“Great for small business”

Sergey K.
5/1/24

My small business was struggling and I knew that I needed to do some marketing and online advertisements, which was an area pretty new to me and didn't know much or very little about it. I have done some FB ads and that's all. But I guess it was not enough. Since I had nothing more to lose I decided to ask for help from professionals. They seemed to know the business pretty well since just after a small research I found them. So they have pretty good marketing which was a good sign in the beginning. I contacted them, we scheduled an online meeting, they gathered all the information they needed about my goals and my business and in a week they came back to me with an offer. I am glad that I accepted that offer even though it looked a bit high price to pay at that time, but it started showing results immediately. Now my customer base has grown significantly. They saved my business I think and I am endlessly grateful for that. I can't recommend them enough!

“Total waste”

Ted M.
11/8/15

After 5 months of 1250 per month I received ONE lead (Giving them the benefit of a doubt for one) Yodle is really good at stringing you on for more payments. Every time we called customer service they found something that should be changed to fix the problem. DON'T waste your money. There are legitimate companies out there that will yield results. Clay Blakemore finally called and made more empty promises.

Yodle is doing an awesome job of helping me to market my accounting business. It is amazing the personal attention, and knowledge that they have shared with me.

They are very informative and have a great, knowledgeable staff. Everyone that has worked with us has been really easy to work with. We would definitely recommend yodle.com

Unfortunately, this rating sight will not allow me to give zero stars as yodle certainly does not deserve one star. Worst sales pitch ever... this means you Amin.

Everyone I've talked to at Yodle has made this process very easy and streamlined. I was worried that it would be cumbersome to operate, but looks like it will be a piece of cake.

Yodle has not helped our business in any way. In fact, when the 3 month contract/agreement was up, Yodle took out hundreds of dollars from our bank account without telling us about it so they could renew the agreement themselves. When we called them to tell them we do not want to renew their services and asked for a refund, they stated "it is in the fine print that we can charge you" and would not refund us our money. Now we are stuck with a crappy service that we have NO control over for another month. YODLE IS CREATED BY SCAMMERS!

We are a new business and wanted Yodle to assist in optimizing our web presence. They charged us a lot of money and then used some archaic programming and determined that people look up mediators by using zip codes first then the words, mediator, divorce, family, etc... needless to say, we spent 1600 trying to get this resolved to no avail, The people sounded helpful, but nothing was changed, We requested a refund as none of the promises were fulfilled. That did not happen. They offered a discount. Why would we want a discount on a failed product. We passed. Then we tried using just the website. We learned the having our website and their causes our website to get pushed down on the query page. Not what we wanted. Finally we had to take it down. Don't use this service. They don't know what they are doing and refuse to admit that they have made a mistake. It cost me $1600. But by their unwillingness to refund our money, it is going to cost then a great deal more because if anyone asks me about their services, I am just going to tell them the truth.

YODLE IS THE WORST ONLINE MARKETING COMPANY COMPANY ANYONE CAN IMAGINE. THEIR OPERATION CONSISTS OF GETTING YOUR BUSINESS TO SIGN UP FOR AN OVERPRICED THREE MONTH TRIAL PERIOD WHERE THEY GIVE YOU A THIRD RATE GENERIC WEBSITE AND TELL YOU TO WAIT WHILE THEY GET YOUR ORGANIC RESULTS BETTER IN THE SEARCH ENGINES. AFTER THREE MONTHS THEY DO NONE OF THAT AND THEN TRY AND CHARGE FOR MONTHS AFTER YOU HAVE CANCELLED SERVICE WITH THEM. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS TYPE OF CROOKED MARKETING.

Tip for consumers:
JUST AVOID THEM TOTALLY AND FOR GOSH SAKES DO NOT SIGN ANY CONTRACT WITH THEM.

I've been with Yodle for many years because they know what they’re doing. I’m in the number one spot for towing on Google and I’ve got an area here that is huge. You can’t get those results from other companies around here. They list me on Google with my picture, my location, phone numbers and my reviews. I’m listed in the area I need to be. I can call them up or I can email them for customer service and they always help me. I’ve been dealing with Yodle before it was the Yodle of today. The new dashboard is excellent. You should see it if you’re thinking about becoming a customer. There are different ways to get reviews and the home page alone tells you a lot of information through graphs and numbers. I already have 284 contacts stored on there. I can see my results and ways to drive more results. It’s listed in vivid detail. It shows the number of leads, web page visits and the organic results. Email marketing is a new feature I found to be quite impressive because they’re reminders and updates you can send directly to your customers. I’ve fired twenty or more services in the years I’ve been with Yodle but unlike other companies, Yodle keeps their promise.

