  Services that were paid for were maliciously removed after we cancelled our subscription. We paid for services, and have NOTHING to show for it now, due to *** taking away what we had worked for months to achieve.We contacted *** to inform them of what happened and gave *** the opportunity to correct the situation, of which they did nothing. No further communication has been received. They did not take any responsibility for wiping our company off of the ****** Guarantee results, and making all of our ****** reviews disappear. We are demanding a refund of the monies paid, or we will be turning this case over to the Attorney General of Florida, as well as filing a complaint with the *** with a number of other previous *** customers that experienced a similar situation, upon canceling their subscription agreement with ***. IN ADDITION, *** was negligent in their handling of our account as it relates to ****** Local Services Ad, resulting in multiple charges to our account, for not properly removing us from categories that we had requested to be removed from. WE EITHER NEED THE SERVICE THAT WE PAID FOR TO BE EXACTED, AS IT WAS PRIOR TO CANCELLING OUR MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP, OR ALL MONIES TO BE RETURNED IN FULL.

  Hello! It seems like you have launched a complaint against us over 3 months after our last business interaction-- per our records, it shows that your account with us was closed on December 9th. Reading through your complaint, we can only assume you are having an ongoing issue with your ****** Business Profile many months post cancellation, and would request that you take this up with ****** directly since you have determined you don't want us to be involved in your digital marketing affairs. As a matter of process, we don't touch any accounts or online properties post-cancellation and hand over any and all buildouts to our clients during offboarding. We wish you the best of success and will be here should you wish to reengage us!

  I have been with OMG national for many years.I requested cancelation of their services on deccember 30th they billed me January 17th. I called and asked why; they told me their cancelation policy which *** i signed more than 8 years ago, that states they require 60 days notification.this not fair. First, its been sooo long I was compeletely unaware of their 60 day rule. second, they have done not provideded ANY services ( work) on my account for January I fail to see what ********* Fees are even a consideration given the fact that I have been locked out of my account with them in January.

  Hello,

  All of our Digital Marketing Programs come with a cancellation policy that requires notification 30-days in advance of the the monthly billing date, which covers the offboarding costs and monthly charges from our partners that power the stack associated with your product. This is actually better that the 60-day notification that you cited in your complaint. From the notes I have read, it looks like your formal notification of cancellation occurred on December 31st, meaning that the January 17th charge would be the last charge to your account. If you cancelled at any time before December 17th, please simply provide the proof in writing, and we would be happy to refund your account.

  All the Best,
  **** Early

  I am rejecting this response because:

  i do not accept this reponse from omg.

  first, their policy is listed in their original

  document thatvwas signed more that 5years ago. never revisited since. essentially forgotten 

  
  

  second, once i cancelled my access was immediately cut off.   so what actually

  do for the january fee? they are a service bureau. and imo- did not performa ANY work for my account in January.

  
  

  so what are the January fees actually being charged for?

  Hello,

  Our cancellation policy has been listed for years at **************************************. Given our offboarding requirements with the network of partners that powers our tech stack, we require 30-days of cancellation notice. All our agreements are industry leading month-to-month, but do need that 30-day cancellation notice, which then begins the clock on the final payment. We would like to reiterate the offer that if you feel you cancelled more than 30-days before the final payment in dispute, please furnish this as evidence of the cancellation, and we would be happy to review for a refund. Absent this, the final payment is valid.
  

  Best Wishes,

  I am filing this formal complaint to bring to your attention an issue regarding unauthorized charges made by OMG National Marketing on my account.After subscribing to their service for one month, for which I was charged $199, I contacted OMG National on two separate occasions via phone to cancel my service. Despite these clear requests to cancel, my account was subsequently charged an additional $399 for another month of service that I did not authorize.During the initial month, OMG National provided me with a ****** card containing a QR code linked to my ****** review page, but I have not received or used any further services beyond that first month. Moreover, I was explicitly assured by OMG National that I would receive either a phone call or an email before any additional charges were made. I did not receive any such communication, and the $399 charge was applied to my account, which I believe to be fraudulent.When I disputed the charge with my credit card company, OMG National responded by claiming that I had agreed to the payment, even though I had made it clear that I had requested to cancel the service and received assurances that no further charges would be applied.I have since confirmed my cancellation via email to OMG National to prevent any future unauthorized charges. However, I am still seeking a refund for the $399 charge and am asking for the Better Business Bureau's assistance in resolving this matter.I hope the BBB can help ensure that OMG National adheres to fair business practices and that their handling of cancellations and billing issues is properly addressed.Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution.

