I have 10 reviews on Yelp. 8 are 5 star and 2 are 1 star. The 2 bad ones I never did work for. Yelp will not help remove bad reviews. Yelp has oppressed all 8 of my good reviews and only show my 2 bad reviews. So when you search for me on Yelp or search engines it shows I only have 1 star reviews. Which isn't true. I am 5 star on Google, bing and Yahoo on their review boards. I have 33 with them. I have no idea what to do to resolve. It makes no since yo me to show 2 bad reviews and hide the 8 good ones.

Yelp appears to me to be anti business - its one thing for a customer to post a negative review but when it come to lies slander and defamation they do nothing to remove the post. Additionally why is that some reviews are posted while others are not. By way of example I noticed on my business reviews that negative posts on one issue were posted and counted towards the businesses ratings yet positive reviews on the same issue were removed and not counted towards the business is ratings - totally unfair.

Additionally, yelp give bad legal advice to customers that post defamatory and slanderous comments - folks yes you can be sued for posting such comments on yelp and if those comments loose you business then that is actionable. However Yelp is protected and not responsible for such defamatory comments and reviews.

I have had multiple reviews on Yelp that they refuse to post stating they have no control over reviews only a computer makes that decision. So yelp wants you to pay them to push your site and then decides that your legitimate paying clients are not good enough to leave a review. Meanwhile most of the yelper that contact you only want quotes, they never speak to anyone about the service and you never hear from them again. The system is a scam. Save your money. They will lie to you on the phone and tell how great it is working. It does not.

Yelp attracts complainers. They also do not list all reviews, only the ones they say the computer selects. If you get reviews that are too good they deny them and do not post. They say that the computer can tell which ones are true. From experience I KNOW for sure that happy customers have posted reviews but they never appear, but if a customer has a complaint they go right to the top... A very interesting policy... It is also interesting that YELP itself has a 2 star rating... Also when calling YELP's customer service, they are totally powerless... Therefore, there is NO customer service!

Do not get sucked into Yelp's advertising scheme! They tell you that you have $100 credit, but lie about where to find all the charges adding into that amount. I canceled it with money to spare, as I thought, but they have hidden charges that added up behind the scenes! The sales persons walk you through everything, but they don't give the entire information. Just another fraudulent business! And, on top of it, the advertising didn't do a lick of good!

Monk Central was very professional to do business with. The products are of very good quality. Sturdy, well-constructed shirts with stitching one expects to last. Printing is excellent, evenly layered (not thin and quick to peel in places), and colors are as brilliant as in the ads. The only one criticism I had (which I reported) was that different styles did not always fit the same (A long-sleeve, long tail shirt fit amply whereas a short-sleeve, shorter tail shirt fit tight.) Without a notice in the catalog, this makes it difficult to place multiple orders without undue returns. All-in-all, I will continue to do business with them and recommend them to others.

I tried to post an honest review about a shady attorney named, Arlo Hale Smith, with a past state bar record and they keep hiding my review on the "not recommended" page. I guess Yelp didn't receive the memo regarding congress passing the Consumer Review Fairness Act which makes it illegal to not post honest reviews from consumers. Also, they don't have contact telephone numbers. Only telephone numbers for ad sales. Interesting...

Same thing as everyone else is writing. I was told to take advantage of $300 in free leads and that i could cancel at by just going to Yelp Ads Page online and "End Campaign". The funny thing is that i did that in February 2018. I totally discarded it. Then on my credit card statement i see a bill from Yelp for $863 for the month of March. I had to call in and talk to someone. Funny how this time while someone was on the phone with me, i got a confirmation email that the campaign was cancelled. I called the billing department twice and it's like they have a script in front of them. No one was willing or wanting to help me.
STAY AWAY!

Well. My first encounter with Yelp was through a company. Yelp wanted our business. We thought $350/MONTH for their services (it was never very clear what those services were until we turned down their aggressive offer and sales tactics) was pretty steep, so we respectfully declined... over and over and over again.

BEFORE YELP EXTORTION ATTEMPTS: we were seeing a good balance of reviews on our site, and really didn't see a need for the "service."

DURING YELP EXTORTION ATTEMPTS: I was harassed by salespeople on a daily basis, pressuring me to buy in. One person tried to educate me about my audience, and I had to correct some seriously skewed "data" he was spewing. That didn't go over well.

AFTER YELP EXTORTION ATTEMPTS: Amazingly, after I literally had to block calls from the salespeople, ALL of our good reviews were hidden and ALL of our bad ones brought to the front. Yelp blames it on "the bot! The bot did it! There's NO bias! We swear!" Yep. I'm pretty sure those noses don't fit in compact cars any more.

We started taking screenshots of hidden customer reviews and post them into our newsletters to thank customers for taking the time to write those reviews. We posted the good and the bad, because they're all valuable. Even more valuable when you can actually see them.

IN ADDITION, all of my own personal reviews on my own account (they knew my name, after all) disappeared from sight. Permanently. I had some really good reviews of some small businesses and they just magically disappeared after being there, many of them, for years. New reviews, old reviews, all gone. Poof.

So, in short, if I want to find out a restaurant's reputation or a company's cred, I look for google reviews. I don't trust Yelp to do anything but make me Yelp in pain.
