I’ve used three different Instagram growth services and this was by far the best. Two things stand out about it. 1) Get Results: When we signed up for the Executive Plan, we saw an immediate surge in activity on our account. Our visibility on the explore page was incredible due to the Power Likes feature. We also saw steady growth among our followers without any of the hiccups that we experienced from other services. 2) Professional Customer Services: Chris was with us every step of the way. When we had questions, he always supplied quick and helpful responses. Chris would even check up on us every once and a while. We would highly recommend SpectSocial to anyone who is serious about boosting their presence on IG.

Not Really Organic Growth

This is only my experience but I truly hope it helps others. I came across Spect Social from a blog listing it as a top choice for social media growth however that blog has recently been deleted. After checking out Spect Socials website, it looked legit and there was nothing permanent about committing.

After hiring this company, I noticed they try to do the follow/unfollow method which I believe is a poor strategy in suggesting "organic growth". When I asked if there was an alternative way, they said yes but this is the alternative - They offer incentives to other people for following you and those accounts are barely used, some with 13 followers or no activity at all. So I ended up getting 90 ghost followers in 3 minutes... If that seemed suspicious to me, I couldn't imagine what my followers thought. So I asked them to stop with incentivized promotions since that only gains ghost followers and looks sketch (mind you, I've been asking for a refund this whole time). Chris the owner then says that's totally fine "we can just like and comment on your behalf." I understood doing this would take time and I wouldn't get those quick results like in a paid promotion but after a week of monitoring activity, I was left in the dust. From my "posts I've liked tab" there was nothing happening because supposedly a third party handles your activity and it won't show up on your end, only on theirs. The only activity I saw after 2 weeks was likes and comments on his page.

I came to Chris as a professional asking him to stop the service less than 24 hours after my purchase. The follow/unfollow method alone scared me but he insisted that he knew what he was doing. I asked him to consider a refund even after all that and he hit me with the terms and conditions saying he couldn't. However, it only says "we won't refund you just because you didn't get the amount of followers expected". My cancellation was not because of the amount of followers but the poor methods chosen to get "organic growth". If you look up Chris on IG, the numbers are there however after learning that he liked his own photos on my behalf I feel he himself doesn't have an organic following, that his 10K followers are probably ghosts as well. I'm just not going for the "fake it til you make it" strategy.

Considering I'll never get my money back, I had to write a review just to help others in making a decision. I still wish him and his team the best of luck. Again this is only my experience and I really don't like to come between people and their money but please do your research before making the purchase.

WOW - that's legit

WOW! A service that works. I want to start off by saying I’ve tried SO MANY of these services and they never work! When I came across the millennial marketers site I spoke to the live chat and they answered my questions promptly.

One piece of advice...

One piece of advice: Be very transparent about what you want from the beginning and continue to communicate throughout the service. But still, your money is best spent with a social media manager that you can find on Fiverr for the same price.

My experience with Chris started off quite fruitful and promising. We discussed my previous relationship with a company that used bots and other damaging strategies. This made it quite challenging for Chris's flexibility in his 'strategic approach' to achieving growth + engagement. So I was very patient in allowing him to explore what we could do with my IG.

Firstly, we had signed up for a monthly package that would manage our DM's, including an 'automated welcome message' sent to everyone who had just followed us. The automated welcome message was sent to a bunch of people who were already following us and in conversation with us (which was REALLY embarrassing). I told him about the issue and even though he was apologetic about it, he never rectified the problem. He just stopped the automated DMs indefinitely (which was weird because I was still paying for that service). And I communicated this, but he did nothing about it.

Secondly, even though I was consistently asking for feedback so that we could work together in building my IG, I never noticed that there was any engagement with our community, there were certainly no extra likes on posts and even though we were growing, it was very VERY slow. However, I put my trust in his words that he was working on all of the above - so I didn't question it, until we stopped using his service and made a comparison and realized that his 'strategy' wasn't achieving any results.

Lastly, which was the most disappointing was his 'growth strategy'. He claimed to have created an ad that targeted specific users, using certain hashtags. Sounded great, but I had an influx of over 60+ users in one evening, who mostly did not even relate to our brand. I questioned him on it and this is when his attitude completely changed. He was short, rude and dismissive explaining that I'm going to get fake followers with this strategy and there's not much he can do about that...

I tried to work with him on refining the hashtags, but by then the relationship had become a nuisance to him and even though I was paying him, he didn't have time to tell me how his strategy was at all going to be effective. Of course, it wasn't. None of our new followers watched my stories or liked my posts (even though he told me to give them a chance.)

