Hey Bharti, I stand by what I said previously. To be crystal clear:
- We did not take your server down. We had 1 blog post that was deleted, that's it. You had an external event regarding your Odoo server that deleted your entire blog page, we did not delete that. (we do not have admin access to your site or external access to your server, we had editor access to your website, that's it). It would not be logical for us to be deleting parts of your site, even if we could.
- We did not know that the blog article was missing, it was 3 days, we do not check to see if a blog article is still there or not every day. We fixed it as soon as we were notified. You use Odoo as a CMS which I believe is a closed end CMS, so it sounds like an external issue from our work.
If you have an external server (for example, maybe you rolled back the server after we published an article, which would remove the article we published), problems happen. We address them as soon as we are aware of it. We cannot micromanage this for you, though.
- Yes, Ivy, from the Philippines, is our Head of Accounts and is great. She tried her best to help you and we sorted a full refund of your 1 month payment and 3 months for free, in which you were still considerably upset. It got to a point where it was so negative, it was escalated to me, the CEO of Ranked, to handle. I will always be direct and honest and I put our employees first, instead the need to work with a client. I will always do this.
I said that we are not a good fit for you, which I still strongly feel is the case considering that you are now accusing us of breaking your server, we didn't.
We don't know anything about your server. But if you had to roll back everything, including payroll on Odoo, I don't think this is due to us. We don't have access to that.
We manage thousands of websites and have access to thousands, we publish thousands of articles weekly with minimal issues. In 9 years, this is the first time we get something like this left.
We are sorry for the one blog article being deleted, we don't know if it was us that deleted it (as it would be counter intuitive to do that as an SEO service), but we did take responsibility for it and republished the article, to resolve the issue.
It's ok for us to have a different view on things. It's also ok for us to choose who our clients are. We are not forced to work with everyone. We decided that we were not a good fit for you and parted ways with a full refund processed. I am sorry that this upset you, but I also do understand.
We wish you all the best.
