Being somewhat picky, I had a specific vision of what I wanted in my website. I gave some ideas to my web designer John and his team, and showed them examples of what I wanted. The team acknowledged my ideas, and gave me some suggestions for improvements, which made complete sense and made a huge impact on the overall feel and look of my new website. They were extremely patient and truly professional every step of the way. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend John and his team at VMS Data to anyone needing a new website (and hosting) at a very reasonable price! read more

Threw $1500 out the window for a failed website. I ended up restarting my website from scratch with someone else and it was a night and day difference. Don't listen to the clever/friendly salesman, they are desperate for a commission and nothing else read more

VMS is the best!!! They have been people of their word! I worked with a representative name Sue, she assured me that she would work to get things done before Christmas! No promises but she try her best. It has been two in a half (2 1/2) weeks since we have been in business and two weeks working together and we have been granted our EBT permission and have a new POS system that excepts SNAP! I want to also thank their tech specialist for all his help! If you are new and upcoming, this is the company to work with! read more

Horrid marketing company, they say things are wrong with your listings or your website and they aren't. This is why I hate marketing companies. Avoid at all cost!!!!!! read more

Horrible experience. A waste of $2500 and six months time. I'd sue them for a refund if I could. read more

Very poor customer service.They don't honor their agreements. Poor web design. Had so many grammatical issues; never made it on major search engines or social media sites. The information did not match the company's end product. The photos and graphics chosen did not represent our company . read more

My review of VMS Data is that it is a Schlock company, not to be trusted. They sold my company a "Google" listing on the first page of Google at $200 for a full year of support. I later found out that this listing was for GOOGLE MAPS which is not what I contracted for. I contested my credit card charge with my credit card company and with VMS data. My credit card company declined to support my claim so i am out $150-. I strongly recommend staying away from any dealings with VMS Data.

DO NOT GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION TO THESE SCAMERS they took my money and didn't build any website or do anything for two months. They want more then $3,000 for an 8 page website that you can get for $50 on godaddy. They where all nice before getting the money and after I asked to get money back they where rude and did not give me a refund. This is Bs read more

Sends tons of robo calls. Claims to be from Google. Then after ten minutes on the phone, explain the "one time registration fee". Very abusive when you explain that you're not interested. Should all be put in jail for intimidation and threatening someones livelihood, not to mention fraudulently leading you to believe they are someone they aren't. These are the Con artists you think they. Phone number came up as (617) 206-4644 read more

Took my money and I can see no results. They said they would get rid of a fake bad review for my business never happened. All they do is continue to call and hound you for more business. read more

SCAM DO NOT USE Wow, all I have to say is what an unprofessional, incapable business. I am actually shocked they are running and I hope their current customers can get out from their death grip easier than myself. I had originally hired them to create a website for me, $1,500. And they hosted it for $10/month, both fine. But then random charges of $18 would sneak in. On top of that, they sold me some overpriced "protection" plan for $100 and a google listing for $600. I am older and did not realize what I was signing up for until it was too late. When I called them to switch to a different company who is willing to help its customers, they said my service is now canceled and they would not help me, even though I've already paid for this month! To top everything off, they threatened me and my business. I may be old, but I will not succumb to a man behind a screen attempting to threaten my livelihood. What a disgrace. DO NOT do business with them, you will regret it. Oh, and I didn't even get to the web design part because they were so rude and unprofessional to me, LAUGHABLE. The website had typos, repeated stock images, was not mobile-friendly, had a drop shadow on text, and many more things I could go on about. Just save yourself some time and do not use it. read more

VMS Data was so extremely rude to me. I asked for a better explanation of their services and the lady hung up on the phone after saying, "really, we've been talking for a whole minute and you don't know?" Beware! read more

All of them are Lying, terrible people just like all the other ones out there trying to take your money, do not fall for their bullshit you will be very upset. Paid $1500 in October of last year and literally has not helped me one bit with what they have done besides put some pictures not even the ones I wanted for the site still haven't changed them... still haven't changed my phone number on the site after letting them know. They also offered me in this little Package Facebook and Instagram that they would keep me updated on that do daily posts this and that and literally has not done anything. You guys are shit and hope you fail read more

We were tired of the continuous (daily) robot calls about our listing being in trouble and that we were about to be drop. They conned us out of paying them and the calls continue, but they claim this is not their fault. When they call and you ask to speak to a manager they hand up on you or tell you that they are going to call you every hour of every day just to harass you. The OWNER of the company was very rude to us and would not refund our money even though they claimed to be with google and they needed to fix our ad so that we would not be dropped. Google says that this is a FREE service and you do not need to pay for your listing. DO NOT pay VMS for a free service. read more

