Spent $200 on a 'done for you' content package that was pure garbage

Honestly, the blog posts were all fluff with zero SEO research and the graphics looked like clip art from 2005. Has anyone else gotten burned by these cheap content agencies popping up on LinkedIn lately?

Tried a freelance "Instagram growth guru" once who just reposted my old pictures and called it a content calendar. Felt like I paid someone to show me how to use the schedule button.

Did you also get the part where they promised "original" content but it was clearly reworded from the first result on Google? I paid $150 for a funnel package and the "custom" video was literally a template with my logo slapped on it. The copy was so generic it could have been about dog food instead of my actual service. Makes me wonder if these people even know what SEO means or if they just buy a bunch of Canva templates and call it a day. Totally feel your pain on that $200 waste.

Wait, they couldn't even be bothered to change it from dog food to your actual service? That's next level lazy, like they just copy-pasted a "fill in the blank" template and prayed you wouldn't notice. Honestly at this point I'm convinced half these "marketing gurus" just run a Google Translate roulette on random blog posts and call it a day. Ngl, the Canva template jab hit home because I swear that's the entire business model for half these people charging $200 for "brand strategy.
