Total scam of a company. As a new business, we tried them out and they have lied and produced no business. Even their reports show they are failing us. We upgraded and werent told that you can downgrade and that were apparently under contract. Weve been paying them weekly and now theyre sending us to collections. They have also high jacked our ****** business page as well as ******** page. We are desperate to get as far away from them as possible. Please someone help us!

HIBU is the worst marketing company I have ever hired. They have people that can't spell or use proper grammar to build your ads. When I tried to cancel after my contract they ended up re-billing me 6 months later. The 6 months I was with them, their ads never gave me a single client. Not worth your money!
Business response:
We have attempted to reach you but have not received a reply. You had agreed to a pause on your Display and Social ads and had agreed on the date the ads would resume. The ads resumed as you had agreed. The ads are working as they shuld be and changes can be requested at anytime. If you have additional questions please contact us at ************. Thank you.
Hibu is unequivocally the worst marketing company for many reasons. Firstly, DO NOT HIRE THEM, you will regret it. Secondly, do not hire them. They do not understand marketing. They are a sales team that subs all of the work to VA's in different parts of the world. The sales team we had (David Miller, Bob Chamberlain, and Donald Bergman) are incredibly dishonest and do not understand the product that they are selling. Their fix to everything was spend another $2500-$5000. They can't answer any questions about marketing, it w... read more

DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT. They get you to sign and make you jump through hoops to get out of it. I own beauty salon and supply business. I wanted them to promote one location and help get me new stylists. I should have know from the beginning there was an issue when they did the website for the wrong location. They have highjacked my phone numbers and now clients call the wrong location. They are basically just sending me recordings of my existing customers phone calls. When I listen to them some customers seem annoyed because... read more

Thank you for allowing us the time to research your comments. We have reached out several times and have not heard back from you. The Tracking number has been moved from the ******** location to the ****** location as requested during your consultation. Credit has been issued to your account for this error. Even though the tracking number was placed on the incorrect location all calls to all locations were directed to the correct locations. In the last 30 days you have received over 100 calls. I do not show that you have cal... read more
We’ve been stuck in a 6 month contract. Paid over $10K and got totally scammed!!! They didn’t even have our right phone number listed for our listing. We didn’t get any phone calls, so we looked up our ad and clicked on the number and it was wrong!! Called and confronted Hibu and they told us there was nothing they can do. Been trying to cancel after contract was up and already got charged an extra month. Hopefully we can get this off soon cause it’s charging us $1350 a month for nothing. Just looked up their business and fo... read more
Buyer, PLEASE beware. HIBU is a scam company. They charge thousands of dollars for absolutely nothing. They produce no leads, they are incompetent. They have ads out there with misspellings, incorrect punctuation, and product description that doesn't match the product. They put no thought or creativity into ads. They use a standard template that a child could use. I give it to the sales guys, they could sell ice in a snowstorm, but that is the only thing they sell- a dream. It has been a nightmare working with this company. ... read more
Worst Decision Ever … Summary: Terrible/No Results, Tricked into contract extension … Agreed to 6 months and around $1,000 per month. After about a month, I was very unhappy with the results. My manger said we could change things around and that it would NOT increase my monthly spend / contract timeline. 6 months go by, and I get an email about months 7 and 8. I immediately call my manger, and she says that it’s a mistake, not an issue, and that she would handle it… Weeks later, I receive my billing info for months 7 and 8, ... read more

Hibu Cold called us in March of 2022 for seo and online marketing. After 6 months of working with them for SEO they could not generate one phone call or online lead form so we cancelled with them. Upon cancellation they told us we could not cancel our online foundations platform which they force you to buy in order to "view" your lead result that they generate. We told them in September when we cancelled our seo contract that once the 12 month contract is up we want to cancel the foundations contract. We just learned that th... read more

This company is a scam. I have been in business since 2001 and just signed up with hibu in may 2023. I signed up with the promise of generating more leads and business. Hibu proceeded to change the phone numbers on several company sites like face book and my website. I got a couple calls from previous customers I had done business with years before I signed on with hibu and hibu took credit of the calls. also, I personally sent out several review links from google and BBB to previous customers and got 28 reviews all of which... read more