Chris seems like a great guy until you question his 'approach' to anything. If you use his services, don't expect anything overwhelming unless you're just looking for a bunch of random followers (who could be fake).

Hi Sara unfortunately we do not run support through Facebook message which is where you continued to send support questions. If you had questions needing detailed answers, it states on our site to email us. Due to privacy and business restrictions Facebook is not a platform for us to be replying in depth regarding growth methods, strategies etc. Best of luck :)

Very good service

Working with spect social was a great experience for me, the guys know what they're doing regarding instagram algorhytm and all combined needed to have organic growth, boosts and engagement.
They helped me get from maybe 2,3 k to 23 k followers in 6 months.
I am so happy I worked with them, if you're thinking about it, do it, I highly recommend them!

It did not work for me

By reading these 5-star reviews, clearly it works for some people but I am here to say that it may not work for everyone. I paid for services almost a month ago and after getting temporarily banned from Instagram, I figured their services were not for me considering the fact that ig is cracking down on companies like this who use software from foreign countries; I have tried so many different websites like SpectSocial and NONE do what they claim they can do for your engagement on Instagram. That's not to say that SpectSocial does not work at all, but I was not satisfied with how communication became nonexistent. After being temporarily banned, nothing changed with my engagement rate and no one contacted me about any changes that could be made. In fact, nothing changed since I began using their services; I probably got 10 new followers max. I was literally paying for nothing. Also, if you plan to cancel services before the next date of automatic payment, it does not carry out until that date. My credit card was going to get charged November 16th and Chris messaged me saying "Best of luck," after I cancelled which means I really did not get my money's worth and basically paid him for a month's worth of services that I never received. The refund policy requires that you post once a day which is not realistic. On the website, it's claimed that this company was featured on many big-name websites (Huffington Post?) but there is no proof of that, which is already a red flag. Also, most people who "reviewed" do not use their services anymore (I contacted most of them to confirm). So I would say try it with caution but honestly, just hire a social media manager if you are serious about boosting your engagement. These companies are not safe for your account no matter how much they claim they are.

the answer is YES

We have been working with Spect Social for the last few years now! Chris is a pleasure to work with and we couldn't be happier with growth and the engagement boost. Do what he says and your account will flourish!

This is a complete scam they take your…

This is a complete scam they take your money and if they can’t do the job they will not refund your money and the guy told me his attorney will be in contact with me if I’ll dispute with my bank!!!!
What!!??? That means he wants to charge me fo ether work he didn’t do now he threatening me for getting my money back after 2 days that I just paid.
Based of all these reviews I payed this company $29 for the basic plan to see how they would do, at first I actually thought they are going to do great since I could chat with the guy on Facebook, he asks for my password and the codes that get send to my email and I sent him. I use a strong security system which Instagram itself give you the options to use, the first day he said he can’t connect because of my app which was odd because I told my sister with the same security system I had was use to get connected a week before but he said I had to turn off the app which I did after the whole day passing he finally contact me and I’ll let him know the app is off now he says turn of your text massage too!! And that was it for me no sorry I’m not gonna give you full power on my security so you can screw me.
I told him you know what I don’t think this is working out the company I was working with them before even they didn’t ask me that and they had no problems connecting to my Instagram. I asked him for refund which he said no and when I said I will follow up with my bank he said he will sent his attorney for me!!! Haha!! The credits company’s representative was chocked when I told her the story and told me this is a total scam too!
I know!! Right! I let PayPal know as well that this guys are charging people through them and treat their customers awful as well.
Anyway if you decide go with them be ready for all of these and good luck!! Haha

Hi there, we are sorry you feel this way, yet this could not be further from the truth. In order to work with Instagram we have to be able to access your account which due to your security programs in place was not possible.

We then asked you to remove those so we could get in and you did not comply. We then offered to run ads for growth for you in exchange guaranteeing we would lose money from your purchase however we wanted to give you the service.

After sending you this response, you started threatening our support staff and claiming an illegal chargeback.

We are sorry about your experience in SpectSocial, however we offered to provide the services yet you declined. Thank you!

I love Spect Social. I have used various growth softwares in the past but have seen a noticeable difference with Spect. Not only have I been able to grow various Instagram accounts tremendously, but the team at Spect goes above and beyond to make themselves readily available if there is anything you need, or if any questions arise. My accounts are continuing to grow, my engagement rate is at about 9% and my insights show that my follower demo is right on point! Highly recommend.
