My experience has been nothing but amazing. Don’t listen to the troll reviews. I could almost guarantee its people that weren’t patient enough, or don’t know how to run their own business! I hope this review finds people well. It has helped me skyrocket at my business and the best way possible!

I came into Creators Collective/Leadgentic with high hopes. I got sold the dream, was willing to pay the premium, and got onboarded.

Started off a little rocky with slow onboarding and high lead cost, but things started to improve. Got down to $30-35 on google ads. Meh. Not great. It was up and down. Some weeks we would have lead costs in the 40s, other times mid 30s. BUT to their credit, overall their google search campaign throughout the entire time i used them ended in an average CPL of 31.03, which still kinda sucks for the margins of my service, but to their credit there was some lower lead costs in there to balance it back down to that number overall.

But Meta? Dear God. Don't get me started on Meta. It was an absolute trainwreck. Lead costs were consistently 50, 70, 40, and over 100 dollars. 100 DOLLARS FOR A LEAD? For reference, the overall CPL for meta on the entire ad account for the time I used them was $50.45. Not good.

Here's the kicker.

I was the main account manager, not them. I was always keeping tabs on all of my ads and asking questions, not them. I was asking if we could split test different creative, not them. I was the one cancelling the 40, 50, 70, and 100 dollar ads, not them.

This made me so upset.

Dream Outcome: "For 1700 dollars a month we will manage all of your ads, give sales feedback, and double your revenue."

Reality: "We are going to waste lots of time and mishandle tens of thousands of dollars in ad spend."

Now I'm a reasonable guy. Please don't think I'm going all Karen over here. This is just my plea to anyone who may be considering using their service, especially for auto glass.

The auto glass industry by nature is low ticket high volume. Our company's price is on the higher end of the spectrum, like all good and reputable companies are. To give clear numbers, our typical gross profit on a standard windshield or glass replacement is 275, we flat rate labor over the cost of glass.

Let's breakdown the 275 we're working with.

It costs us about 100 bucks to do a job. This pays for tech to knock out the job, including gas, insurance, hourly, and job materials.

Now we're at 175. Still not bad. But lets factor in customer acquisition, at CC's best lead cost, which was about 30 bucks. At a 25% close rate, which is an average close rate given the type of customer you get on a google ad response for a service like this, we would have an acquisition cost of $120.

Now we're left with 55 bucks to run the business. Ouch.

Let's calculate what that looks like at a $50 lead cost shall we? Simple math. now we're at $200 customer acquisition with a $175 margin after direct job costs. What are we left with? -$25

Here's the problem.

We have negative money.

So we're losing money just to do the jobs.

And this was the problem.

Other jobs with more margin with calibrations we were able to make money on, but these jobs we were just spinning our wheels.

They blamed me for not being able to close enough of the jobs, saying that's why I was losing money. I had a long conversation with them, who claimed we missed 40% of calls, which on record we missed 4, but truly we only missed 1, which we called back immediately (within seconds) afterwards.

How do I know for sure my team called them back within seconds? I downloaded my T Mobile Call history to make sure. Because when they told me that I said I would look into it and I did. And they were full of crap just like I knew they were.

I know we weren't mistreating our leads. By the way, the other 3 missed calls on record were 1. A repeat call after we booked the job 2. Called at 9:47 pm which we returned the following morning 3. Someone who called but only wanted to communicate through text.

What my study also showed me was 9 other spam calls that i paid $30+ for which further increases my actual CPL, because they don't have fraud blockers.

Oh yeah, and let's not forget, in addition to high lead costs, we're paying them $1,700/mo

So I bring my findings to them and they ignore me.

Didn't care. Just wanted to charge me another monthly fee to cancel, which at the end of the day, is fair. Why? Because i signed a contract and agreed to the terms. I was just hoping for some compassion given the evidence I brought him but as he said, "a contract is a contract." Which is true.

Which sucks, but hey, I looked at it this way, either I pay them $1700 to get them out of my business, or I let them keep ruining everything.

I promise I'm not being dramatic.

When you're watching your business burn right before your eyes and you have 2 months with NEGATIVE INCOME instead of positive income, you know there's a huge problem.

So here it is, my long awaited review.

I used them from mid March to the end of June, and ended my 6 month contract early so that I could cut my losses and get away from them.

I was going to post photos of my ad account but it appears i can't on this page.

