If you've seen any of the press releases, Tweets or self congratulatory announcement on their website announcing that they were awarded a "Best of", you, like I, may have said what the Hell is a Pulse of the City? Exactly. I never heard of them...so I went digging.
Here's Decktech's "award." Now what does it mean? Really...truthfully, not much, my opinion is Pulse of The City is a pay to play award annointer. Give us money in the form of promo packages and we'll promote you...they are a privately held company and little is known about them. Searches to confirm their 20 years in construction draw up short...Not saying they aren't but why can't I find anything concrete to verify the claim?

| SO HERE IS DECKTECH'S AWARD AT PULSEOFTHECITY.COM AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY WANT TO SELL DECKTECH SOMETHING, SEE THE RED BUTTON? |
 |
| AND HERE IS THE OPTION PACKAGES COSTS. THIS IS WHY THEY "GIVE" AWARDS. DON'T BE FOOLED, IT'S BS! |
Their website is designed to sell sell sell, here's a sales pitch for you that they push...
 |
| Sites like Yelp and Angies list have rogue reviews you can't control... but when you buy from us, well dontch'a know it's an award that separates you from your money |
Pulse has only been around for a few years, handing out awards. Real awards are handed out be recognized entities. If you don't recognize something as a known institution, such as American Institute of Architects (AIA), then it's probably not.
Decktech's award is not about customer service and that they are good, it's about getting them sold to boost their self esteem and appearance on the web. What's your opinion?
