Yodle

They claim to manage your SEO and Website. They pretty much handcuff you to everything. They will mismanage your website, and flood umbrella content on your site that you do not approve of. (We are an Aesthetic Service, and they continued to advertise me as a Dermatologist) They say you can cancel at anytime but they force you to use their phone number they provide so you are tied to them.
Their hours to answer the phones are horrible. If you need a change to your website they will make the change, but they will not double check it.
They own your Google my business account and google plus page, but they lock it so you cant upload your photos. They honestly make everything really difficult. You are better off doing it youself. I would go godaddy with 24-7 support with people that know what they are doing and are a lot cheaper.
Yodle owes me thousands of dollars. Worst mistake I made opening my business. They teamed up with web.com or something, but Yodel will still suck. I took the time to write this, because they really are that bad.
Yodle is a total ripoff! Definitly STAY AWAY. You should actually send me 100$ as a gift for saving your $#*! for writing this.

I have been in the mortgage industry for a little over 14 years, and typically get a steady stream of solicitations from ad and lead companies. After trying several different programs over the years, I had pretty much chocked it up to the fact that ad and lead companies make their money whether I do or not, and I every time I would try one, I always felt like I got burned.

So when Scott from Yodle started calling me…. And kept calling me, I blew him off as just another ad company. Scott had said time and again: "You won't be disappointed. Try it for three months, if you don't like it or it's not working, you can cancel. There is no long term contract. You can measure the results and see how it is working for you."

I finally decided to take a three month run, expecting to see little to no impact. After dropping about $1,200 bucks in about 60 days, I have three deals. Two have closed with a total commission of $15,332, and one is pending for another $3,000. THAT'S what I call a great return! Seriously…these guys know what they are doing. The ocean is big, and there is plenty of business to be had…but only if people can find you! Make sure you have them work both the paid ads and the organic. I think you need both in order to achieve favorable short term and long term results. When you start getting new incoming calls, I guaranty you will begin to sit up in your chair and take note. You need to posture yourself for conversations to convert new incoming calls by establishing report and trust so you can increase your conversion rate.

Here's the key: If you do decide to try this, you better try to answer every call that comes in. Once I got a legit call, I began to pay close attention to incoming calls, whether it was a local or long distance number, because I soon realized the area codes that I did not recognize were often prospects that had recently moved into the area. If I do miss a call, I always call that number back as soon as I can. WARNING: If you are diligent and attentive, the name "Yodle" will make you some serious bucks…and may even make you want to stay in the business!

I wish i read this review site before i signed up with Yodle. I felt I needed help in this area and thought they would help increase my s. E. o. And web presence. I thought i would try it and spent over a 1200 a month. I gave it over six months and felt it was just getting my own customers to call me when they looked me up. Since they were searching the name of my business, i really didn't see the benefit. Hey, I am a big boy, I tried it, it didn't work. I understand so I called to cancel my contract. That is when the crap started. "sorry sir, you need to talk to that department and they are in a meeting", " we will call you back". No return call for three days, so I called again. Talked to someone and she told me they would cancel it. No problem right? Well go on your smart phone and Google "apple sport imports". That is my business. You will get what you think is my website and click it... now you go to Yodle.com! WTF. SO NOW WHEN MY CUSTOMERS LOOK FOR ME, THEY GO TO YODLE. THANKS YODLE. GLAD YOU GOT MY 7,000+ DOLLARS AND ARE NOW SCREWING ME OUT OF MY OWN CUSTOMERs. So now i get to spend my time emailing you, calling you, and posting reviews on every website and facebook, twitter page i can about them instead of trying to run a business. Also, I emailed and called the nice lady that helped me. NO RESPONSE. What a joke. Can't wait to hear what "jasmine" has to say.

I signed up for three month trial and have been completely dissatisfied. They create a mini site with a phone number they monitor. I immediately started getting calls from wrong numbers all over the country. By the end of three months, thanks to their online tracking system it is crystal clear that they really don't care much about customer service. Literally 90% of the calls I got were wrong numbers. The leads I got, which were few did not convert but I'm ok with that. Some things take time but a 90% failure rate because they assigned me a number with a history is unacceptable. When I demanded a substantial portion of my 1600 bucks back they offered my 92 bucks for the cost of the calls. They went on and on about all the work they'd done for me. Yesterday their rep claimed they had fixed the problem one month after I complained about it but had nothing to say about two more months of wrong numbers. At one point he actually suggested that I was getting calls from people in my area who had actually recently moved and that explained the phone numbers. So if you follow along here the calls I got, asking to speak to some other company entirely, on the other side of the country, were actually good leads. I think I paid more than enough money to test their claims and for me, saw a 90% failure rate. Then the rep tried to give me some baloney about how advertising works. Having been in the advertising business for about 25 years I had to explain to him that a 90% failure rate would actually not bode well for keeping a customer. I have been told numerous times that they attempted to contact me to address these issues but there are no voicemails or emails. Yesterday the rep told me he would get back to me in an hour and a half to address my complaint... nope, nada. No doubt there are happy customers out there or they would not be the size they are, but if you have issues I don't think you will be getting the support you expect or deserve.
