Yodle

So earlier today (12/1/15) I finally had time to have a chat with a sales rep after missing him a few times. We went through the video and so on and it seemed like it could benefit my new business but some things I didn't agree with. For example, I have a website that is already managed and designed by a very great company. All updates, designs, apps, etc are done by them. All I have to do is email them or call and tell them what I want for and all I do is pay $40 per month--No Contract. They wanted to give me a mini site but I wondered what the benefit of this would be because he mentioned I could be on the first page of Google but I stated that I was already on the first page of Google for most keywords, also I mentioned that I was already optimized for mobile which he said the mini site would be. None of this stuff I need. Do I need traffic? Yes, of course. Do I need to spend more a month? No, I do not.

Yes, I have to do a lot of marketing and other stuff on my own but its ok because no one knows my business like me. When I deem it necessary to have the responsibly of some jobs outsourced I will but not putting me in a worse financial position.

I own my own domain via 1&1 and just have it routed to my website through the companies servers but if I go with my website I keep my domain because I still own it. Why offer someone a website they don't need?

One thing that didn't sit well with me was when I asked the rep, "What would happen if the company didn't deliver what they promised? Because I can not afford to spend money and it not bring me a return." He first acted as if he couldn't really hear me because he was more than likely thrown off by the question then he repeated the first half of what I ask. I repeated the question and he said they would not want to keep me in an agreement if its not mutual but I would have to pay the startup fee (which is currently being waived) just to be let out of the agreement.

Think I can update my listings for free like Ive been doing.

I was called many times and already had advertising so didn't need there help. Still calling and calling never listening to me as if things would change in 24 hours. I had a real bad experience with my pay per click advertising. Would find by early morning I was all clicked out for the day. Then guess who calls again, you got it yodle. Salesman says using yodle will improve my business by 10 to 20 thousand per month guarantee. Said you won't experience click bombing by people trying to click you out so you get no business. Hold on here now how did you know I'm being clicked out I never told you this was happening. If your reading this do you see who is the culprit. Now I figured I'm screwed unless I advertise with them or they will just click bomb you. They said you can use your own web site you had and nothing will change, not true they want $3700 down for 3 months and say they will design a web site for you because they know business. Guess again they suck I wanted out they lied and I had calls coming from areas I said I don't go. Then 3 weeks in to this they say my check was bad. I've never bounced a check in my life and know what I had in that account. They start saying or should I say accusing me of passing bad checks. Bank said there full of it and they were given the correct routing number. I read this number back to them 5 times. I'm so glad they wrote it wrong and after that I said piss off. Thank god I'm not burned for my money by there mistakes. The bank was called and made damm sure they couldn't get a dime from me after that crap. Called my friends at the FBI and other places I won't discuss but they would charge them if they touch my account. I'm pleased to say when I go back to advertising guess who is going to be watched for violating fraud laws by click bombing a business to destroy it for personal gain. You got it. Yes security can be placed on my Google account and yes they an watch when and who is doing this. Love to see them do it again. Yodle can find themselves in a prison cell if they mess with me again. I hope everybody learns from this and what an incompetent business yodle is. Don't ever use them and if you are getting clicked out on pay per click guess who is doing it!
