I have been in business as an arborist for hire for.. Easily the last quarter century. For the past 5-10 years we have been bombarded with google wanting to 'update' our information. They 'guarantee' certain placements on their search engines.
O.k. All this has generated 2-5% in actual tree work jobs.
However it HAS generated in our phone lines being jammed with adverts, our email server being flooded to the point that we had to contact our internet provider for help.
I have talked to folks. Overall? Businessess that are seeking work dont care how many adverts they get.
Established businessess? Dont mess too much with the internet.
My experience is the google listings generate alot of 'price seekers' but not real clients.
