My experience interning with PL has…

My experience interning with PL has been great. Of course, there are some bumpy times- just like any other work out there. I love the team spirit here, everyone is willing to help. Plus, there are a lot of training and courses about marketing, SEO, and communications that I have found really helpful, even in my daily life activities. If you would like to work with PL, I highly recommend that you do not waste any second.

Pearl Lemon is a one of a kind company that can hire you in very unfamiliar way even they are hiring you that way I assure you that having an environment like Pearl Lemon Team is very suitable to those who can thrive, who wants a work-life balance, who are willing to learn something new and flexible to learn anything, and most all a very understanding, cheerful and hands-on founder will motivate you to work smarter and efficient.

Non-toxic environment

As a person who does not have any work experience at all, I am so happy to be part of this company. The owner and the employees here do not have such superiority and they will always treat and talk to you with positivity, especially the owner. They also make sure that everyone can voice out their opinions during meetings.

Hate to leave negative reviews but this is necessary

I hate to leave bad reviews but I feel it's my responsibility to do so in this case. I came across Pearl Lemon when I was looking for Etsy SEO specialists.

PL have a good website with a very easy access and clear steps how to book an initial phone call to learn more about their services.

On that phone call, their representative did their best job to make sure they secure us as a customer and it all sounded very promising.

Then nothing happened for 2 months. We got assigned to one of the most unprofessional people I have ever done business with and all we heard from them was just excuses and 0 work. After two months of begging to receive what we paid for, they finally assigned one of their management staff to help with our account.

Lydia is the only reason why my review is not less than two stars as otherwise I would give the whole experience -2 stars if that was possible.

When Lydia took over our account, we realised that what we were promised, was not covered in what we paid for. In essence, the initial phone call was full of fake promises to get us to pay and then they denied that we paid for those services. I had to dig the old emails and send them as evidence that that's what promised and only then Lydia decided to go ahead and fulfil those services.

In the meantime, their sales team kept calling us during those two months to leave them 5 star reviews and good testimonials as well as to pay more money for their subscription programme.

The work we received from Lydia, is below average which is to be expected when someone does 2 months' work in one night. The work we received is unusable and it had the exact opposite effect of helping our performance on Etsy. Now I am dealing with a broken Etsy shop and rebuilding our listings one by one.

To top it all off, Deepak, their CEO kept calling for days to convince us to pay more money after all that. Not only he had the audacity to ask that but he also quoted new prices, 3x times more expensive than the original prices due to "higher costs" for their team.

I would avoid that company at all costs. Don't trust the ambulance of good reviews either as they are filtering out the bad reviews anyway.

Hi Johnny, thanks for picking Pearl Lemon in the first place and deciding to work with us and I’m sorry it didn’t work out. Definitely got off to a bad start and your frustration was well placed. And totally agreed there was alot of confusion across the course of the campaign which meant in the end no one left the campaign in a happy place :(

Always sucks when that happens :(

So we started with Gary and he definitely didn’t deliver. To that end we had Lydia come in and correct things. I think this is frustratingly where our opinions of what happened subsequently differ.

We had evidence of the listings improving significantly, your positive feedback was welcomed and we did a significant amount of additional work to make amends for what had happened.

In the end (evidently), despite us continuing to work with you months after we signed our initial engagement (11th Dec 2021), more than 4-weeks after deciding our relationship had broken there was a decision made to leave a bad review.

This came as a sad surprise to us given we openly discussed continuing together and discussed what the pricing per listings would be - and you were happily entertaining this.

Misrepresentations such as ‘calling for days’ the ‘work we received being unusable’, and having a ‘broken Etsy shop’ is upsetting for us to read and isn’t our understanding of what happened in any shape or form.

Especially given the positive feedback we received from you - and the seemingly breakdown coming when we didn’t agree on ongoing pricing to continue working together.

But given we happily discussed this between us underlines how out of character this review is - as when someone is apparently as unhappy as you are - it’s strange that we have evidence of exchanges demonstrating your consideration to continue working with us.

Also making personal attacks in regards to members of our team on a Google review, given improvements made during the course of the campaign which were acknowledged again seems to not be a reflection of what’s happened.

Overall, given the 3 additional months we spent working together, the changing of personnel to support your campaign, additional people getting involved to include our founder and the huge efforts made to get your company to a place of happiness - well it’s hurtful then read reviews such as this.

Regardless - we’re sorry again it didn’t work out and we’ll do all we can to learn from this - and we’re sorry again Jonny :(

The guy that runs his company Deepak is a shameless, Self promoting con artist who sells courses on how to earn £20,000 a month from Lead generation where he advocates getting friends and family to leave fake positive reviews as no doubt you will see from below. I’m amazed he hasn’t been exposed yet but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time.