  ****, thank you for your feedback regarding your experience. In looking at the notes on your account, you requested to cancel on August 19th, citing that you could not afford the product because it was not performing in a way that merited the *** you required. Per the agreement you signed on July 9th, you can cancel at any time with 30-day notice. Given that you requested to cancel on 08/19, we were entitled to a final billing on 09/09; however, we waived this as a one-time courtesy and did not send the account to collections. I have attached the agreement that you signed-- should the chronology of events be different, please provide proof and I would be happy to take a look at the account. All said, the 30-day, month-to-month cancellation policy would ultimately have had the 08/09 payment due anyway. This payment covers all our third-party costs associated with setting up and maintaining your account, and one-month notice is above industry standard, so given that we did not hold you to the September payment, I see no reason a refund is due.

  OMG National lacks honesty, does not conduct business ethically and has no disclosure of website hosting charges being "free for 12 months" nor disclose the $600 fee for website hosting until it is due. OMG National was contacted regarding cancellation of services and 6 months later, my company was billed $600 for hosting our website. Upon engaging in the onboarding sales call, and signing their agreement of services, there is no mention of website hosting; no mention of "powerpage" or that hosting of the website is billed at an annual rate. The invoice is sent only. When reaching out to their client services manager and requesting a copy of the agreement to where it is disclosed there is a website hosting fee not included in all other ************************************ fees, the response was "there is no specific agreement for the Hosting as it was included Powerpage that you had signed up for along with your monthly marketing product. With that said, you were sent numerous emails by my colleague ***** in anticipation of your renewal fee;" followed by: "My apologies if there was any misunderstanding regarding the terms for the website Hosting;" I would like the disclosure of the fee for ongoing website hosting services be clear and honest up front upon their sales calls. This is deceitful business practices and need to be resolved. I requested OMG National's legal department contact information with no response at this time.

  Hello ****/****,
  
  It looks like you signed up on April 17th, 2023 for our month-to-month ****** Business Pro Marketing Program, and were on the program for six months. A week into the program, our Onboarding team identified a weakness in your online presence, specifically your website, and we went to work on a free PowerPage in order to help your Marketing Program be successful. Additionally, you were given a free year of hosting since you were an active Marketing user. Unfortunately, you decided to terminate your program six months in, yet we honored the one year of free hosting from the time we launched the website. You mention that there is no reference to a hosting charge-- frankly, there is no mention of a Free PowerPage either (Agreement); yet we included the production of one in good-will to the spirit of our partnership, one that you did not wish to continue.
  
  Fast forward to June of 2024, and the website hosting became due. We sent you notice (Invoice) on May 14th, 2024, and you opened the email six times between then and May 18th, 2024. Your bill became due, on June 1st, we contacted you many times throughout the month of June to try to rectify the issue, but despite the many calls and emails in June and beginning of July, we didn't get anywhere in terms of a response, and your website was ultimately suspended on July 8th for delinquency. Based on the amount of times the emails were opened, it looks like the issue was being ignored.
  
  While we are by no means going to go backwards and charge you for the production of a website that was done in good faith ahead of you cancelling, any website hosting account anywhere carries a monthly fee. Since we are not a bare-metal host, but a marketing agency, ours is $60/month or $600 if paid annually, and we include maintenance and an allotment of annually hourly revisions you will not find at many other providers in the marketplace. We would be happy to move forward with a relationship, but hosting is not free-- we are charged for it, and have bundled in all costs and support into a monthly charge.
  
  Respectfully,
  **************

  I worked with them from February 2024 - May 2024. I paid $398 setup plus $199 each month. My nightmare started with being assigned to *****************************, who from the very beginning seemed unorganized. But again, I know my standards are high but again I didn't complain. I had an intake call with ********, a subsequent call where everything that was supposed to be done was wrong or not done. Then crickets, I never heard from her again. I called my salesperson, and he told me that ******** was no longer with the company. They got me set up with ***** and I had high hopes with him, but he was very friendly and seemed eager to fix was ******** messed up. We spoke a few times and he worked with my busy schedule, and I was very appreciative. Then crickets again. At this point I was done. I sent an email, received a call from ****. **** wasn't the friendliest, but he listened to my grievances and tried to keep me as a customer. I explained that I paid a $398.00 setup fee, and monthly payments of $198 for 4 months ($1,190) and received two ******** post which were free with the plan I selected. Nothing!!! they took the money and didn't perform. I called my CC company and disputed 2 months of the payments. I called **** and told him I disputed the payments and he said he would call someone and call me back. It's been at least three weeks, if not more, and I have never heard back from him. They responded to my dispute with their alleged proof, whatever that is... I was scammed and want my money back. I don't care about the set-up fee because they did have to set it up but I want my monthly payments back.

