This company is so fraudulent and evil. In Dec 2019 Garrett Fields kept calling to try to get me to sign up to use their service for my one rental property. When I finally agreed to try it no risk offer, I gave him my credit card number and my bank flagged the company has suspicious immediately and declined their charge. I then checked here on BBB.org to find all the reviews of what a scam company they are AND that they don't have a license as of 2018. I then (within the hour) told them I changed my mind and would not be doing business with them. I told them not to attempt to recharge my card. A week later they tried to recharge my card and it went through. Chase Bank said it was an error on their part and to dispute it. I did, and Advantage Media Partners accepted the terms of the dispute. Then I got an email from Garrett Fields complaining that I disputed the charge after they were told not to try again to charge my card. They did zero work for me in the 1 hour time frame from when I accepted their no risk offer of working with them to changing my mind after finding out they weren't licensed and had so many people claiming fraud from them. Months later I get a call from a collection agency saying they sent me to collections (even though they accepted the terms of the Credit Card company's dispute and that Chase returned my money.) They sent me no email, no mail, no communication whatsoever to indicated they would then be sending me to a collection agency for $700 for no work that was done. It is illegal to not send notification of an attempt to collect money before sending someone to a collection agency. These people are pure evil!July 13, 2020

Overall Experience: I originally was just going to cancel the service, but then the sales rep was pretty rude in me doing so, therefore I figured I'd write this review. I believe the general idea of the program would work if the sales rep, up front, better explained exactly how it worked and didn't try to sell me ALL their products at once. I had an original start date they blew, had someone else from the company reached out thereafter the fact and didn't explain much about the service, was told how many organic hits we got (despite no leads) than got a rather rude follow up email in ALL CAPS from the sales rep insulting my intelligence/closing ratios (apparently they have a CRM they didn't show me how to use). Again, not a knock on the company I'm sure it was just the lazy rep I was working with. I despise posting these, but it's needed for the company to get better on the onboarding.

Overall Experience: I was telemarketed by AMP to create a web site and marketing service to sell land on our ranch in Colorado. I was told my present web site was inadequate and with their web site creation and Google marketing I would get much better results than I was getting with Lands of America. I bought it. After 1 month of developing the web site and 3 months of advertising I received ZERO INQUIRIES. Not one single inquiry in 3 months. This is just another SCAM business out there taking advantage of an older generation. Please do not do business with them. You will loose your money and your time. So, I cancelled. I was promised I could keep the web site I helped them create. This was also a lie. I couldn't keep it without their hosting. The entire experience was criminal.

Overall Experience: I enrolled into the SEO program with Chris Sanders to get my website to rank organically. The communication between him and is great, he made it to where I can understand everything that SEO is. Im not all that savy with computers but the way he explained it I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING. After a couple of months I was ranked on Google Organically! 3 Years I've been "trying" with other companies or individuals and Advantage Media Partners did it! I encourage you to reach out if you are struggling with website rankings

Overall Experience: Sounded different enough to give them a chance but ended up just like every other Google Adwords "partner" that really has nothing to offer that I couldn't do myself. Our biggest issue is out-of-market ads that generate calls we (a TOWING) business could never compete in and AMP assured us they could get that under control... they FAILED and it still cost me $150. Just do it yourself and you only have you to blame AND you're in complete control of you budget!

Overall Experience: I purchased there service for Advertising on Google, They threw in a website at no cost which honestly was pretty good. The website took about 2 weeks to be built and when completed the ads went live to the new website. I received calls and converted some into business. This works

Overall Experience: I'll make it concise. Wanted to charge me $500/month within a matter of 5 mins. I wanted more explanation as it didn't give me enough information for me to come to a decision. I am asking for an email and I would look into their site and if I could call back when I think I got all the info that I need. Instead he just annoyingly asked what's stopping me? when I answered I didn't know what I am signing up for besides telling me this is to get more clicks and advertisement for my name, He just hung up on me. Yup! very professional. Thank you

Overall Experience: A total scam. They promised to put us on the first page of a google search result in my area but never delivered. I can't find my company on google after two weeks of signing up and I am pissed. I was fooled and now I am out of my hard earned $360. Please go through Google directly if you need to advertise.

Overall Experience: I started with AMP from a call to help my business, they offered to put me on the first page of google on advertising. I gave it a shot considering all my doubts and I've had no issues. I started into their SEO program with Chris and after 3 months of doing the SEO program I got to Page 1... PAGE 1. FINALLY! Thanks AMP
