“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.

I wanted more visibility for my company and Yodle promised they could make that happen. I already have a website that I paid to have built and it's pretty good, just not very visible. They didn't want anything to do with it - they "built" another "website" that was so generic it looked like a 3rd grader did it. After thousands of dollars, many calls to Yodle and NO legitimate business leads, they told me that I was in a very competitive market, the lack of success was my fault (I needed to build THEIR website with reviews and pictures) and said there was nothing else they could do. When I told them I was disgusted with their lack of attention to my account, they said they would be OK with them if I terminated our relationship. I should have trusted the reviews I read about what a sham this company is... You should too. If I could, I'd list my phone number and ask anyone who is thinking about signing up with these yo-yo's to call me first...

So far so good. Dashboard is easy to use. Customer service has been very helpful. Also the weekly lessons to help you get started has been great. I have not got any business yet, but I see my website move up on search pages and I am getting interest on my website. SO I am happy so far.

Today, my partner and I spoke with Jared with Yodle. He walked us through setting up our account through Yodle. He was very friendly, personable and informative. He made it very easy for us to go back through, on our own, and update information on our account. He also explained to us how to use our account in a way that was easy for us to understand. We really enjoyed our conversation with him. Also, we really look forward to using this service and can see where it will be a great asset to our company.

Yodle has been working for me! My call volume has really picked up and I have a better web presence. And I like the fact that I can call and actually speak with someone whenever I need to. Yodle has become a trusted, vital key component in our company and it saves me a lot of time to focus on other things. THANK YOU YODLE.COM!

I am a new customer of Yodle and just completed the online session to create our website and learn all the features of Yodle's marketing program. I am impressed with the professionalism of the staff and the completeness of their web marketing capabilities. It is providing me with all the tools I wanted and several more that I didn't know about. I am very excited about our new web marketing program. I believe it is going to be a big success.

I have been working with Yodle for years and have always been happy. There is a personal connection with my marketing consultants and I always have someone to talk with about my account. They always follow-up when they say they will and keep me up to date on the new features with the product. Without even requesting it, they are constantly coming up with new ideas for better results. I have already recommended many others and will continue to do so!

Yodle wasn't for me as it turns out. I need my own website marketed since I've had it for 20 years. However, I want to say that their customer service was the BEST ever. They answered my calls quickly and always helped me very curtiously. I am using another avenue to boost my presence on the web. But, their customer service is great!

I was told they would keep up with my facebook, twitter, and google account, but I had to post the pictures and write something. So I paid them to WATCH my account rather than update it. They are sorry. They took control of my google page and pointed it towards there website instead of mine and change the phone number so they would get credit for all the calls. I was so pissed, I canceled that day. Ye be warned!

Hi, Jon – I read your review and I’m very disappointed to hear about any disconnect you felt there may have been between expectations we set during the sales process and the service you received. That is never our intention and while our services do require a commitment of time, there is no excuse for a lack of communication. We take this kind of feedback very seriously and please know that I will be passing it along to the appropriate channels. If you have any further information that you would like to share personally with us, please feel free to contact me directly at Jessica.mcginn@yodle.com or 646-753-6362. Thank you for your time.

I appreciate having friendly customer service
But I appreciate more having someone that can relate
And break the monotony of rehearsed customer
Service jargon.
Miles completely did that for me.
Hope she can help me with my business in the future.

Yodle makes us first on searches That makes it easier to find us on the internet. It even helps with our current customers. When they look up our number they just see us and they’re not reminded of our competition. Yodle covers us.

I am 19 days into my "Yodle Experience" and I am impressed. I have received weekly calls (which I schedule for my convenience) to guide my through how to optimize my presence in my market via Yodle. All three representatives have been insightful, friendly, and really helped me understand the potential of Yodle. I am highly impressed with the aggressive manner in which I am able to reach out to my existing contacts as well as attacking new business with not being over bearing. In retrospect I wish I didn't deter Yodle as long as I did because I would already be way ahead of the game.

The customer service with Yodle was exceptional. The program is easy to use. The customer care team was superior. I needed some extra help on the use of my site and Bonnie Jenkins walked me through step by step.

I would recomend this to any small business owner.

We have been with Yodle / Google since July 2014. We have received several telephone calls - and we have closed three (3) contracts - one of the jobs will finish this week. One of the jobs will start this week. The third job should start next week. We are pleased with the quality of the calls we received - we are currently talking with three other possible contracts - one looks very promising. Homeowners who make the telephone call to us are looking for someone to do the work and tend to be serious about having work done. Now that we are closing one job - we look forward to additional telephone calls and the opportunity for additional projects.

Tip for consumers:
We recommend that the site include as many pictures of previous projects as possible. Also, the site should include all four and/or five references that are available.

I’ve been getting a lot more calls since using Yodle. I like that I can track everything, see where the calls are coming from and follow up on any calls that I miss. What I like the best is that the team is always trying to encourage me and give me new ideas to try; they want me to be the best out there.

Bonnie Jenkins gave me a tutorial on the Yodle Dashboard, something I wasn't looking forward to, as software is often confusing and made as difficult to use as the designer can possibly make it! But Bonnie very clearly, and patiently showed me exactly how to use the Yodle Dashboard. She did an excellent job, and I soon discovered that this particular program is very easy to learn how to use. Very easy and very functional. They actually thought through the process of designing something, and making it for the consumer, and not just for techno
Experts. Thank You Bonnie and Yodle for giving our company this powerful tooll. John with Lighthouse Moving

Within 48hrs Yodle.com had a professional website up and running for our Pest Control Business and within the first week, we gained 3 new clients!

We thought about designing a new website and optimizing it on our own, but it would have taken months to complete and most definitely wouldn't have been as thorough as the one Yodle created!

Our quick success in our first week has us motivated and excited for our bright future and growth.

We recommend Yodle to any company they can help as it's the fasted, most effective way to gain new customers/clients NOW!

In the first week of service, I already have more than a dozen new contacts and enough new business to pay for two months of Yodle Service. Every single person I have been in contact with has been professional, knowledgeable, and just fun to talk to. I cannot say enough good things about Yodle at this point. Love it, love it, love it!

Been with Yodle about 2 months and I have to say it has definitely ramped up our online presence. We are a small business that gets most of our business from word of mouth, so when people call us they already know what they want. Now, we are getting customers that have never heard of us so we are definitely having to sharpen our sales techniques and we are seeing new business. I like being able to listen to the phone calls so I can fix common problems I hear over the phone. So far so good!

The difference between calls from other advertising and yodle calls is that yodle calls are customers that know what they want and exactly what my business can provide. Yodle explains my business effectively in their advertising. They also optimize my website on mobile devices which is much needed! The account reps are great too. They actually want me to succeed and they encourage me to use the dashboard and rate my calls.
