FAKE POSITIVE REVIEWS

Almost every positive review on here is a fake review, I am sure of it. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY. Their service is not what they preach to you. Nothing but fake followers. They will not honor refunds either.

Social Sensei came in to save the day

Social Sensei came in to save the day. They were efficient, straight to the point, got their projects done on time with little questions. It not only sped up our content creation, but the quality as well. Our business was completely revamped from the inside out. I don't know how they do it but I am super grateful to have worked with them and have their consistent communication and support with all of our social media and website needs.

Don't waste your time with this

Don't waste your time with this. I bought the organic growth package for US audience and gained not one US follower. All my followers came from Vietnam and India. After I asked why that was, they told me that they don't have influence on where the bots (not supposed to be bots) are from. Absolute waste of time and customer service sucks. Sorry guys, but that needs a lot of work.

1. You purchased a non-organic growth plan.
2. Followers were not from Vietnam or India. You can choose where your followers come from on the plan you selected.
3. Our team would never say that and did not say that.

You are giving us a 1 star for delivering you the service that you signed up for.

Additionally, right above the checkout on the plan that you selected it states.

We also state this in the first onboarding email that goes out to you to ensure you do not purchase the wrong plan.

Please make sure you are aware of what service you are signing up for before leaving us a 1 star review. Thank you.

IMPORTANT
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A GROWTH CAMPAIGN

Before you sign up please understand clearly what you are signing up for. We drive untargeted general Instagram followers to your account. While this is great for gaining credibility, boosting social proof, and increasing your following quickly it’s not great for building an authentic community of raving fans, engagement, or increasing leads and sales.

If you are looking for high quality followers that love your content then you will want to look at our other services or talk to one of our social media experts so they can help match the right service with the goal you are trying to achieve.

I feel like every so often there will be no activity on my account and I have to write in to follow up. I would like to see more consistent activity for what I am paying and also would like to receive monthly growth reports like I was advised would happen when I signed up. I just feel like everything pauses or drops off until I email in and then I wind up speaking with a new person.

Never received my service

Never received my service. I purchased around thanksgiving, spent 500$. Not a small amount of money, and they kept just telling me my order was processing for 3 weeks until i cancelled on them before they charged me another 500$ for the next month without even delivering my 1st month.

Hey Xavier, sorry about the experience you had. Yes, you did sign up for $500, but we refunded you as we were not able to onboard your account at that time due to a staff shortage during the holiday season. We have hired additional support so if you would like to come back we would be happy to get you setup. Just mention this review for a special offer. Thank you and wishing you the best.

I would not recommend working with them

I would not recommend working with them – they are very disorganized. The communication with the assistants was awful. They did not send reports as they said they would. I saw some growth but it was slow and it did not meet my expectations. They also followed accounts that didn’t have anything to do with my niche. Not a good experience.

Thank you for your feedback. However, for the service to be successful it requires at least 1 and sometimes up to 2 months of training the team to understand what works best to grow your account. Sometimes this training process is faster than others i.e. you are successful with the first account you target, but that's not always the case. People that are looking for "instant" results from an organic campaign will be disappointed with our service.

Stay Away

Stay Away, I did my research on this company before i chose to work with it and I still got scammed. Fake phone numbers, automated answer machines and only communicate through emails. I placed and order for 500$ over 2 weeks ago and its just been PENDING the whole time, they keep sending emails with a whole bunch of excuses to why its being delayed, but nobody will answer the phone or call me back. They about to charge me another 500 for December and they havnt even delivered my service for November yet !

I will not wait any longer while they string me along, i cancelled and I am waiting to get a refund from my bank now

Repetative Content/Time consuming

The start of my service with SS was a mess. There was a ton of miscommunication, too many zoom sessions to explain why things were a mess, but once I got an "advanced" associate to work with me things smoothed out. That said, the content put out was way too repetitive - always looked the same, nothing new with the design, and nothing interactive - just the same image with designs just moved around. It worked but it was disappointing. My distributor hired a SMM who in just 1 wk of work has shown what SS should be doing for their clients.

Disappointed

Update 2/1/24: They worked hard for the first 4 months to gain me a few hundred followers a month, which I was very pleased with. However, as soon as I left a positive review (on 10/27/2023 now edited to this review), performance dramatically declined. I stopped getting any new followers or performance reports and when I inquired about it I was told they were focusing on unfollowing users for a healthy ratio, however this went on for months. I tried to be patient with them but I paid $200 a month for 3 months ($600 total) to gain 250 followers- when the absolute minimum guaranteed per my subscription was 120 followers/month. When I finally complained about it to my account manager this month and requested for this to be rectified for free per the company satisfaction policy- I never received a reply. The team also caused my Instagram account to now regularly be restricted with “You can’t follow accounts right now”, by not working on my account for weeks at a time then mass following/unfollowing users. So I obviously feel wronged and upset by all this, but never even got a response. Despite no reply I noticed activity increase on my account to try to hit the minimum 360 followers for 3 months, but I don’t feel the $600 I paid since Halloween were well spent on 360 followers- when I initially I was getting easily over 300 in a single month. I’m disappointed and just cancelled my subscription.

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately we are beholden to Instagram's algorithm and recently since 2024 they have tightened up what is possible for even organic growth across the board. We will be updating estimates on our site this month due to the change. However, we highly recommend taking a look at TikTok as it's much more conducive to growth than Instagram is right now. If you would like to give that a try we can offer you a discount to help grow your TikTok account. Most of our clients are experiencing 2x growth than they do on Instagram.

Our team is so so grateful for Social Sensei. They have been tremendously helpful with strategy & content, with such quick execution. It is a great gift and I don't know how we were doing it with out them before. It is so nice to work with a beautiful team that is so responsive, helpful and caring. I highly recommend to not do it on your own and work with this team if you are looking to grow your social media and get yourself or brand out there.

After working with their team for just a couple of days I could tell they were a team of professionals. Exceptional customer service and strategy for my growth. They're always quick to help me with any problems or questions I have, and the growth has been amazing.

Diabolical in every way! Avoid

Diabolical in every way! Lots of empty promises, a high turn over of (totally incompetent) staff and lots of lots of mistakes. All in all, it was a total waste of money and it took many precious hours clean up the mess that they made on my account. Avoid! Not worth the headache.

We have no record of a Lana Barakat in our database, but after Trustpilot completed their Investigation we were able to find the client that claims to have had this experience via an invoice number they provided.

We aren't sure why this particular client has left us a 1 star review as upon looking at our records their organic social media growth campaign performed at a 45% follow back ratio and they gained over 400 followers per month on the essential plan which is actually great performance and near the top end of what that plan can offer.

And for anyone that is reading this review please know that at Social Sensei we do our best to satisfy all of our clients, so much so, that we guarantee that if we make a mistake that we will fix it for free. This is stated directly on our website, so the claim above simply doesn't make sense to us if a client would bring a mistake we made to our attention we would simply fix it for free and there would be no "waste of money" or "precious hours to clean up" because our team would've taken care of it already. And if this client still feels that way please feel free to bring it to our attention and we would be happy to rectify the situation without judgement.

In fact most of our clients compliment us for our policy of taking ownership of our mistakes and making things right citing that as something that makes our company different than other social media companies out there.

Either way, we wish you the best moving forward.
