Let's talk CTR tools. CTR Booster vs Viper SEO Tools/The Kraken

[ioiodani]

I talked with a GMB spammer who needed some work but I couldn't get the price to work. Maybe I'll throw something up and find a better way to automate this stuff. I've never been to sure on how much demand there is for a service like this.

Start with a small group of 20-30 people. Sing me up when you do.
I am new to CTR BOOSTER... so I don't have an opinion about how well it works. All I can say... and it is very seldom I badmouth a developer (because I know how hard it is) ... it's the company with the worst customer service EVER. I was a new customer and after paying $200 signup and trying the tool something didn't work properly (it had to do with the fact that the ips (and mareketplace) where in a non english country. Of course google served the language of the ips and CTR Booster got stucked. I asked the developer how to fix it and of course complained about the fact that it didn't automatically switched the language.
Their response was that I don't know how to set it up. Got a refund on the $197 and the account was blocked. They might have been right, I might have not setup the tool properly, but that is a funny way to treat a new customer. So that concludes my experience with them... and with the worst customer service I've seen.
I've tried few other tools that do CTR, and all are buggy. Finally ended up buying a tool (from that Chinesse company someone was talking about here). That is buggy too but at least you are able to customize it and fix the errors you get.
I am only using it for GMB and I know for sure that at a local level CTR for GMB works. I do it with local mobile proxies.
Here is what I can tell you for sure works for GMB.
Directions from competitors to your location.
Google custom maps with those directions (public on the gdrive and with some traffic send to those from social media) (For that I use GMB SNAP)
Search on kw > Find > Drive to location (spoofing that drive on the map). The farthest you are when you start that drive the better. (for that i use Imyphone Anyto)
I am still looking for a strategy and a tool (I'm thinking to even have one custom made) that would help with CTR on Google not only on GMB. My guess is that is way harder because it's one thing to influence the GMB locally (the puddle) and a completely different thing to manipulate G at nation level (the entire ocean).
I've seen few people saying that they are doing that successfully. I'm not expecting them to share the entire strategy, because we all know that when a lot of people start using the same strategy ... it's just a matter of time until it won't work anymore .... but a few pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks

If I do I'll start a thread here. I own a large PBN and have though about combining that with a CTR service, sort of a full DFY service people could use for their clients.

I get really annoyed at a lot of the CTR stuff out there right now though, I wasted a lot of money on stuff that never worked.

I'm not surprised at the CTR Booster stuff, the original owner sold after the May update and the new guy has been a total pain and pretty sketchy in the groups I've been in.

There are specific URL structures that really help with CTR and a few other little strategies that I've found work. Basic CTR does work well though and results should start within a few days.

I tried one SAAS product available and ironically the owner contacted me on another forum asking for a call. He wanted help because he wasn't seeing results for his clients. Just infuriating to realize that that was the very service I was paying for. I don't think a lot of people realize how good Google is at recognizing real traffic for these algorithms.

On the same note I haven't done much with YouTube but have found the same thing, a lot of people in that space don't provide views like they claim. I do think the algorithm is not as sophisticated though.

I'll look into that specific url structures. I believe you mentioned somewhere google identities. When it's about GMB I use all kind of custom urls, some are the custom map that I create with GMB SNAP. With those it's easy because all you have to do is say assign a pin with that link and then visit that pin. On Google however I am not yet sure about something. So I'll ask you. My business is mainly Ecom Amazon and few other platforms. For my needs on those I already have a network of few hundred aged gmail accounts, each on it's own browser, on its own local dedicated ip (not mobile) with cookies and everything and a system that uses those daily. So I'll ask you 2 questions. Have you noticed a difference in CTR effects between local dedicated ips and mobile ips? Also a difference between using those few hundred google accounts the way they are (logged in, cookies and search history) versus usign just the ips with a tool that does CTR. Let me be more specific. Let's say I search kw1 on 20 of those browsers logged in in google. And then the next day same kw on the next 20 and so on. After 15 days I'll have to go back to the beginning of the cycle and eventually do the same search on the first 20 accounts. That will be repetitive and I don't believe google is that stupid. They might take into consideration the first round on all accounts but then if I do the same thing again I don't believe it will have the same impact. Versus using a tool (existent or custom designed) where I just input 300 ips and it will randomly search that kw without being logged in an account thus creating a trail.
In regards to youtube I haven't ranked videos there since 2010 because it's not part of my strategy (I'm pretty sure I'm wrong about that too hahahaha). However, if I will ever decide to go back to ranking on youtube, the tools I will use will be the tools sold by Blaster Suite. I know those guys personally, and I know they made millions (and still making) from affiliate comissions maily from youtube way before selling tools for youtube. Because they walked their talk and they use the tools they sell themselves I won't buy from others.
That brings me to another point for the rest of the people who are reading this.(myself included)
Take your advice (if possible) from the people who have done it and are doing something successfully what you are trying to do, versus the people who are selling tools that promise God knows what.
Don't expect it to be handled on the plate for you because it won't. It's never like that. There will be people who'll help you with an idea, but you'll have to build on that yourself, test, test, test... and then get to your own conclusions. Something that might not work for me, might work for you very well because you've done something a little bit different.

For those who are successful with CTR for brick & mortar businesses (not service businesses). What is the extent of results you are seeing in terms of grid radius? Are you able to rank #1 lets say 5-10km away considering almost 80% of google weightage is based on proximity? More so referring to competitive markets with 500k+ population.

Google now patched up CTR booster making it irrelevant to rank you. It's the new update.

Do you know an alternative to CTRbooster?

CTR Driver is a new fully managed tool that does real driving directions from mobile devices.

Is this your tool? Because Google is good at detecting bots that use Android. They can tell if you've left your car.

 

[Slin25]

I have tried driving before using emulators and found no benefits, I’ll try this.
I have also paid a well known provider for drives using physical iPhones connected to MacBooks to control them and saw results.

A url structure? Ehh how Can a special url structure gain anything from ctr? And visa versa?
cant follow you here.

Google uses entity ID's in URL's to associate data.

Don't want to say too much on an open forum.

Edit: I also wanted to mention that the drives I tested from physical phones connected to MacBooks did not work. The provider was sending me fake reports. Back to doing it all on my own I guess.

Anyone interested in being hired to audit my CTR process? I have over 300 GMBs that could use a boost. Let me know at [email protected]

Sent you a DM. Would love to learn more, happy to pay, and won't waste your time.

I wanted to try epictrafficbot dot com, seems they have a lot of options, but to be honest I never used it. Anyone with opinion on this?