Horrible company to work with. The web design took forever, they didn't get anything right. Costumer service was bad. Im still dealing with the owner now a year after I canceled and he is a complete asshole and knows nothing. They won't be in business long. Stay far far away trust me read more

Run away from these guys. It's a total sham. Any "Marketing" or "Web" company cold-calling other business owners making false promises and wanting your credit card immediately is a red flag. I get calls everyday with fear tactics - YOUR GOOGLE BUSINESS LISTING is on fire, or falling off a cliff. These are the guys behind all these tactics. read more

BEWARE Theyre calling off a dialer telling you whatever to sell you. Ask real questions and they have shotty answers.

This company is crap, they took a year to finish there job and never did, they sold me a website and doesn't work, they did my google review and close them down , they do not do what they say , DONT NOT EVER GIVE THEM MONEY , BEWARE OF THEM read more

I highly recommend working with this company! These folks are worth their weight in gold!! They are extremely knowledgeable and yet still nice to work with and take the time to explain the information. I am so glad my uncle put us in touch with them. The benefits to our business will be amazing! read more

I own a construction company and allowed VMS to list my business on Google for $275. The incessant calls from other companies like them were supposed to stop but they didn't. Don't fall for that like I did. They then talked me into upgrading my website....big mistake. The results were amateur at best and they took over 6 months to even produce some half-ass web design that a kid with a crayon could have done better. They charged my credit card $850 for this service even though I had formally notified them that I would not pay for their incomplete service. Even though it's not legal they charged my credit card anyway! I wouldn't even give them one star if it would let me. read more

After a very unpleasant start, I am pleased to say that I am a very satisfied customer. While I don't enjoy feasting on crow, in this insistence I deserve every bit. I am a part of the unpleasant start. Once I "unruffled my feathers" and gave VMS and the owner John H. a chance I truly was pleasant surprised. I think he understood my frustration and I know he and Cedric worked very hard to provide me with top notch A+ customer service. The site that Cedric made is what I wanted; right down to every letter and punctuation mark! It is clear, concise, professional, and simple. It is said that everyone deserves a second chance; nowhere else has that phrase ever been more appropriate. Thank you John. Thank you Cedric. read more

SCAM ALERT: They claim to be calling on behalf of our business google listing that needs updated that is already up to date when searched. Later saying they can correct this for $500.00 terrible way to do business. read more

Been working with VMS Data for several years now...The owner, John, is a very honorable man whose word and business practices are great...I would not hesitate for a minute to hire John or follow his instructions when it comes to the internet... read more

If I could rate this ZERO stars I would. I see why this company's ratings are so low. I received a call from a man, VINCENT, who's phone script sounds very misleading. I understand the world of sales and telemarketing, AND I also worked at a digital marketing company myself, so I have a pretty good sense of noticing red flags. Nobody has time to waste and because he lost my trust in the first 3 minutes of trying to pitch a backdoor approach, I POLITELY told him my thoughts of why I don't trust him or his business and hung up. He proceeded to call back 7 times in a row to JUST tell me how rude I was and that he would report me to my boss (who heard the whole conversation sitting next to me) He proceeded to again ask to be transferred to my boss (good try Vincent) to complain about me, the gatekeeper. This is NOT a way a great customer service based company should train their first line of marketing. I hope VMS Data could learn from this. As an experienced sales professional, recruiter, trainer, and entrepreneur, myself, I don't feel confident in ever utilizing a company like VMS DATA. Apparently, everyone else's reviews reflect that same belief. As a DIGITAL MARKETING COMPANY, ironically, their YELP rating does not show evidence of best practices being carried out. I hope they learn to improve their processes. read more

Very easy to work with & they do great work with the Google Business Listing. They also have just a one time fee for the life of the company & they continue to take care of the company throughout that time. read more