Hire at your own risk ;)

Warning: Do Not Use This Ad Agency

I’ve been working with this company for almost a year. Things started off ok, but after about six months, everything went downhill. They promised to work for free if they couldn’t meet certain goals — but that never happened.

I ended up losing thousands of dollars, and I want to make sure others don’t make the same mistake. There were countless errors, poor communication, and no accountability when things went wrong.

This company preys on small businesses because they think they can take advantage of them. Please be cautious and don’t fall into their trap.

Didn’t even use them and there sending me harassing emails this place is a big scam ever use them stay far away

After my first conversation with Leadgentic I knew I wanted to use their service. It took me some time to finally pull the trigger, but I'm so glad I did. It has helped me grow my business significantly faster than I would have been able to do it alone.

These guys were amazing and really helped us scale the marketing side of our business in a shorter period time that I thought. Their professional and timely with their work would highly recommend for a business struggling to get people through the door

I run Deluxe Detailing LLC in Vail Colorado. I’m a Co-owner in this business and we’ve been working with these guys for the past few months. Working with them was honestly NOT what i expected. They’re GREAT! Ever since working with them my life has been

- wake up, pray, gym, 2-3hrs detailing MAX, working on computer calling leads rest of day from home booking 3-6 leads per day at $897+✅

it’s a life i have full control of and full of quality.

i used to live like this🗑️👎

-wake up, gym, eat, detail from 8am-5pm, call leads in between work, work on building TRASH lead funnels on facebook and insta, book maybe 2 good leads at $350. Until 9pm. My quality of life was genuinely shit due to always focusing on JUST the marketing side. And i was completely garbage at it as well.

These guys GENUINELY took a weight off my shoulders that allow me to see the other pillars my business needed my focus on. Sales, Cresting SOPs, hiring, MORE SALES. I feel like a true business owner now. We got our first employee thanks to these guys. Sky is the limit. 10/10 recommend.

cc's marketing let us open 4 new stores since 2022. each one got busy faster than the last. they handled all the local marketing so i could focus on operations. worth every penny for real

our revenue was stuck around 30k for like 2 years. started with CC in January and hit 78k last month!! their ads actually work and they don't waste $ on stuff that doesn't bring in sales

One of the best choices we made as a company . Made our lives so easy in regards to making content , running ads and communicating with leads. 100% recommend to anyone who’s is looking to grow. Gotta pay to play 💪🏻

2.5 months in and loving it. Very transparent in what the expectations are on both ends. We did take a chance, but it was worth it, highly recommended if you want to take your marketing to the next level.

once again we have been scammed. the guy who set up the reocurring payment for ad service randomly disappeared and did not communicate. its been 2-3 months of service and as a local company most if not all were out of state leads. worst experience ever and quality of customer service is horrible. take your chances somewhere else

Very impressed by the whole team at Creators Collective. Have seen our number of leads almost double in the past few months. Total revenue month to month is way up as well. We always felt like we were just on the verge of getting to the next level with our business but after trying other marketing companys we ended up always wondering if the dollar amount spent was really getting a return. Creators Collective has proven they are worth the investment. It's scary putting money out there and trusting someone else to deliver sometimes but after being hesitant the first few months we are now confident that it was the right decision and will continue to trust the relationship we have been building. This company isn't just here to take your money. They want long lasting customers and they want to grow along side you. Give these guys a chance and it'll be a great business decision.

We have been working with Creators Collective for the past 3 months and have had some really great traction building our business on META platforms. There was some small stuff that needed to be corrected at the get go of our relationship, but I will say that's nothing compared to the MAJOR positive outcome we have had. 3 months in a row working with them has been the best revenue months of 2024. If you want a team that has your back on growing your marketing and getting you opportunity to grow, don't look any further than Creators Collective. Can't wait to hit that double revenue benchmark we set out to do from the beginning.

Hit on their promise. Thorough team, constantly involved in the process and providing what they, are in fact offering. Helped grow my business, would recommend to others

Not good trust me, too good to be true, they over promise to get you in, then fumble the job, they truly are out to waste your time and a lot of your money! Would not recommend not even to my worst enemy!

What an amazing experience! It took us around four months to notice a drastic change in our business; we went from $25k to $60k. We were able to rank higher and draw in more clients because of their SEO knowledge. They even put in free labor till we accomplished our goal.

Excellent campaigns, great support, and transparency. This group exemplifies professionalism.

The team redid our website, helped with seo, language and marketing and brought our company to the next level and we certainly have profited from this partnership, highly recommend!
