Matt and his team have been great to work with. Always responsive and helpful when we have questions. We actually had to turn on off ads for a bit because we were getting too many leads! All in all it’s been a great experience. Would highly recommend.
HQDM is a life saver. We were in dire need of a good stream of valid real estate leads and we needed a strong online presence. HQDM went above and beyond with great communication and quality work that helped my business grow better than I ever expected. I highly recommend them for their professionalism and great work!
They were always answering my calls and texts before I sent any money. Once i sent the $500 "trial fee".
Legit, fell off the face of the earth. Poof, like magic, GONE.
No answered calls no answered texts. JUST GONE.
SCAMMERS DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY
Don't waste your time!!!!!
The were quick to get on a sales call with me and take my $500 deposit towards their "free" 2-week trial. But then they disappeared.
They sent numerous reminders about our scheduled onboarding call, but then never showed up to the call. And they haven't responded to any of my numerous emails and texts to reschedule the call.
So I requested my deposit back and again... no response. Nothing! I had to initiate a chargeback through my bank to get my money back.
They seemed so promising during their sales call but they were nothing more than empty hype.
And the worst part is now I am 2 months behind in my SEO strategy and I have to start from scratch to find a company to help. I should have paid attention to the other reviews here that warned of the same thing. Lesson learned.
I had a very unprofessional experience with this company. Debbie reached out multiple times pushing their services and setting up a call, but when I asked to reschedule due to being in the field (like most real contractors are), she suddenly claimed their “marketing slot” in my area was filled and canceled everything.
It felt like a bait-and-switch tactic rather than a legitimate business process. If your availability changes slightly, they just drop you instead of working with you. That’s not how you treat potential clients.
Communication was inconsistent, pushy at first, then dismissive when it didn’t go exactly their way. Definitely not a good look for a company that claims to help businesses grow

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take every review seriously and want to address this directly.
Our market exclusivity policy is a core part of how we operate. We only work with one business per trade per service area. This isn't a tactic. It's a protection we extend to every client we take on. When a slot fills, it fills. We cannot hold territory indefinitely while scheduling windows shift, because doing so would be unfair to the business that committed.
We understand being in the field makes scheduling difficult, and we have genuine respect for contractors who run lean operations. That said, our team's outreach reflects real interest in working together. When the timing no longer aligned with the available slot, the right move was transparency, not stringing you along for a spot we couldn't honor.
We wish you nothing but success and hope you find a marketing partner that's a strong fit.
Scheduled appointment. They NO showed…… then sent me a very unprofessional text. Highly recommend staying away from this business. So many more much higher rated companies to choose from. Just another SEO SCAM

We appreciate you leaving feedback, but we want to be straightforward here.
We have no record of a scheduled appointment associated with this review. If a call was missed, we take that seriously and would want to make it right. However, we also cannot accept characterizations like "scam" without any specifics to investigate.
If you're a real prospect who had a genuine issue, we'd welcome you to reach out directly so we can look into exactly what happened. Our clients and results speak for themselves.
If you'd like to connect, we're easy to reach.
I engaged this company based on their claimed expertise in SEO services. Unfortunately, my experience was highly disappointing and fell far short of professional standards.
Communication and basic process issues began immediately. Despite multiple attempts to schedule the initial discovery call—which was never completed—the team consistently failed to respond. When I raised legitimate concerns about the absence of industry-specific and keyword research tailored to our business type, the responses felt dismissive and deflecting rather than constructive.
The situation escalated when I escalated the matter directly to the CEO. Instead of addressing the unfulfilled discovery call or my request for proper research and strategy alignment, the CEO argued with me and stated that, regardless of the quality or relevance of the work delivered, I was already committed to payment under the agreement.
The content and optimizations provided were equally concerning. Blogs appeared largely automated or generic, with little to no relevance to our industry or target audience. On-page SEO execution was substandard: keyword usage felt unnatural and improvised rather than data-driven, H1 headers were inconsistently structured and poorly optimized, and there was no evidence of meaningful user experience (UX) improvements or strategic customizations.
Ultimately, the 1500-word blog posts delivered minimal—if any—value in terms of relevant traffic, engagement, or genuine SEO progress. I cannot recommend this provider to others seeking legitimate, research-based, and results-oriented SEO services.
