I know this topic is old and forgotten, but I just came across this after researching Manta.com
I must say that I kinda liked using Manta, but from the SEO perspective it didn't seem to deliver much, the problem with Manta was not using it, but cancelling it.
- You can't cancel it from the website, you need to request it
- After I requested it, I haven't gotten a response for some time
- After I followed up, the guy straight up lied to me that he responded already, even though there was nothing else in that thread
- After paying for few months, I got bunch of listings online on different profile sites, what my "Manta manager" told me is that if I cancel the subscription, and I quote: "we will no longer have control over the 60+ listings and they may end up reverting back"
So in short, if you are willing to keep paying them (forever) it's a neat little tool, but if you feel like you may want to EVER cancel it, think twice, as you might end up getting an email that sounds like a blackmail.
