I too was lucky enough to have received a review copy of this service (thanks t0mmy!).
At this point, it's pretty surprising that t0mmy even gives out review copies...if I were him, I don't think I would. He is probably one of the best service sellers on literally all of BHW. I've reviewed other services of his in the past and they were stellar, as is this service. Hell, look at his other threads and don't look at reviews from those who have gotten review copies, but rather look at the reviews he has from people who have paid full price for any of this other services....they're always top notch reviews, and that alone should be enough. Anyway...onto my review of this service (spoiler alert: it's a great).
I'll start his off with what I normally am unable to do when reviewing a BST thread...I can start it off with saying that I have already seen a SERP rise. Normally when I'm leaving a review of a service, I don't have anything bad to say, but I very often am unable to say I received what most people are buying the service to begin with for...a rank increase. That typically leaves me with only being able to write about if the end deliverables to me were organized, article quality, backlink count/diversity, etc, etc.
Since I will only talk about hard & fast facts when leaving a review, if I don't get a rank increase, that's all there is for me to talk about. In this case as I already said, I'm really happy that I can leave this review reporting that the URL I was trying to get a rank increase for has in fact moved up in rankings.
The keyword(s) I was trying to rank this particular URL for have the following details:
keyword 1 - exact match monthly search volume 301,000
keyword 2 - exact match monthly search volume 30,000
(I gave a third keyword, but it was just a misspelling variation of the two other keywords to provide some anchor diversity)
I already have a video on the first page of google for these keywords and I wanted to get a second listing on the first page to go along with the video. The URL I provided before this service started was at 7th on the second page of SERP results for keyword 1. It is now fourth on the second page of search results (at this very second) and yesterday it was 2nd on the 2nd page of search results...in other words, it is still "dancing" around. That's excellent news for me because I know that if my URL starts dancing upwards after a service has been pointed to it, it's rankings are only going to get better. So from the beginning of this service to now it has gone up 3 to 5 positions for a truly difficult keyword (keyword 1...a 300,000+ exact match search volume keyword).
It's not ranked for keyword 2, but keyword 2 is really just an incredibly small variation of keyword 1 and my URL is only optimized (very specifically) for keyword 1, so the backlinks using the anchor text for keyword 2 are really just going to act as variations of keyword 1 to help keyword 1's overall rankings (which is the idea).
I was really hoping that at the time of writing this review that I was going to be able to say that this service pushed me to the first page, but that hasn't happened (yet), I'm not sure that it won't though. Either way, I did see a nice rank boost using this service. I'll give it a week or two to see where I finally land after all the dancing is over.
Now that you know I did receive a "true to life" rank increase for a very difficult keyword, I realize that the rest of this review you could probably not give a damn about, but I feel it's important to go over.
With this service you'll get access to a backend "basecamp" that allows you to manage your projects. This is a great thing to have if you're ordering this service as part of doing SEO for clients and not just for yourself, as you can easily manage each project individually and remain nicely organized.
The excel report containing the links is flawlessly organized and easy to see & find exactly what it is you've paid for.
The articles themselves aren't fantastically written, however they are definitely good enough to "stand on their own" so to speak and, in my opinion, not get flagged as garbage/spam by G...in fact, that is definitely the case otherwise I wouldn't have seen the rank increase I already have. The majority of the articles either contain a perfectly relevant image or VIDEO, in some cases both within the same article (a relevant image & video in other words).
t0mmy is a great service seller that really does know what works and what doesn't when it comes to getting better rankings and what a buyer expects to be getting when laying down their money...and he delivers.
This is a service I'll be budgeting for in my monthly SEO expenses...which is a high quality "review" in and of itself.
