Yodle

Yodle has been the best marketing tool I have used. Easy and affordable! I was able to keep track of all my customers and all potential clients with a click of my mouse or on my phone.
Everyone is looking on line for services so Yodle keeps it quick and easy. They deliver exactly what they say they will. I worked with their members personally to ensure my vision got promoted. When I called, I spoke to a live person.
After 19 years of small business operations, I have tried all areas of marketing and this has been the best. Thank you Yodle!

Stay Away! - The absolute worst advertising decision I ever made. Unfortunately I signed a 3 month contract and the very minimum budget option you can choose is $500.00 a month with a $57 account management fee. So far I have spent over $900.00 for a total of 139 clicks and 4 contacts that resulted in no business leads. What a joke and a waste of money. I can't wait for my three months to end and I have already contacted Yodle and requested that my account be cancelled at the end of my contract. Go elsewhere if you are looking for results because they will promise the sky while delivering nothing in return, leaving you looking skyward while they take your money.

Initially, we mostly used Yodle for work in the winter time when our own leads would go down. They would get us enough work to fill the gaps. Diana, our consultant, has been really good to work with. I’ve had 3 reps overall and they’ve all been able to answer my questions. As far as features, the client dashboard is cool because I can look at the map and see where my leads are coming from. Eventually, were able to buy out our competitors because we saw the location the calls were coming from. We can listen to every call that comes through from Yodle and analyze them on the dashboard too which is definitely a feature we enjoy.

I reached out to Yodle because I was doing Google Adwords on my own and it took up so much time. I really needed a company to take that additional workload off. I’m extremely happy that I went with them. We’ve been with Yodle for a few years now and I’d say about 80% of my business comes from them. And as a high-end landscape design company, we’re easily generating tens of thousands of dollars each month. What’s best though is that while Yodle markets my business, I can focus on what matters – managing my business.

I've used similar companies for marketing in the past that had me paying for my own customers calling and just taking over my domain name. I was reluctant to use yodle because I thought they would be like the others, but that's not how yodle works. They work in conjunction with my own marketing and are far more effective. They customized our website for our practice, provided more exposure on search engines, and helped us get calls that are out of reach of other kinds of advertising. Yodle does an excellent job at marketing exactly how my practice needs.

I really let my guard down and bought into their sales pitch that more leads would be generated to my law office. They require you to sign a three month contract. The salesman claimed that based upon prior experiences with other law firms I would bring in at least one new file a week. My bad for trusting what he was saying.
The website they produced was anything but impressive. They then cut and pasted from my existing website. The marketing consultant told me to give it time, although it was clear it was going no where. After one month I requested to cancel in exchange for receiving one moth credit (paying for two months and only utilizing one). They said no... give it more time. I now have two weeks left and have been told that I have $600.00 in ad credits. I asked to cancel and simply receive a $600.00 credit. Again, they were uncooperative.
Save yourself the trouble and do not fall for their sales pitch. It was an expensive lesson learned!

I have been reading all these negative reviews. What these so called business owners don't understand is patience for one and make sure your website stands out. I have been with yodle for 3 years now. It takes about 2 months to start seeing results. Below is the revenue that Yodle has produced for our Company over 3 years.

Year 1 = $38,281.21
Year 2 = $91,407.23
Year 3 = 489,812.09

This is just with Yodle. These numbers don't lie. The people complaining are either lazy or clueless how to run a company. We probably have a lot of there customers.

Every time I have had a need regarding my partnership with Yodle my experience with their customer service team has been outstanding. Most specifically a lady by the name of Michele whom I had the pleasure of working out some issues and changes I needed made. Not only was she professional but she was also very down to earth and even had a great personality which made our conversation fun. She made me trust in the fact that they truly are The right partner for me.

I was contacted by a Yodle rep today and asked to take a meeting to explain to me how they could help "drive business to our car dealership". When I asked if there were other dealerships in my area (or the country) that they have had success with the rep could/would not provide any references. After that the rep became short and condescending with her sales tack as though I was incapable of understanding the services that they offered and the value they would bring. Lack of credibility and evasiveness when asked a direct question is the quickest way to lose my interest. Well done Yodle rep!

So far using yodle has been an extremely easy experience. I find the staff to be thoroughly helpful as well as knowledgeable. Of course I have just set the system up and can not give an endorsement on the products value in relation to my company until it's proven itself a viable option. I can say that I see this being a valuable asset to the development of my web presence so long as they can deliver everything their platform seems to encompass.

We are a small property management company and wanted to grow our business by getting more rental property owners to sign up with us. Yodle cold called and after hearing their pitch we decided to give them a try. After three months we did receive calls but all were from renters looking for properties NOT property owners looking for a property management company. Yodle could never figure out how to make this work. One Yodle rep told us they are having the same issues all over the country. You'd think they would figure this out before taking $1800 of our money for nothing. Would not give us a refund. We were totally disappointed with the results.

Have used yodle for 2 years and have had poor results. When you have a problem they duck and dive for cover will rarely return phone calls or emails and are full of empty promises. I have now gone through google adwords direct at a fraction of the cost manage my own campaign with great results. You can set it up on the net yourself or ring one of there consultants and they will help you get started. Twenty dollars set up fee you control the budget. Have been with them a month now and have spent $60 and am very happy. Good Luck
