So to my knowledge, there are 2 companies out there or at least the 2 most popular companies that offer this service. The one also offers driving directions and the other does not. I am paying about $600 a month for the service and I honestly cant tell if its working or not.

My rankings in the dashboard show just as many keywords up as they go down. I have had a meeting or two with the owner for a demo. All i hear is it just takes time.

Im not going to mention the company names but im sure some of you know. If you have tried please let me know your thoughts on if its worth it or if im configuring things wrong

I need more context, are you talking about for Youtube?
 
CTR is a factor for sure but manipulation of it is tricky.

Search engines make their living by getting clicks on ads so they can determine very well if click is genuine.

Not sure what you mean by this.
 
Sorry guys. I can't edit my original post now

I'm using a CTR manipulation software from a company for my clients Google Business Profile
 
Not sure if I am alone, but the OP's statements appear a scramble of a few IM jargons! Totally at loss what they intend to do. Need more context.

How?

To click on their listing in search / map results?

Yes, so the software is supposed to interact with the business listing. Click on the website tab x amount of times per week, initiate driving directions from different locations near by, etc.
 
Im spending $600 a month on it and have been using it since the beginning of summer. For something that I cannot even tell if its working that is a lot of money.
 
You might want to use microworkers instead,
You'll get human traffic and will cost way less most propbably

Yes we have looked into microworkers in the past. But never followed through. Good idea though, I think we will shift focus and give that a try.

Are the initials A.A.?
 
I've tested a handful of tools and CTR booster and vipertools/Kraken are the best.

i personally use Kraken though because i find the CTR booster setup and maintenance annoying.

Kraken is cloud based and INCLUDES mobile proxies as part of the service. so it's one bill with no setup. you just start running campaigns

they also added live driving directions recently and i made a video showing the results i got in just a few hours using it on a GMB profile

Now that we're a couple of weeks later, did those results stick? Is Kraken still your go to for ctr?

I'm just about done with CTR Booster... the admin of their Facebook group has no clue what he's doing or talking about and keeps pushing users to their outdated videos... and I say outdated because they no longer recommend any kind of proxies other than mobile... it's a mess over there.

still looking good and i haven't done any CTR or live driving probably since this video was made.

there are a lot of factors with CTR and one of them is competition. you shouldn't take a non ranking gmb and think a few live drives will be your silver bullet. I've run ctr campaigns where i didn't see any results in the first two months and then it exploded in the third.

but you should always have a well rounded SEO strategy and only use CTR to push things along. Referral traffic is huge so do some press releases and then run CTR on your press releases, maybe some social media traffic, manipulated urls, then pepper in some live drives.

theres no universal formula for CTR. it always depends on what you've done, who your competition is, and the search volume for the niche. i'm planning on doing a full CTR guide playlist on my channel so subscribe if you want to see it when i publish it.

and yes, Kraken all day. I hate the ctr booster setup. i've taken clients from agency assassin where they weren't getting results, and i got results with Kraken. CTR booster works it's just clunky and theres no innovation.

you just can't fake ctrs, using bots and proxies.

has to come from real people signed into their aged google accounts from LOW RISK IP addresses. Similar to google reviews. You just can't fake this stuff man.

you might not be able to, but I can. I've demonstrated it many times. You just need to blend in the with other traffic. You can't go throw 1000 CTR searches at a GMB in a niche that only gets 150 searches in a month.
 
Imo, i prefer the real people doing it, not bots and fake IPs where I don't worry about any risks. If you did it, kudos to you!.
I prefer for me, users who are signed into their REAL aged gmail accounts THAT i can do and much prefer that way for me.
People can also be instructed to perform specific actions once inside the site.

Anyway, each to their own. But, thats how i did it for me. I just needed 4 people to bump a #6 ranked site to #1 in 3 days or less. with 500 monthly search volume.
