Digital Marketing Review from Marialuisa Garito
The introduction to the concept was awesome, that's why I got trapped and lost money. After 3 months of working with them, the results are ZERO ROI and ZERO ROAS, plus my Facebook account got hacked and it's still disabled and under investigation. They sell you professionals that then I found these "same professionals" on Upwork for cheaper. So basically you pay a fee to have them outsource these guys that you can find by yourself, and the only reason I did it's because I thought I was backed up
