Spent $60 on Fiverr SEO gig and got 2 website visits from bots

I thought I was being smart paying $60 for a Fiverr SEO package last month. The guy had like 500 reviews and promised to get my profile ranking higher so buyers could find me easier. Two weeks later my dashboard showed 2 visits from some random IP address in Vietnam and zero messages from real people. I tried messaging him for a refund and he just kept sending copy-paste replies about algorithms needing more time. Meanwhile I could have spent that $60 on a decent stock photo subscription or even just bought myself lunch to feel better. Honestly I feel like these cheap SEO gigs are the same as buying followers on Instagram it just looks good on paper. Has anyone actually gotten real results from these low cost Fiverr SEO packages or am I just unlucky?

Yeah $60 SEO is basically just a donation to a stranger on the internet.

You mentioned it "looks good on paper" but I actually think you got what you paid for in a way. Real SEO takes months of steady work and $60 is barely enough for one hour of legit consultation, let alone a full package with results.

Nah real SEO just takes months and $60 is basically a joke budget for that kind of work.