Hi Edward, thanks for your comments here and I'm sorry you feel that way about myself being a con-artist. If you'd like to send me an email dee@pearllemon.com we can discuss everything that's led you to leaving such a review.

To that end I'd like to point out a few things for those who are reading this and weighing up whether to work with Pearl Lemon or not.

So - everyone who has left a review has got some level of advice / training / services from Pearl Lemon - 100% of them. We then ask them to leave a review if they were happy with the advice they received TO INCLUDE friends and family.

I (Deepak) have advised my cousins, nephews, nieces. I've advised business acquaintances who've become friends. I've advised friends who I've ended up doing business with.

On the topic of 'exposure' to suggest I'm a fake - I'd encourage anyone to watch my 50+ hours (1000+ videos) on YouTube of FREE content before making that determination.

Anyway Ed - sorry you feel that way chap and hope this answers anyone's concerns!

Extremely dishonest recruitment policy

Extremely dishonest recruitment policy. I applied for a Content Editor position posted on LinkedIn in January 2022 and it was only after I'd been contacted to fill in a further application form and send in a video introducing myself that I learned that what I was actually applying for was a low-paid internship scheme. They tout the scheme as the most amazing, wonderful experience, but the pay is terrible - a couple of hundred dollars a month - and you're not even guaranteed a job after a year of it. This explains why Pearl Lemon has grown so fast over the past few years. They use willing low-paid labour for a year and then get a new bunch of willing low-paid interns in the next time. It's no surprise that they have so many good reviews on here - marketing is their thing. Avoid.

Hi Russet - so marketing is definitely our thing (we're a marketing agency in case anyone is wondering). Us having bad 'marketing' online would be like going to an obese physical trainer or dentist with bad teeth. We practice what we preach.

On the subject of 'low-paid' internship scheme. I'd encourage anyone to YouTube 'work with Pearl Lemon' 'Pearl Lemon testimonials' - I'd also encourage anyone to look at 'Pearl Lemon Placements' (google this)

You'll find perhaps 100+ reviews (written + video in LARGE amounts of detail) about our programme.

We've got 50% of the full-time, salaried team who've got mortgages, new apartments, new cars and more who all started out as 'low paid' interns....

Apologies you feel so bad about this - and I hope anyone cross checking the above items will be able to see our perspective on this!

Amazing & Unique Experience

Pear Lemon definitely has an unconventional method of hiring and applying, but I think that it really works. It has been a great experience so far going through the trial phases and they have made me more excited to get involved and really shine. No matter what happens in the future, I will always be grateful for this chance and experience. The team is really kind and positive and extremely diverse. I haven't worked with everyone, but the ones that I have are amazing. I truly recommend the company for a job position.

Found a copywriting job in Indeed...BUT

Found a copywriting job in Indeed. Turns out to be basically an unpaid internship (circa 2,000 per year) not mentioned in their job advert. A complete waste of time. Avoid.

Hey Matthew, thanks for this! We have a copywriting internship and pay from $200 ($20 per article) for 10 pieces per month which wold work out £2k per year (i.e 2.4k) - that's where we start....

We also offer 10 hours worth of high quality training as a STANDARD before you start any work with us. Furthermore, we give you credits for all content you write for your own online portfolio and actually massively encourage it for your overall development.

We've had copywriters build whole careers after working with us

I hope this helps and I'm sorry again :(

Apologies that wasn't explicit in the advert - but I hope that makes more sense now - it's diffic

Great communications, strong leadership

I’ve worked closely with the founder of the company over the last year and have had the pleasure of seeing him and the business grow and develop. They are a smart and motivated team. I have seen that they truly care about being the best - both in terms of getting results and customer service.

Like with any agency you partner with, there may be bumps in the road at some points - that’s to be expected. But what I’ve experienced with Deepak and Pearl Lemon is that when any road bumps arise, they are super fast to address it and work tirelessly to make it right. That is a rare quality in a company these days! If you’re considering working with Pearl Lemon, I’d encourage you to give them a try and see for yourself.

Excellent partner for our fast growth goals

We had the opportunity to work with the sales team at Pearl Lemon and in fact even shared one of their internal resources for an Italian lead generation campaign. The insights and solutions that Pearl Lemon and specifically their lead generation department bought and has helped speed up our outreach process significantly. We've developed a strong working relationship and get solid consulting advice from them and have since built up a regular pipeline of leads. I'd work with them if I was you.