  Hello **** In reviewing your account, it looks like you admittedly did get a very, very unfortunate set of ************** folks who are no longer with the company (incidentally, the only two in the past year.) While there were clearly lapses in communication of the work that was being completed, our ********************** did indeed create your website copy and design the site. While your complaint accurately depicts the ************ issues, those posts were not included "for free" in your package-- we actually waived any payment associated with the Local Marketing Essentials BECAUSE of your complaint, so given that you didn't pay anything for that program, it doesn't have a ton of relevance in the consideration of what you paid for your website program, which seems to be what you are looking for a resolution on. There are ample notes outlining work that was completed on your website from January, February, March, April, and May, so refunding those payments in the face of work being completed is not an option. In looking at the notes on the account pre-cancellation, **** waived your final payment that would have been due 05/29 given that you no longer wanted to continue. This again, was done as a courtesy for your expressed frustration and represents us going above and beyond in allowing you to cancel without additional charges even thought work was completed on our end. Should you like your buildout backup, the copy, or any of the notes, we would be happy to provide those to you. We are sorry it wasn't a good fit, and while we recognize that there were issues on our end, we also expect that you will see that months of work for $597 is ******* quid pro quo. We wish you had given us another chance to get you with an A-list ************** representative so that this could have been a win/win instead of a lose/lose for our organizations.

  *****,

  Your Marketing Agreement comes with a 30-day cancellation notice requirement. I have attached the agreement and would like to point out your attention to: *Client may cancel at any time with a 30-Day notice. With your formal cancellation notice on 10/11, this meant that your final payment was due 11/09. If you have evidence of an earlier notice, please provide it and we will waive the dispute mitigation and collection activities that can negatively impact your financial record.

  Here is the email in September where I asked to cancel and not be charged. Additionally, while OMG is happy to charge me for a full month over what they allegedly claim is shy of two days they have not provided any service for the month they've charged for.  ***************************** is supposed to be the representative and he has not returned my calls.  My biggest regret is not having read the prior BBB complaints, and poor online reviews.  But, I did ask in September for this to be cancelled with no additional charges.

  *****,

  Attached is your correspondence with ****** where you clearly outlined that you "decided to give us another shot" and finally cancelled on October 11th, as I previously stated. While I would normally provide a lot more explanation on any misunderstanding of subjectivity / communication issues, it is rather black and white that you decided to continue, then given your dissatisfaction, are now claiming that you cancelled earlier than your final cancellation request on October 11th.

  Please see attached both the contract requiring payment in advance for services as well as emails starting in June voicing concerns on the results.  While OMG wants to state they feel they should charge a full month payment due to cancellation being given 2 days shy of the 30 day mark * not true, emails were sent in September) they want you can clearly see that cancellation was asked for in September.  What is most concerning is that OMG charged for an entire month but has failed to provide any service for the month they charged.  ***************************** has not returned any calls and OMG took it upon themselves to turn off our ads that were already running before OMG was employed without any advance notice.  It is disturbing to think a company would not only fail to cancel when  it is requested, that said company would charge and then not only fail to provide the service they are being paid for but also try to damage the company for not wanting to use their services.  In no way should OMG taken a payment when they were told not to, and then take a payment and not only provide a service but try to damage the business by turning off ads * without any communication or directive to do so) that were already in place before OMG began working with the company.

  HI, I do not feel this should be closed.  My suggestion for a resolution is that I only pay for 2 days for the month.  While OMG states I was short 2 days of the cancellation.  I do not agree that OMG should charge me when I did state in September I would only try one more month and do not feel OMG should charge for an entire month but not provide any service for the charge. OMG's behavior has been clear they have no intention to earn the money they are taking through the non returned phone calls and also through OMG's action of turning off our ad source without any advance notice.

