do yourself a favour and simply avoid!

Thank you scoot for making me pay for this mistake! Won't happen again.

"bad mannered staff, broken promises, dodge stats"

took out a yearly plan with scoot, never got any leads, or any calls was meant to be covering a large area and links to local newspaper websites, got a call for renewal i told them the above they said i was on the local newspaper so looked it up i was but looked up one powered by scoot about 12 miles away and wasn't listed on it at all he asked what i was looking up when i was searching the only reason for this would be so he could get that to go live before i had a chance to look on the site, sadly i feel the rudeness of saying what do i expect for what i paid attitude didn't put much trust in me and leaded me to place a review on here. I WILL NEVER US YOU AGAIN....

"NO CALL, NO EMAIL, NO ANSWER....."

So it would appear that no one is available to take my call at the moment because every staff member is on here replying to the shocking reviews! If any of the Scoot staff read this i would really appreciate it if someone could update my listing ASAP as your website is that bad it wont let me submit my changes. Sadly for SEO i have no option but to contact you and change the outdated details.

"Do not trust what they are saying!"

Another Worst experience with this company.
They never tell the truth.
They are just searching for the money I guess.
I wanted to get them stop providing service as it worth paying nothing.
However, they never contact us back even i left several emails even I called them several times.
Recommend being far away from this spammy company.

"Paid Premier site and SEO optimisation"

I paid this company over £500.00 pounds on the promise of a prominent position on the search engines and entry onto major search directories.

After 2 months we have received no enquires from their site and the other work they did I could have done myself for free. I would avoid this company like the plague.

"Too late for me but save your money"

When they are selling you something, 'the world is your oyster'; loads of promises. A few weeks down the road; loads of excuses. Would that we £200 or £600 per annum, their services are NO GOOD. Their advertising doesn't do anything for your business. Maybe they are one of the biggest waste of money around.

"rip off"

Please avoid this company as you can see by their reviews they are only after your money, you will not get anything in return!!!!!!!

"Mis-Selling Website"

They promised a custom made website, I ended up having a cheap standard template I can't even change.
I am trying to cancel everything, they either don't answer the phone or the "system is down".
Strange it never happens when you ring the sales line!

Don't waste your money.