Called my business with an automated robo call about updating my free google listing at 11:55am 3/30. The biz name was not on caller ID and the number was spoofed to look like a local call. I have been hounded by this scam in the past. Hit 1 and was connected to vms data. they said they work with google, and they wanted to fix my listing. Didnt make it much further than that b4 I told them off. Googled the number they called from and found it belonged to VMS data who I called and they said it was their number and that my google listing was flagged and needed to be fixed. Nope. Told them to cease contact and then filed a complaint with BBB and wrote a review that they spammed me on their FB page. They then messaged me and said I shouldn't have called them out. After BBB intermediated I requested they not contact us again in any capacity. Of course that isnt the end. They emailed me trying to "make it right" and say they where a legit company. All research pointed to the contrary. They have terrible reviews and are also known as Design Metrix LLC, whom the BBB gave an F for running the same scam. I had noticed they took my review down from there FB page, so I wrote on it again, robo spammers, which did not post because they changed the FB settings because... guess why? Other people also wrote that they got spam calls and VMS doesnt want the secret to get out. Oops. They then began to prank call me. So I called back and got nasty with them, I have no love for people trying to harass and scam me. They then went into my google plus and changed the status of my biz listing to permanently closed. They may have also messed with my search results. Very petty. Now a little back story on VMS, aka Design Metrix, Viable Marketing Concepts. It was started by a heroine junkie, who has since ODed and died. Continuing its legacy are John Hall and Lindsey Hall and Andrew Gilby, along with a few other of society's champions. So now I have to take time out of my day to deal with a bunch of telemarketing robo spam calling junkies who want to harm my biz out of spite and retaliation. Not about to be intimidated or harassed by them. I would advise anyone to stay away from them and report any problems to the Arizona BBB. read more

i received a call from vms this morning from a telemarketer who would not give me the companies phone number. he said that there were problems with my google listing. when i tried to go over the problems with him he could not find anything wrong. my company name address and phone number were all listed correctly. after that he just hung up from a number which when i called back was disconnected. later that morning i looked up the company phone number, called and spoke with someone named matt who could not show me where my listing was wrong. this company sounds like a scam and i would never do business with them. i asked to be put on their do not call list, said good by and hung up. harold f. read more

I am not website savvy, and they said they would help me with my website's performance, and I didn't get what I paid for as I was informed that I would have to get a new website built by them. When I contacted them to find out what I could still get for my $200.00, they never responded. I complained to Discover Card and unfortunately, VMS prevailed. Deep in the fine print is a clause stating they aren't responsible for servicing websites they find "defective" and that I would have to fix the problems myself. What did I pay them for?. read more

VMS Data uses a very wise/tricky sales tactic. Once they get you on the phone they friend you and acted as if they already worked for our company. After 10 minutes of talking and laughing etc, they transfer you to someone else who processed to do the same thing. During this time they already have asked you all the questions and have you completely set up and ready to be done. You've now spent 20-30 minutes on the phone with them. Then they hit you with, ok lets get the payment info and bam, your $500 in the whole. They are very cleaver and sneaky. It truly is great sales tactics on their end. You decide to sign up at this point believing how much they can help you. Then they tell you they will send you an email, in this email you must give them the rights to your current listing for them to be able to do their work. I never received the email so I asked them about it. They said it was sent and could not be resent. I said I didn't get. They said I had to find it or else they couldn't help me. At that point I asked for a refund and was given a call by a woman. She said there is no way to be given a refund but could help me with it all. At this point I know longer trust them and just wanted a refund. This turned into a yelling match and I said I will just have to dispute the charge from them on my credit card. She told me I'd never get it reversed. (must have practice at this) I called our credit card company and filed a dispute. After some time I got a response from the credit card saying they are unable to reverse the charge due to evidence VMS sent claiming they did the work for me. They sent screen shots of our current listings with Google, Yelp, and Bing claiming that they completed that work. This is incorrect. Those listings had been completed in house with our business. Not by VMS. I again reached out to them and told them it was lies and I needed a refund before writing reviews with how they have acted. I was then given an email stating they would still do the work for me if I would allow them however they will not refund my money. They also stated that if I write any bad reviews about them they will sue me for slander and any other harmful actions I take against them. Because I am speaking the true I am not afraid of their threats and therefor writing this review. I do not want others to be taken advantage of they way we have. read more

I have been called by them about 20 times in the past 30 Days, it sounds legit at first, them stating that they want to update my google business profile, and that it has been flagged by google for removal. I asked if they were trying to charge me for it or if it was free? They Said free. I went along with it for one conversation. When I asked them why google did not notify me, they said that they are a service provider for google and acting on their behalf. I went through the steps basic profile update questions, making sure that i didnt share any personal information with them. Upon a 25 minute conversation with 2 different folks, they stated that it was going to be a $300 fee to update everything. SHAME SHAME SHAME on Them. I let them know that they are doing predatory fraud under false pretenses and that should stop getting a paycheck from honest uninformed people that get suckered into this. STAY AWAY FROM THEM. read more