  OMG Sales representative attempting to close the order promised me 4-5 new orders if I used their services. I told him I would do it if he put his money where his mouth is and refund the $199 I paid them for the first month if I got less that half that amount. They were hired to manage my Social Posts on ******** and Instagram. Their Post approval system through their portal had a glitch that they told me they knew about. That caused my post approval to sit a week and a half until I called them to ask what was going on. Then they said ******** glitched so they lost their ability to manage my Social platforms. This took another 2 weeks to fix. I saw on the Portal that I had the second month charge of $299 pending so I asked them about the refund promise if I did not get at least 2 orders. I was told that their sales guy should not have promised it. I was told that the conversation was recorded when I placed the order so I told them to go play back the recording and they can hear the promise of refund. They said they would not do it but they would waive the 30 day cancellation requirement and not charge me for the second month. I cancelled because they did not make a single post to my social media. After I cancelled, they finally posted after 30 days one post the same afternoon I cancelled. Interesting. I did sign a boiler plate form they said needed signed to get started. There is a small print 30 day cancellation requirement. But since this written requirement was in conflict with the verbal recorded promise of refund if less than 2 orders were received made by their salesperson, then it couldn't apply in this case. Seeking total cancellation of contract and $199 verbally recorded refund promise if they do not perform. They did not fulfill their commitment of 2 posts per month having posted just one post after the month was up and only after I cancelled the order.

  ******, thank you for your feedback and the opportunity to address several aspects of your experience. All of our Digital Marketing Programs carry an industry leading 30-day cancellation policy, effectively allowing you to cancel at any point with one more payment due that covers licensing and the offboarding of your account. Many of our competitors have 3-month, 6-month, 12-month agreements, but we feel that our service and the results that we provide speak for themselves. We are attaching your agreement, which clearly shows the cancellation policy, which is not "in small letters", but rather is clearly right in the middle of the agreement, frankly in a bigger font that the majority of the rest of the text in the agreement.

  There was indeed an access issue associated with your account, which unfortunately affected a handful of new accounts and was wholly on ******** Support to fix. While our ************ team did produce all the posts for your first 6 weeks of your campaign, the posts were not posted due to access info associated with the ******** Business Manager. This has since been resolved, and is why our platform automatically started posted the scheduled posts. I have included all of the posts that were written for you of proof of work on your account-- we understand that the Marketing industry is filled with nefarious players and to that end, you may have been skeptical of us, but there is no reason for us to write the posts after the fact. We were ******* with you in communicating an issue and requesting patience. Instead of working with us as we untangled the issue with ******** Support, you cancelled, and given the situation, we waived the final payment in good faith.

  While we do commit to the work involved in all of our Digital Marketing Programs, results are never guaranteed. We use best practices to support solid marketing objectives with weekly and monthly iterative tweaks to get results that make your ROI well worth the spend. That said, you do not pay us per sale, you are paying us for our work on a monthly basis. It seems that between the ******** issue and some natural skepticism, the relationship never got off the ground, but given the provided work we have done on the account, a refund is not warranted in this case. As mentioned here and by your own evidentiary explanation, we were able to fix the ******** issues, and would welcome an opportunity to start fresh on your account so you can see that we do indeed deliver the work, in this case ************ Posts, that are part of the program.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  Their Sales person agreed to refund 100% of my money if their ad campaign did not produce at least 2 orders. They informed me that the call where this agreement was made was on a recorded line. So they have this info. My entire willingness to engage with them was built around the saleperson agreement to refund. After this statement was made, I was sent a boilerplate agreement where the cancellation terms were set. However, based on the agreement I had with the Sales person prior, I believed this would not apply in my situation. This can all be resolved very quickly if the Management would just review the phone conversation where I agreed to engage. For some bizarre reason, they want to damage their reputation over $199 where they admitted they posted 0 posts in the time period disputed.

  We monitor our calls in real time for training purposes, but that is the extent of what we have related to the original call. That said, it is not relevant to the signed Marketing Service Agreement that we have already attached. We sign-up hundreds of clients a month, and occasionally they hear what they want, which is why we have a clear agreement with the cancellation terms on the agreement. We have taken great care in communicating the 30-day cancellation policy, and while you may think this is a boilerplate agreement, it is in fact the agreement that was signed as part of our business engagement.

