Cleverly | #1 B2B Marketing Agency Reviews 1,135

Cleverly is an excellent LinkedIn marketing tool, it allows me to work on active business while marketing for future business at the same time.

Very professional service and I’m highly confident will become a valuable part of my business growth.

Cleverly is a valuable tool for anyone looking to boost their LinkedIn outreach effectively. The platform utilizes data-driven approaches to craft personalized connection requests and follow-up messages, which significantly enhances the chances of receiving positive responses. What stands out about Cleverly is its use of LinkedIn's Sales Navigator, which allows for highly targeted campaigns tailored to specific industries, job titles, and even company size, making it an excellent tool for B2B marketing strategies.

On point and they know what they are doing.

We recently signed up for Cleverly’s Platinum package, expecting a comprehensive LinkedIn outreach solution with features like multiple campaigns, training, and email follow-ups. Unfortunately, the experience has been far from what was promised.

First, their security practices are alarming. They ask for credentials to be shared via email in open text, and those are then stored in an open document accessible to their entire team. Even worse, these credentials are saved with a visible password option in their platform, although they do offer MFA.

Once we kicked off, we quickly realized many of the advanced features that sold us on the package aren’t available upfront. For example, training isn’t offered for another month, and additional campaigns or advanced options only unlock after 3-4 months, which means you’re paying for features you can’t even use at the start.

To make matters worse, the platform altered our lists, leading to outreach targeting people well outside our ideal customer profiles (ICPs), and they used the wrong messaging. This not only hurt our brand but also put my personal LinkedIn account at risk—an account I’ve built for over a decade with more than 8,000 connections.

When I raised these issues with our account manager, Samantha, we were met with deflection. We were told credentials were protected when they weren’t, and that the system was working when it clearly wasn’t. Despite evident platform issues, the team refuses to acknowledge the problem.

In short, Cleverly’s service has been a nightmare. I cannot recommend this service to anyone looking for a professional, secure, or reliable LinkedIn outreach solution.

Update to My Review:

After raising concerns, I spoke to Cleverly’s CEO, Nick, who offered a 30-day extension to fix the issues, promising a full refund if they didn’t deliver. Despite reactivating my account, the onboarding meeting they promised was never booked, and the same issues persisted: wrong messaging, typos, and poorly researched outreach. No appointments were booked, and no leads were generated.

None of the other services I paid for—including LinkedIn optimization, email campaigns, masterclass training, personalized copy, prospect lists, or campaign optimization—were delivered. When I requested a refund, Nick unexpectedly called and gave me an ultimatum: take down my reviews or only receive a partial refund. I chose to keep my reviews up and ended up receiving just 50% back, despite only getting through 25% of my agreement.

This experience has been deeply frustrating and unprofessional. My initial concerns were not resolved, and the promised outcomes were never achieved.

Easy to follow, took time to listen and responded well

Alexa provided a calming introduction to the program.

I had a great experiece working with Cleverly. They took me through the process step by step and answered all my questions. They helped me target specific leads and showed me new ideas.

We are fairly new to Cleverly. The support and guidance has been great. Working into the first full month and seeing connections in LinkedIn.

Well structured onboarding process and productive outputs. My Customer Consultant was prepared and we had an excellent session.

Just started using Cleverly, and everyone has been great! It looks like a very useful tool for gaining clients via LinkedIn.

Waste of time and money. Not only did I have to pay for the Cleverly account, I had to pay for the most expensive LinkedIn account. I got zero leads in 3 months and had my LinkedIn account suspended. I don't understand how they have so many positive reviews on this site, that is another red flag.

Note: Cleverly responded to this review saying that they operate within LinkedIn guidelines and do not cause account suspensions. This is not true. My account was suspended and we had to stop my cleverly campaign for one month. Cleverly informed me this happened because LinkedIn made a change in their policy. It is not uncommon for LinkedIn to do this. I have an email correspondence with Cleverly regarding this matter. It's disappointing they would quickly respond to this review and claim that they do not cause suspensions.

We recently started using Cleverly, and although we are just at the onboarding stage, our experience has been extremely positive. The process has been smooth and efficient, with clear communication and structured steps that make it easy to follow along. The team is knowledgeable and responsive, providing prompt answers and offering valuable insights to help get the most out of the service. We are looking forward to seeing the results as we progress further with the campaign.

Cleverly has been great to work with as far as setting up the account an onboarding goes. We are just beginning our campaign and I will be following up with this review once some metrics are obtained.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ahmed and his team, and I couldn't be more impressed with their exceptional level of service. From the very first interaction, it was clear that Ahmed is not only a true professional but also someone who genuinely cares about delivering the best results possible.

Everything was streamlined and seamless from end to end. They seem to have their entire onboarding dialed in and pain-free for their customers.

Based on our recent call, I can confidently say that the assigned account manager, Ahmed, was well-informed about our lead generation needs. He took the time to fully understand our bespoke requirements and made the necessary adjustments. His suggestions for optimizing my profile were insightful, drawing from his experience with other clients to help us maximize the value of the service we are investing in. Overall, the kickoff call was a great experience, and I look forward to sharing more feedback once we see the deliverables in action.

Will was a great listener and very responsive to all questions.

It has a great platform, amazing customer support, and effective lead generation with little effort.
