Yodle

Run away now, save your money and your business. I signed up with Yodle and they promise to make your telephone ring. Be aware that a ringing telephone is not a client or a purchase. A general call for information that generates no income is still considered success in their eyes. The keywords they promise to rank page one as a part of their SEO package are not mainstream making it easier for them to get rankings while not improving your business bottom line. You can advertise with craigslist and its free with better results. In the end, you will be out a lot of money and nothing to show for it. There are better companies out there and you just have to take the time to research them. Consider the number of negative reviews and there is a reason for them. Stay away from this company as if it was the plague.

6 months and not a single qualified call. When I try to cancel they tell me to give it another month, so I do. Still not a qualified call. Then when I try to cancel they tell me I have to give them another 30 days notice even though I already gave them the notice. So I ask to speak to a supervisor and I get this email response from Jason.

"That is your choice. I am the supervisor and the buck stops with me.

Avoid these lying, cheating, people at all costs. Don't make the same mistake I did!

I have done marketing for my law firm via tv commercials, websites, and radio ads. Yodle is by far the best service that I have ever used. I will strictly use Yodle from now on. I have referred friends to use yodle as well. My law practice is booming and I have to thank Wes Curry for his great advice. Business could not be any better!

This company did not do what the promised to do. They did not deliver new business for me. I spent significant time doing things on my own that they represented would be done as part of their service. The made numerous errors. I cancelled my service after the initial 90 days and then they charged me another month because I didn't cancel before the date they said my contract renewed. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone.

Their latest scam seems to be preying on small businesses with existing Adwords accounts and making it sound like they are a division of google that works in "click fraud" and they will help you fix all the fraudulent click activity that you get from your competitors. When I asked if they are an actual subsidiary of google, they started back peddling and said they are a "PST" part of google and said that they are a "preferred partner" with google and that google actually works with them to get the latest "click fraud algorithms" from them (yodle). So I asked, google actually gets their own click fraud technology from yodle? "Well, I can't actually say that they use our technology, but we meet with them regularly to go over our stats". This smelled of BS on all levels. Stay away from these scammers!

We are a small service company and have used Yodle for a little over three months now and I have been quite impressed with the customer service. The package we were sold was exactly as explained by the salesman Josh. I was very skeptical at first but Josh convinced me to come aboard and give this service a chance. I think it took him almost 2 hours. We have spent a lot of money over the last 11 years with other companies to help optimize our customer base and create new ones through use of the Internet, but to no avail. We were always disappointed. I wish we would have known about Yodle back then it would of saved us thousands of dollars and countless hours of frustration. THANK YOU YODLE!

I can't rate their actual service, but when I get a call from a sales person trying to shove their service down my throat for an hour and doesn't take "no" for an answer, I quickly loose interest in their product/service. Unfortunately this strategy must be working for them as they do have many clients. In my case the harder they push the further away they get from the sale.

I received several calls from a representative asking to speak with my husband as he is the owner name on file. I asked several times what they were calling in reference to and was lied to every time. I was continually told they had questions regarding tree service, his abilities to provide certain services and scheduling availability. I told them I could answer all of those questions and he still refused to talk to me. Finally I straight out asked "Are you calling from an advertising agency?" He still did not want to answer my questions. Lying to the office manager/owner to make your way to the owner is NOT the proper way to conduct business. Why would we want to deal with a company who lies from the very first phone call? With the amount of calls I take daily, he could have stopped wasting my time and his by being honest. It is a disgusting tactic to use to obtain customers. I will be letting everyone I know who owns businesses NOT to deal with this dishonest company.