  Aside from this very clear black / white agreement signing, you will find that no agency in the marketing industry guarantees sales because of the subjectiveness of what happens after the lead handoff. The agreement we were hired for does not make a single mention of any guarantees, and we must reiterate that you paid us to do work, and we did do work (which was already shared.) Furthermore, we went above and beyond in letting you out of the 30-day final payment given the aforementioned ******** issues. As far as we are concerned, this matter is closed.

  How Convenient. The call they said was taped doesn't exist. This company is as dishonest as they come. I'm done. They can keep my $199. I will continue to let others know my experience with them. 
  
  Sincerely,

  I am disappointed but not surprised to see an influx of recent complaints regarding OMG National Marketing Agency. My experience was pretty bad from day 1, but given the nature of what I was trying to accomplish, I gave it a few months before pulling the plug. The handling of my account was a joke. More issues than I have characters to write about, but the last one was a problem that I was assured could and would be fixed relatively easily. Weeks later, I followed up as the problem still persisted. I received zero response for days. In fact, the quickest response time I ever received from any form of contact was following the email providing notice to cancel my services. I asked for an exception to the 30 day notice rule and that they not charge me for the month of April given the poor handling of my account, but like clock work, the charge came through. I even caught a strange random charge on there that thankfully they took off once I called them out on it (reading others' responses, this appears to have been lucky on my part). The only persistence I saw from this company was trying to get me on the phone to undoubtedly try to talk me out of canceling, but I had already written out my grievances via email and cc'ed my rep and her boss so avoided that dog and pony show. They even tried to tell me my notice wasn't sufficient because I had to send it to a specific email address to count. Luckily, my rep responded she would submit my request , so that was nipped in the bud. All in all, I get the impression that this is an inexperienced company ran by inexperienced nonprofessionals. Even their written responses to the complaints on here are defensive, borderline rude and standoffish, and they always an excuse for everything! Not cool. And not professional! Trying to launch a small business is expensive enough. Shame on these kids for taking people's hard earned and hard to come by cash and doing nothing with it but cause more stress.

  ******, thank you for your feedback and opportunity to respond. First and foremost, we have not had an influx of complaints; by the math, we actually have less than ****% of our client base ever issue a complaint, which is why we aggressively respond with the facts outlining an often isolated situation. You will find that our complaint rate is much lower than many household names in Marketing (for reference, give a gander at GoDaddy's BBB rating and complaints.) We have thousands of active clients and while we have a process built out to give every client a customized experience, there is no denying that extenuating circumstances can cause some friction. 

  While most of your outlined issues are accurate during initial stage of your account (and were attributed to a Account Manager who was terminated due to experiences like yours), they are also one-sided and do not paint an accurate picture of your entire experience, primarily pertaining to the lack of response and communication on your part past the initial stage. It is easy to see that you became frustrated in the early stage, but when we rectified the situation, the personnel, and gave you escalated access to management, you did not respond, leading to the ultimate failure of your campaign. Unfortunately, your overall impression is wrong, as we have been in business for over three decades with thousands of ongoing campaigns actively involving millions of dollars in spend. While our youngest employee is 23, we don't employ any "kids", and certainly run a world-class organization. We are sorry for your initial experience, but don't think it merits the gross hyperbole that has lead to your complaint, as much of the later portion of your description can be chalked up to a self-fulfilling prophecy. We do wish your the best of luck in your future endeavors!

  They are incorrectly accusing me of a lack of responsiveness, when this exactly what my complaint is about them.

  Yes, in the response of your complaint, we admit initial issues, and then are absolutely saying you were unresponsive. If you would like, we could provide a thorough account of all communication efforts on our behalf-- not that it would accomplish anything as we have already parted ways!

  I had been using OMG National for digital marketing services for several years. I learned that I was being charged an annual fee for a product that I had never signed up for. When I brought it to their attention, they said that the contract was signed for another company that I had referred to them. That company had used their services for two years and canceled. Somehow OMG had put the contract in the name of my business and kept charging me for the services that the other business had canceled. They refused to correct it and refused to refund my money claiming that they provided services despite the fact that the services required our company to have land line phones and we have never had anything other than cell phones for all employees.

  ****, we apologize for the miscommunication, but a $59 credit was already applied to your next bill on 03/27-- that credit was applied 2 days ago, before you even submitted this unnecessary complaint.

  I am asking to also be refunded charges for 2021 and 2022 since those were also billed to our company erroneously.  Thank you!

  ****, you weren't charged for any OH Fees in 2021 or 2022, so there is nothing for us to refund.
