I find it interesting that for an advertising company that claims to optimize google search results, their own "organic" ranking lists all the sites that have bad reviews first!
The sales agent was clearly working off a script. Before setting up his call, he didn't even Google our company name to check our website.
Also, we told him on several occasions we were VERY happy with our website, and it was optimized for viewing on a smart phone. He continued on his pitch about an "adversite". Ugh.
We also raised the issue that we in no way wanted a separate phone number to steer traffic from THEIR "adversite" (which we didn't need anyway!) and that our cell number was our primary contact, as we are a "Mom and Pop" Contracting business that has to answer calls from the job site.
Basically, trying to sell us a Cadillac when we needed a scooter. He did give me great marketing ideas, though. Thanks Yodle!

L m. – this is Radley Moss, Director of Corporate Communications at Yodle. Thanks for your comments. I thought though it may be helpful though to clarify a couple of things on how we work.
We highly recommend to clients that Yodle set up an adversite for them. We customize our adversites specifically to maximize conversion and have consistently found that they deliver the best results to our clients. However, we do still work with some clients that prefer for us to drive traffic to their existing website.
Additionally we have thousands of clients that spend the majority of their time on a job site, so we know the importance of being able to answer calls from a cell phone. We regularly set up our tracking numbers to automatically forward to a client’s cell phone number. We provide these tracking numbers so that our clients can easily and transparently track the ROI they are receiving in their personalized dashboard.
I’d be happy to discuss any additional questions you may have about Yodle and am glad that at least you got some great marketing ideas from your conversation with us. You can contact me at rmoss@yodle.com or 212-542-5449.
Thank you,
Radley
