Yodle Reviews

Beware. They use very high sales pressure techniques and over promise results. When a Sales representative, talks to fast and to loud, be cautious. When they put you on hold multiple times like a Used Car Salesman, humming and hawing like they are doing you a favor by talking to Management, be cautious.

My Sales representative had his so called Manager call. I committed to 10 minutes and 45 minutes later, I was put on Speaker phone while his team behind him was snickering and laughing. I wouldn't have been surprised if the team had wagered on whether they would Close me when they had put me on hold.

Very Boiler Roomish and Unprofessional.

If what they promise you is to good to be true, it most likely is.

After spending more than $5000 with yodle, all we got was calls from outside our geographic area, we are a limousine company based in Austin, and the calls were coming from other states, also since we signed up with them, we start receiving a huge calls from marketings firms, we wer receiving about 10 calls a day from sales people in all kinds of businesses, mainly internet adverstising. When finally were tired of it, and we called to cancel, they did not want to do it, and they said they already paid google, Yahoo, bing, and 95 other search engines, and that we can not get any refunds at all. We were trying to get to talk to a supervisor for over 4 months, and no chance, at the end, and after the intervention of our lawyer, then they called us back, and gave us some phony explaination, and at the end refunded $800. it was a pure scam, and they did not even let us keep the website, they build for us, they said we can buy it from them for $3000. It was a waste of money, time and efforts, plus lot of frustruation, and anger over the whole period, I will never ever work with them, and I advise anyone thinking about working with them, to run away.

Yodle takes advantage of unsophisticated small businesses. They set up a separate website for small businesses, and then buys heavily marked up "pay-per-click" programs from Google and Bing. This separate website essentially competes with the existing website, and thus, the small advertiser ends up getting changed for traffic that would natually go to the existing website. Yodle "buys" the exact words of a search for a business (e.g. BRAKE MAX), and secures the top paid position on search. Essentially, Yodle's strategy is to "ambush" and charge for leads that would naturally be organic search traffic. There whole business model, and the Rip-Off of small businesses, is appalling.

I am a small business owner just starting a new business. I built my own website and was working my way on getting on the search engines to get noticed when I received a phone call from a sales rep from Yodle. I was promised they were the professionals to drive sales to my website. They had marketing people that were the best in their field that could make my small company show up on local searches.

After buying into the scam I gave my credit card number to pay for three months trial of 1647.00. They recorded only the last part of our conversation for me to agree to the terms. One month later I called and complained how the service is not working. I was not getting any calls; I am not getting any hits to my website that I built. I expressed that I do not find a value in the service and will not be renewing after the 90 days. They back tracked and tried to make changes to their website they built and said they will make changes to where the posts are and when. They even changed the name of my company on the websites they built because they said it confused people. I was not to worry because they will call my number.

I called again to tell them that all I am getting is hang up calls and people searching for hospitals. The changes they made did not work and I am not happy with the service. It is a complete waste of time and money I will not be renewing. They stated it was my phone tree (system) that is confusing this is why people are hanging up. At that point I came to the realization that I lost the 1647.00 and use it as a learning experience.

95 days later from the first phone call I have a charge to my AMEX for 549.00 from Yodle. I called and talk to their customer service who in turn patch me through to the highest manager available to help me with my dispute. He stated he needs to go back and listen to all the calls to verify I stated I wanted to no long extend my service. He called me back only to tell me that they have one recording of when I agreed to the terms and could see where I called in to tell them this is not working and is a waste of money. But for some reason there are only notes and it is not recorded. The person who put the notes in never put in that I no longer wanted the service after the 90 days.

He stated he cannot refund the money and that I have now OFFICALLY ended the contract so I won't be billed again!

Do not use this company, it is smoke and mirrors! He stated I will not get my money back and for me to have a great day. I wonder how many small business owners they have preyed on. Please consider a local college student to help you before you use Yodle.
