Yodle is a very user friendly site. For someone not as technologically advanced as the rest of the world, yodle's programs and system set ups were easy to follow. I have seen a dramatic increase in my business in less than two weeks.
I love the fact that Yodle is a one stop platform for updating all our advertising sites and it's super easy to use.
Seems to have great potential for automating marketing on line.
I have called yodle several times and I always get great service! I never leave with a sad feeling, always a great feeling.
I have been working with Yodle for 47 days. I really enjoy learning how to utilize all the services that yodle offers. It has been a huge asset to my company!
Thank you Yodle!
I had a difficult experience with Yodle and felt that I had not gotten the value that expected. Tiffany Hernandez was fantastic, patient, and reasonable.
I had an issue with my Google+ business page and my customer service rep with Yodle made a conference call and walked us through the process of making changes to my company profile page. He made a difficult task so easy. Thank you!
This company went above and beyond to make sure that my company was successful with their services. Yodle has helped market my business across he world. It is fast and easy use.
Yodle is super easy. Its one of our best marketing tools.
My initial discussion with Steve Grousnick was an exceptional experience.
He was extraordinarily helpful & knowledgeable.He not only dealt very effectively with all my concerns, but he was able to patiently help me understand some important marketing issues which should help promote my campaign.
Steve is a truly valuable asset to your customer care team.
I just finished my campaign review and Bonnie was excellent! She cover every item in the menu, walked-me throughout each step and was very patient
Ryan was very helpful today in explaining Rate a Biz reviews and the relationship between Yodle, Rate a Biz, Google+ reviews and Yelp reviews. He was very patient and understanding and worked with me on a variety of solutions for reputation management. Thanks Ryan!
I had an exceptional experience talking with Mr. Xavier Quiroz. He is a very gentle and competent person. The reason I first called was to complain about my Yodle Red & Blue website performance. But, Mr. Quiroz not only explain me my web site problems but, solve them. Additionally, he convinced me to spend some more bucks to improve the web site performance.
Thanks Yodle for having so good people in your team,
Ricardo
As an attorney who recently moved his law office after 17 years at the prior location, I was naturally concerned about updating my Yodle web site as quickly and as professionally as possible. I had two good experiences with Yodle. First, when I called them, I quickly got a hold of custormer service, and they were sympathetic to the importance of the matter and they made the changes as quickly and as professionally as possible. Second, today, I received a postcard from Bing asking me to verify the new address. Again, I called Yodle to assist me. Again, I was pleased that I got a hold of customer service very quickly. Jorge, the customer service representative, was knowledgable about Bing and gladly took the PIN number and said he would accomplish the verification. He was pleasant and comforting, and he understood the importance of verification. I feel like I am in good hands with Yodle.
These didn't stop bugging me to sign up with them. Forget that they didn't get me any results, but when I tried to access to my domain name they sold me they said they own it and I had to buy it back from them. Then it took them over 2 weeks to actually complete the transfer of the domain to Godaddy. The support team had no idea what they were talking about regarding technical knowledge and kept saying it was Godaddy's fault.
Dee Dee walked me through reviews and photo tab and assisted me more with getting to know the dashboard better
Our company has been very pleased with our Yodle experience. Each Yodle representative has been professional and thorough as they walked us through the set-up process.
Like many others on this site, my experience with Yodle began and ended with the initial sales call. The salesman (Mark Lee) had initially contacted me about growing a part of my business that is barely relevant to my business model (photography). I offer it as some clients using my main services (academic editing and ghostwriting) need access to professional quality photography for publications. I do occasionally shoot a wedding or event but it is not even a service that I really advertise (even on my website). Mark was belligerent and unyielding, not able to help me understand how Yodle could integrate their services into the larger scheme of my business. Every time I tried to move the focus to the larger picture (business integration) he returned to the photography only. During one of the interminable videos (seemingly staffed by paid shills) he discovered that Yodle could not really help me with the larger integration aspect of my advertising interest. Yodle does not have a category for academic editors, ghostwriters, and trade editors.
I was actually still interested in trying their service, even though they did not seem to be able to improve the integration elements between various aspects of my services, as a slight growth in the photography aspect would get me out of the office more often, until Mark simply began scheduling me for the next step before I had agreed to use their services. I do not do business with a company that is trying to get my credit card information before I have agreed to their services.
The salesman (Mark Lee) was uninterested in helping me understand the actual advantage that their business would give me, and every time I asked specific questions related to online services that my primary business simply would not use, he redirected to the photography element. He was not willing or able to address my concerns or my uncertainties.
This company is probably okay if you are primarily trying to get local clients and do not offer white-collar type professional services. I would stay away from them.
Hi Jerrid - thanks for your detailed feedback. We will review your call and discuss this with the sales management team. I'm sorry that there was a miscommunication about how we could partner with you. We do work with several photographers and other white collar professionals like dentists, lawyers and accountants (you can see some examples here: http://www.yodle.com/success-stories). If you're interested in learning more about how this could work for you, feel free to reach out to me at syvenna.siebert@yodle.com or 646-770-8974, and I'll introduce you to someone who can discuss this with you.
Thanks again for your feedback!

I own a web development firm and was introduced to Yodle from a client that I am the web manager for. Given my line of work, I have extensive experience in the world of SEO and page ranking. There are unfortunately a lot of shady companies out there that promise you the world and only end up performing well for the first month or so, then they push you to the side while you continue to pay monthly, Yodle is NOT one of these companies! The staff is extremely polite, knowledgeable and most importantly (in my opinion at least) all staffed in the US with clear and precise english speaking support when on the phone instead of outsourcing customer care, they handle it here in the US and keep our jobs here! Every rep I have spoken with has been great, especially the most recent I dealt with, Jaime Jimenez, I'd hire him myself in a heartbeat if he didn't already work for a great company;-) Overall, outstanding service that I would recommend to my closest friends and family. They offer the complete package with their pricing and service, this is seriously unbeatable program when compared with other services in the industry!
He walked us throughly over the website. He was very friendly and helpful. He gave us suggestions to make it better and gave us tons of suggestions. He was also very knowledgeable. Great experience.
Answer: I received a few leads that actually worked out. However, it wasn't enough to justify using them in the first place. The leads seemed to come in when I had signed up for their "google ads marketing" addition. So basically, the google ads provided 80%-100% of the leads, not Yodle. I Would've been better off spending my money on Google Ads written myself.
Answer: Yodle only cost me money and quite a bit of frustration! Tony
Answer: I have a spare wet-vac if you have extra cash laying about. Give me a call. It would be a better application of energy use.
Answer: Run Forest Run. They make promises. They will put wrong info on the web. Who spends 600.00 Before a return if you gat that. Run Forest Run
Answer: Dont do it.
Answer: If you get a website made. The search engine go by the 2nd letter in order for your site to be pulled up quickly. You would be better off doing your own social media marketing, joining the BBB and Y and white pages of phone book. Magnetic vehicle signs, etc. Need more free tips email me at rstoutmire@yahoo.com subject line Javier S. Contractor. Hope this help you but don't pay any company any money for any work. Rhonda S.