The same verbatim as the reviews I have read. Lot of money. Little return.
Poor customer service. Only one thing to add, this service borders on scam.

Yodle did not provide any sort of help to my business nor did they perform as promised. I will not be happy until I'm issued a full refund. What a racket. Buyers beware.

Yodle has been my first experience with an SEO company and I have not been disappointed. The analytics on the dashboard are great-clear, well thought out and easy to understand. I have to say the best part of the experience has been with our Consultant, Zach. He is awesome and has done a lot to help our business as well as some of our other locations.

Thanks again,

Super helpful, quite patient with my multiple questions (I'm a NEWBIE), and knowledgeable. Plus, Kevin provided precisely what I asked him to change. This was my first experience w/Yodle support and if everyone provides the high quality support I received from my representative, I have to predict a brilliant future for Yodle!

I was contacted by a rep who wanted me to review a presentation about their services. She gave little information other than, it will be covered in the presentation later that evening. I agreed to listen to the pitch, but did get the name of the company, Yodle.
I looked up the company and was not interested in what they offered and emailed the rep to tell her that I was not interested, but thanks.
I received a call today from a man that was asking why I missed the appointment. I informed him that I canceled the appointment and was not interested. He sounded angry and almost yelling. He kept saying that I didn't want to grow my business, but I kept telling him that I wasn't interested. I finally had to hang up on him because he wouldn't stop talking.
Very pushy and rude. Horrible impression of this company.

I spoke with Tina on Thursday, November 13th during the late afternoon/early evening. She went ABOVE & BEYOND in assisting me with getting my new website some much needed changes, and to help me understand some aspects of Yodle that I hadn't fully grasped yet. She did a fantastic job and hopefully her effort will exemplify the remainder of my experience with Yodle going forward. If all other Yodle customer care specialists are similarly excellent to Tina, then I can say for certain that their Customer Service Dept. is first-rate and the best I have ever dealt with. Thanks again Tina!

If you are considering using this service, let me tell you how much you DO NOT WANT TO WASTE YOUR MONEY! I've paid for this "service" for 4 months now. They built me a website, but short of that, though I have done everything they suggested I do, the "service" has net me: 4 phone calls, 3 of which were businesses attempting to sell me something and 1 possible customer, who did not leave a message. I've had 80 or so website visits mostly from my friends and family, all of which have netted me 0 new business. I have contacted them on numerous occasions to inquire as to what they had intended to sell me and why that was not happening. They have checked and checked, but the bottom line is this is CRAP! DO NOT FALL FOR IT!

Like many on here my experience begins and ends with the initial sales call, which was overly scripted and painfully time consuming. The sales person felt the need to repeat my name dozens of times throughout the discussion, which always sets off alarm bells in my head, this is an outdated sale ploy that is supposed to gain trust, but in my mind has the opposite effect. When we finally cut to the chase, I suggested that prior to making a $1500 commitment I do some independent research on Yodle and their services, this was met with a rather aggressive sales pitch where the rep began to machine gun their credentials and endorsements at me. I spent 18 years as a corporate purchasing manager, so I know when a sales person is trying to close me and keep me on the phone until they do. If those achievements and endorsements are legitimate why not let me off the call to do my own research? My guess is because I would end up on this site where over 180 people gave them 1 star and many for the very reason I am now.

I don't know if their service is worth the price, or if it will do anything to improve your business, and it appears I will never find out. Whether they believe it or not they had a serious lead in me, but when I had to resort to shouting into the phone to stop the sales rep from talking non stop over me, I knew I would never be a client.

Hi Patrick,

I'm really sorry that this was your experience. If you remember the name of the person you spoke with, please contact me at syvenna.siebert@yodle.com or 646-770-8974. This is not the type of conversation we want our sales team to have with prospective clients, and I'd like to look into it to see what happened and determine the issues we need to address.

Thank you,

The Yodle team members on this site are anxious to be helpful and personable. They are well trained and seem interested in doing their follow up with my progress and understanding of my professional and highly personalized business website/dashboard. The Yodle team has kept their promise of caring about and supporting my investment. They call frequently and walk through the details of the joint effort and progress of how my business dashboard is working. The team provides ongoing efforts to help me succeed. Yodle specialists call me from three different parts of the country and really seem know internet/mobile phone marketing techniques. The Yodle marketing personnel utilize cutting edge, evidence based approaches to make sales happen, especially with the growing mobile phone market. They are able to show how their system works to bring sales to my counseling business. After the first two weeks the returns have started to come in. Many people are now searching from their iPhone and it shows where Yodle has done their research to design the format for iPhone searches. I will need to make up my investment after the first three month contract and see where it goes from there.
