Russell Wallace has now opened the doors for the 4th time in 3 1/2 years to his new company name...29 prime! Russell has a track record of being a fly by night and operating scam telemarketing operations for local SEO. Check out reliable listing, ilocal sem, your local merchant and now 29 prime. The facts are all there for everyone to see and believe me, there are enough to keep you busy and want to stay away from this scum. He feels the way to operate a business is to sign up as many clients as Forrest(sales closer) can sell with an agreement for a minimum of 3 months off of there press 1 campaign that hits nationwide claiming they are google's 411 service calling to update your profile. Since they know they won't be able to do anything for you, Russell has learned from his failures that if he has a signed contract with 3 months, he can charge you. If his tele scam boiler room can pump out sales each week...you can see how Russell banks on several clients a month for a minimum of 3 months of payment. He has scammed employees out of money by his midnight move tactics and destroyed the market for small business owners on front page placement. This is not a competitor nor an ex employee...what i have provided here are nothing more than FACTS that can be viewed by typing in the ex companies he has constructed. Attorney generals have received several complaints and get a kick out of this clown...like any scam telemarketing operation, they all get about 4-6 years of destroying peoples lives before they are shut down. You cant operate under deceptive business practices with this kind of lack on integrity and stay out of the spotlight...buyer beware!!! Do your research before paying to have your online profile managed!! There are some ethical companies that have been in business for years under the same name!! Again i repeat...what has been presented here is FACT. Russell Wallace, Forrest Blackburn and 29 prime...scammers at it again under new name and scamming the marketplace.

They use illegal telemarketing practices. I received an automated telemarketing call from 405-283-8500.

They represent themselves to be Google and then once they bait their victims, they charge big money for Google's free Places listing service.

I have been with this company since March of 2012 and I can say for a fact, our rankings on Google maps have been number one since we moved to them.
Lets get one thing straight - in SEO, searches are based on relevancy of terms used. If I have a company called "Coke Soccer Balls, " chances are my visibility isn't going to be so great in the first place since "coke" is in the name. Many instances the terms provided will be under the drink.
SEO determinants on your web page are not just based on terms, but also on how long the company has been around and other factors. There are many factors like this that won't rank you organically.
What I like is they use Google maps for the rankings and that has helped us grow our bottom line. I don't know about others, but we have benefited well from them.
Thank you,
Amy
PLEASE Can't we do anything about this!
