Reviews

Unbelieveable customer support

rtnetworks December 23, 2022

I don’t often leave reviews, because I find most products and customer service average at best. Not this time. I ended up having some configuration problems with GTM in my child theme that prevented the plugin from working. Ron graciously offered to get on a Zoom call with me and debug my problem. Wow. I don’t expect such level of support for a free plugin. I don’t even get that level with most of my paid plugins. The plugin works as advertised. I’d definitely encourage new users to get the installation guide as well as it has some useful tips. Thank you Ron. You’re the best.

Great Product with Outstanding Support
