Sat through part of a sales presentation with a gentleman with an interesting name. If you've ever sat through a timeshare sales meeting, you will be in familiar territory. As soon as I started asking questions the presentation and rapport fell apart. Ask them for phone #'s of clients in your industry who can attest to their program. See what happens. The call was ended with the sales guy telling me, "When you're ready to take control of your client base, you have my contact info." The fact is that their model is bad and can damage any legitimate SEO efforts you've already made.
And just look at the astroturfing on this review site. Someone logs in almost every day to give 5 star reviews that sound nearly identical. Look how many mention "Diana" or the word "skeptical". They need to hire a separate company to do the copy writing for their reviews.
Hi David – my name is Radley Moss. I’m Yodle’s Director of Corporate Communications. Would you mind contacting me at either rmoss@yodle.com or 212-542-5449 to let me know who you spoke to on our sales team? It sounds like the rep behaved unprofessionally and we will take action if that is the case.
Additionally, I want to assure you that all of the positive reviews listed on Sitejabber are from our clients. You can also find testimonials from other customers on our website at http://www.yodle.com/success-stories that attest to the success they’ve enjoyed with our SEO offering as well as the rest of our marketing platform. As a business, we would certainly never engage in the practice of posting fake reviews about Yodle on Sitejabber.
Thank you,
Radley
