Taboola Reviews 151

Taboola is great. although it took me a while to understand how to run ads on the platform. it is sophisticated a powerful though.

Do not fall in this trap!
They say they are the best platform. However, I believe its not about the platform only, most importantly, it is about the customer service.
Extremely poor customer service, no response or what so ever. The are just aiming at your pocket & want you to pay.

The platform has potential, I believe with some time and after learned a bit can give you good results, but customer service is ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. No live chat, no phone, only a fu**ing email service which takes up to 5 days to fix simple bugs. I asked to be assigned to an account manager and no answer yet. I opened a case two times because I wasn't receiving answer and they replied telling me that they will close one case as it's a duplicate, but didn't reply yet on the main problem. Now basically I can't change time and budget of my ads because of a stupid bug and they are not answering. Absolutely a disgrace service, I'd be happy to change my review later, for the moment this is the true experience.

Update 30.01: They are trying to put this review down, now it's 3 weeks with no support at all and with no account manager assigned despite I'm spending more than the required to get one. On another store with tracking issues they haven't replied back after 1 week. From 2 star now we go to 1 star.

Again, I want to give Taboola the opportunity to properly support me and I will be happy to change the review, but so far this is a very BAD experience.

Update 02.02. I've been assigned to an account manager. Let's see now how things will go.

It took about a day to get the ads and landing pages approved. Once the algorithms had some time to understand the best placements, our campaigns started bringing in positive ROI.

The dashboard is pretty easy to use, and will look familiar to anyone who's run campaigns with Meta or Google. But I think there's still room for improvement in the UI in some areas.
An account manager reached out and made some suggestions which lowered the CPC, which is always welcome. Overall a positive experience, so far.

The response towards my case.
Very efficient and helpful.

For me, the platform is user friendly and affordable. Customer service is also great, everything you need to succeed. Great stuff, keep it up!!!

Don’t use Taboola .. you will loose money . Ads don’t work . Traffic is bots . Needs shutting down

- They will keep charging you even after your campaigns are turned off.

- Setting a 'Daily Budget' means nothing - they will just keep charging you.

- Clicks are mostly bots or very poor quality traffic at best.

- If you have any issues at all, you will not be able to speak to anyone. And the email support is no help at all. They will copy/past responses and fail to acknowledge any of their errors.

- They will take money from your account - even while a dispute is happening about being overcharged.

In short. Once you've set-up a campaign and pressed start. They can just charge you anything and take the money. Stopping a campaign will not stop the charges increasing.

Avoid at all costs!

Please guys Don't even think about trying Taboola .com , You will get fake traffic with a 100% bounce rate Plus they will withdraw all your available money from your credit card without your permission.

FOR REAL

Clickbait advertising by them is terrible, 2 stars for ripping off the people paying to have there rubbish promoted through this platform though 😁that made me laugh to see

I would them 0 if I could. I signed up one day and started a campaign. I get up the next morning and my account was de-activated...with NO reason.
I guess I am a small player by their standards.
There are other way's to promote your business and I would steer clear of Taboola if I were you.

yep taboola did nothing and took £122 from my bank with no notice even though i was still on their trial period.
cannot contact them by phone.
they should be avoided like the plague.
trying to get my money back, have contatced my bank and reported them to tradfing standards and the ifs.
what a complete joke

scam simple as that 600 clicks 100% bounce total time spent on my website 17 seconds taboola charged me £366 for fake or bot clicks

100% traffic sent to my website are bots
Poor quality and no response from the support

🤬Why My Taboola advertising Account deactivated without any reason I just send traffic for my legal website content and without receiving any refund, I open Many tickets for 1 Week without a response 🥺🥺

Im fed up of seeing scam adds for cheap tat and clickbait articles scattered around loads of web pages. Its just disgusting and a wast of masses of data usage every day and out right scummy business practice.

It was in the beginning, now no, not all the daily budget is spent and the quality of visitors is poor

A complete scam, do not purchase their useless services.

You can see from all the reviews that Taboola cannot be trusted. It is a horrible advertising platform.

Just go back to local Cable TV ads as Taboola is awful. They're like little school children running this. I'm going to complain to the platforms that host Taboola to get them booted as it's the only way to get them to change.

Their adverts are just scams and simply take up internet bandwidth that could be better used by viruses and hackers trying to steal your bank account. Don't use them they are worthless.
