    Hi Folks,

    just wondering if anyone knew anything about the world of digital marketing/ internet consulting such as the franchise WSI?
    does anyone know if they work/are a useful business here in ireland?:confused:

    Many thanks

    Ive read the basic info pack that they sent out for my own knowledge but i didnt think the server costs per franchise per month were a little expensive.

    Imo this is scoring very low, especially on credibility and practices, from what I can see from the Irish and international website versions. Too expensive also, as already noted.

    Ye as a franchise i wouldnt touch it with a barge pole for some reason, and im all over Internet Marketing/Seo like a hot snot.. :(

    One i would look to pursue my friend is.. no particular order

    1. Fastaway Couriers

    If franchise is your thing, check out the national magazine its in most newsagents, franchise ireland or something its called.. Think its a green covered one ..

    Cheers

    I agree with the comments re quality of the work done by the back office. You pay a back office in Asia ( India I think ) to write the websites for a fixed part of the fee.

    If website are your thing, you'd be better off writing your own websites, or buying 'white label' sites from companies who supply to the trade.

    I have not heard of these guys before and I just checked the Meet Our Team part of the site and it does not have any names or pictures of real people which is always a bad sign!! However, you could try
    Wolfgang Digital for Search Engine Marketing or RingJohn for Search Engine Optimisation www.ringjohn.com
    Internet Junkie is also a neat site for Irish online marketing opinion www.junk.ie
    I work in Marketing so have some experience of the above
    Cheers
