I payed for Yelp marketing. They boosted my business listing to the top of Yelp ads in a rotating fashion. They said I'd get X number of new clients each month based on some formula they used. Not only did I not get a single client in 6 months, but I didn't get a single phone call for new business. My other marketing avenues yielded results. Yelp did not.

Also, when you sign a 3 month contract it automatically rolls over into a month to month, which they don't tell you up front. If you choose a 3 month option make sure you actively cancel it one month prior to expiration. My suggestion is to avoid Yelp altogther.

I used Thumbtack successfully for over 2 years. In 2017 they switched to a new quoting method. After seeing a major slowdown in my business I tested Thumbtacks new method. If failed to send my information to potential customers even though I specifically signed up for that service. I asked for a refund and they provided a partial refund. Beware of Thumbtack.
