Terrible Experience with DRIVE SOCIAL MEDIA - Unjustly Withheld $2,250 Deposit I am extremely disappointed with DRIVE SOCIAL MEDIA and feel compelled to warn others about their unethical practices. On April 7, 2025, they charged our business $2,250 for a marketing campaign, but after just one meeting the next day, we discovered major red flags: - No Privacy Protection - They couldn't guarantee the security of our sensitive business data. - Unapproved Recordings - They insisted on recording discussions without our clear consent. Due to these unresolved concerns, we canceled within days of signing. Despite our prompt request, our sales rep delayed processing the cancellation for days. When they finally responded, they falsely claimed "significant work" had been done--a complete lie. No services were ever performed: **No strategy** was developed. **No content or campaigns** were created. **No access** was given to our accounts. **No deliverables** were provided. Yet, DRIVE SOCIAL MEDIA refused to refund our $2,250 deposit, offering no proof of work. This is deceptive, unfair, and unacceptable. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY--they take your money, provide **ZERO value**, and refuse to refund even when no work is done. Stay away! We are pursuing all remedies and reporting them to the BBB. Save yourself the hassle and avoid DRIVE SOCIAL MEDIA at all costs! read more

I was promised a full marketing package when I was "sold" by Corey Fritz yet when I did my on boarding meeting I was explained that they will only be doing social media work. One of the first questions Corey ever asked me was "how much can you spent per month on marketing"? I told him the budget and what all we got within that amount. None of those things were included come to find out. I spent hours of my own time that were completely wasted with this company and then on top of that they are trying to keep my $1850 deposit when we need it desperately to market our small business. We had a really bad year last year and this money is critical to our survival. Stay away if you like to stay in business. read more

Our group has been collaborating with Drive Social Media for the purpose of enhancing our SEO and are extremely satisfied with the results thus far. The first step taken by them was to perform a very comprehensive and thorough technical SEO review. Speed of our site, mobile usability and duplicate content were some of the issues identified that had a negative impact on our crawl efficiency. After solving the technical issues, they directed their efforts towards the keywords searched by our potential customers and ensured that the right pages were linked to those keywords. Modification of page titles, headers and internal links made the navigation on our website both user and search engine-friendly. read more

Also, Drive Social Media lent us a hand in the process of updating the old blog posts and adding necessary keywords, structured data, and other elements. The new changes very soon rocked our rankings for some hard-to-get search terms that we had been battling with for years. The increase in organic traffic has been huge and there is much better correspondence of our site with important transactional keywords. The strategy of Drive Social Media is not only well organized but also very simple and at the same time aims at generating a good return on investment. I have no hesitation in recommending their services wholeheartedly. read more

We engaged with several Digital Marketing Firms and faced numerous challenges--none of them would come to my office and sit down with my team and me to redesign the website with SEO and Paid Ads. A business associate recommended Mr. Rippy at Drive Social Media, and he was fantastic to collaborate with. Now, we have an exceptional SEO-optimized website, and we look forward to a long-term partnership with them. Finally, we found someone who is professional and genuinely cares, not just focused on making money. read more
