Black Propeller - Abingdon, Maryland

Arsen A.

I engaged Black Propeller for PPC management, expecting professional service, clear communication, and tangible results, particularly given the critical nature of the holiday sales period (Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Cyber Week, and Christmas). Black Propeller was responsible for creation of the new ad campaigns and optimization of the existing ones. Company was also responsible for the Management, strategy development, creative design, campaign implementation & ongoing optimization of the Google Ads account

It was crucial to prepare everything before Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Cyber week and Christmas sales.

Unfortunately, my experience fell far short of expectations.

Positive Aspects: Their sales team did a good job preparing Audit. The onboarding process was smooth and well-organized.

Despite a detailed discussion of project scope, the results were disappointing. I've signed our agreement and paid $4,000, starting October 18th, yet work officially began on October 31st. The delay significantly impacted my holiday sales preparation.

Communication: Throughout the process, communication was inconsistent. Follow-up emails seeking updates on performance, reports, and progress often went unanswered or delayed.

During a meeting to discuss account performance, my account manager struggled to answer fundamental questions about the campaign's progress and goals. This culminated in an unprofessional and disheartening moment when the manager became visibly emotional, signaling a lack of preparedness and support from their team.

It was evident that Black Propeller placed the responsibility for my account on an inexperienced team member without proper oversight or support. This approach was unprofessional and disrespectful to me as a client.

Despite emphasizing the critical importance of this project for my business, Black Propeller failed in nearly every aspect of execution. Their lack of preparation, poor strategy, and weak team management not only cost me the $4,000 investment but also led to a devastating loss of holiday sales, a crucial revenue period for my business.

Their strategy, team management, and communication did not reflect the level of professionalism I expected. They appeared more focused on onboarding new clients than delivering results or maintaining strong client relationships.

If you’re considering Black Propeller, I strongly recommend looking for a company that prioritizes expertise, customer care, and accountability.

For serious projects, it’s crucial to find a partner who values your business and delivers on their promises.

As the Director of Marketing for Base Camp Leasing I am more than pleased with Black Propeller. My team has turned around our search advertising completely, in a positive way and has also increased our paid social media efforts substantially. I would highly recommend these guys!

I have worked with Black Propeller for a few months now, and I can honestly say that they are one of the best digital marketing agencies I have worked with.

They are constantly coming to us with new ideas and take the time to address any questions or concerns we have with patience and clarity.

We are in a very competitive industry (luxury appliance repair in South Florida) and we rely heavily on Google for new business. We hired Black Propeller to help us get an edge on the competition and they have helped us tremendously with both PPC and SEO.

As a personal injury lawyer for 47 years this is the worst PPC company I have worked with for my Google ads. Their managers had very little experience ,wasted thousands targeting outside my client locations along with the inability to creative productive ads.
While they charged a fixed rate it was 35 % of my spend since they could not get my ads to show at top and when they did show they were a mixture of repetitive phrases as automated .I do not recommend this company to anyone.

Bad results, the idea was to improve our Google ads and we got the opposite, almost 80% reduction of sales that really hurt us; also we got charged almost $9K they charge us three months when we tried to stop. Please look to someone else for your Google ads PPC.
