Me and a buddy decided we needed to seek advertising for our business. We shopped and compared who we were going to spend our advertising budget with. (YP, Home Advisers, Angie's List, or Google Ad words). We decide to go with YP because they offered us mobile and desktop advertising on a 6 month contract for a good price that covered a lot of area in our state.(Said for my service provided they get about 200-300 calls in my area per month) Once signed up and a week passed we had no calls or visits to our website. So I called my Sales Rep. Chadwick Saxxon to make sure everything was good on my advertising an make sure that I wasn't missing something. He said no it is just been a bad week to give it another week and then we will talk about credits and what we can do to make it better. So we waited another week. Still no call so I call Chadwick again. He said it is unusual not to have even one call with so many of there "impressions" on my advertising. He gets me in contact with a gentleman who is supposed to be his supervisor "Kirby". This guy tells me that my profile needs work because sum program gave my page a 45% on the content of my profile. So I go and fill out every box I can and wait another week. This week I received a call about sum order of aloe vera plants. I run a Roofing Company so it was a call not meant for me at all. After another week passes I call again and now I'm agitated because we have spent our money on advertising and it is getting us nowhere. I get a hold of Kirby and he says my profile needs more pictures than the three that are on there and that has to be the reason why I am not getting calls. So he says he will add sum stock photos and call me Monday to let me know how it looks. That was two weeks ago and I have called 3 times left Voice Messages every time. As well as filled a complaint and order to cancel my service with them. They have also more than double charged me this month for services on there Auto pay program conveniently the day after my cancel request.
Update: Kirby is not Chadwick's manager it is a guy named Marco, more lies from YP being uncovered

Hi Ray!

I am so sorry to hear about your frustration. I assure you, you are not being told lies. There is a ramp up period with every listing and it appears yours is in that same boat. However, I will reach out to Chadwick and Marco and see what is going on. I want to help you out and get you in the right direction. Please remember, we only succeed when you guys succeed, so we only want your advertising to be positive, otherwise, it does not benefit us either.

As I said, i am so sorry about this and I completely understand your frustration. If you could email me at socialmedia@yp.com, we can have a direct line of communication rather than here.

Thanks!
Scott

This is how they start out in their inital contact. They price their product based on what they see you could possibly earn because of each of the phone call you may get. The service reps are not there at the company for more than 2-3 months at a time. They cycle through reps quite often. Because these reps are under high motivational pressure to perform, they will tell you and do things they cannot really deliver. It was so bad, I was getting phone calls for taxi at 2:00 in the morning because the rep place my number on a rotating list to show I was getting calls, although the calls had nothing to do with what I do. They will build you a website which they own and they will optimize for you to get the calls as long you are with them. The moment you cancel, all the money you have spent has become vapor ware, because they own all the results which you have paid them for. Typically they want around $500 per month, and they want you to committ for at least six months and you owe them the funds if they perform or don't perform. Buyer Beware!

Useless website. I haven't had a single customer via yellowpages after several month of advertising.
