Yelp for Business App

Nothing special here, but there are bugs that create concern. I don’t accept cryptocurrency, have changed my business profile to match, but the change does not stick. Also, I did select to have my address not displayed because I do not have a storefront, and all of my business is done at customers addresses, and that too does not stick. Finally, my business name changed recently but is still listed on the www as both. So I claimed the second spelling and it has become the default account. I keep getting alerts to “add business hours, or add a picture.” I don’t need/want double the work to be on yelp and wish there was a simple way to “link” the “locations” so they showed the same thing, but I cannot find a chat, email, or phone number to use to communicate with anyone at Yelp. So...three stars seems fair.

I am extremely disappointed with Yelps services for business owners. I got on the platform because as a consumer I often use it to find services I need. It’s a great user platform but you Yelp people are robbing business owners of everything. I can’t even choose my own profile picture without paying you at least $30 a month. I was not paying for services so all the reviews I was getting kept hiding. I added ad services and then my reviews started to magically show up. I decided yesterday to decrease my spending on Yelp as I am effectively paying for 9 other contractors to be showcased on my page unless I pay another $300 a month plus with the slowing season it just made the most sense. Today I see that all of my 7 reviews have magically gone away since I decreased my spending budget. Well Yelp, you won’t be getting any more money out of me. I appreciate the services, but you are charging for EVERY Little thing and currently I am not seeing my return on investment , I’m surprised you don’t charge to log in. This is terrible if you are a small business owner wanting to spend no more than $500 per month. Google charges less, gives me more bang for my buck, a free website, free posts, free picture arrangement and almost 3 times the clicks as Yelp and they don’t advertise for 9 other people on my page. 1 star only because I could not leave less.

As a business owner you folks call my store 2 to 6 times a week. We have a store number and a number to reach for advertising and business related issues. My employees don’t know my business and I like to keep it that way including advertising. You have those numbers but you never use them. When you email my monthly report it doesn’t compare to the volume I get traffic wise from google and I don’t pay them a dime. Yet I control what is posted and listed unlike with y’all. The reviews I receive from customers are spam from other businesses like mine. All I need to do is follow their former reviews and I can see for myself. I will notice the folks that use you mostly are those from out of the country touring the us and they don’t make my business my locals do, or the college students that are foreign. Again folks that don’t make my bank. Today’s social media outlets are putting applications like Yelp out of business. So it’s time for you to either update your product or put it to rest. The majority of folks are not using your product. The next numbers don’t compare to others out on the market who are doing it for free and if I want to boost my advertising I do for free is still cheaper and goes further for much less at a much lower price then you.

I listed my business on yelp and immediately started getting scammers CONSTANTLY calling me. I finally couldn’t take it anymore and changed my number. After a while I regretfully listed my new number thinking that since it had been a while maybe I wouldn’t have the same problem.. that was yesterday and I’m already getting the same scammers calling again and this time they tried to act like a customer and wanted to set up an appointment. I immediately knew what was going on and told them I wasn’t taking any appointment. After taking down a name, I asked if the number they were calling from was a good number and they said yes. After hanging up with them I tried calling the number.. and of course it’s not a working number. I call yelp and they refused to take my information down even though my listing was new and had no reviews, so they are not helping me with my very obvious safety concerns! I’ll be making a police report and also putting in how YELP evidently doesn’t care about the safety of their customers. Do not list with these people as they aren’t a safe company to advertise with.

They call you constantly to pay for ads, and are really rude. My boss owns a small business, when I spoke to a rep and told him I can’t make business decision he still wasted my time on his spiff. Then I had customers to attend to, and told him I was busy. Did he care nope still kept in talking! My boss came back and customers were waiting why? Because I was busy talking to a yelp rep, that would not stop with telling me about yelp. Bad business for small business people. I decided to give yep a try.. Sales representatives promised me the world and when I asked how much he could not give me a answer. Said he will contact me before I get billed. I have a number to contact him with but always get a voice mail. Yelp don’t want to cancel my account. Careful when you place you credit card on file. Once you do that it’s over, you agree to pay what ever they bill you. I had to cancel my credit card to stop the payment. I got som much runaround just to cancel my account I decided to just go to my bank. That was way faster. Thank you Yelp for making my business harder. Never Yelp agin!! Google it!!
