Hibu Improved Our Online Presence

Reviewed on 11/01/2024

Pros

Hibu's "Listings Management" tool allows me to easily update my company contact info, hours of operation and important information with a few clicks and that seamlessly updates all over the internet (google, yelp, random sites).

Real time review notifications are also extremely helpful. I no longer have to physically monitor the internet searching for company reviews. When a guest posts a review I immediately receive an email and text so that I can respond in real time.

Cons

I'm pleased with 100% of the functions of Hibu that my business uses.

Response from Hibu

Thank you! So glad to hear that you're happy with our service! We look forward to continuing to meet your business’ needs.

Hibu Review

Reviewed on 09/10/2024

Pros

Our sales Rep. [sensitive content hidden] is amazing and has gone above and beyond with the challenges we've experienced from the beginning of the process up until now.

Cons

Certain departments within Hibu have gone rogue without fully understanding the business they're trying to represent. These departments have their own rules to follow and is not clearly listed within the contract.

Response from Hibu

Thanks so much! We love hearing from our clients.

It is almost hard to descibe in words how bad my experience with Hibu has been. They do not follow through with promises, they don't know what they're doing, although they will claim they're "experts" in marketing. I wasted so much of my hard-earned money on their gimics. To top it all off, when I called to cancel my services, they said I didn't give them enough notice and charged me for another month. I highly recommend you choose ANYONE but this poor excuse for a company.

Pros

Our service from the rep we initially signed up with, briefly

Cons

marketing strategy, claims they were experts in my field, constantly asking to spend more money

ZERO ROI AFTER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FIRST TWO MONTHS

Reviewed on 09/01/2025

Pros

THE SALES REP AT FIRST UNTIL THEY COULDN'T PRODUCE WHAT THEY PROMISED ME

Cons

company absolutely sucks. They promised us some kind of return on our investment with them within the first month. We have not received one lead. They wasted about 8 hour of my time setting up the same website i had before and not one lead came in and took $2,000.00 of my hard earned money. Now they want me to pay for another month and I said no and are sending me to collections. COMPANY SUCKS!

My experience with Hibu has been superb. I am not tech savvy at all, but they have made our business pop with it's online presence, and we are constantly getting compliments. The price is extremely affordable for our small business.

Pros

Hibu fixed my website problems. The cost was very affordable. They have our company listed very high in visability and reviews. I've always had great customer support. Since our business reviews, website and internet accessibility is incredibly important to businesses today I highly recommend them. I had another company prior to and had a very hard time with them. Once I switched to Hibu I've never regretted a dollar spent! We get compliments on our online presence constantly from our customers!
