Complaint

Common complaints

  • Poor Lead Quality and ROI
    • I have been on yelp biz for 2 years as a business owner and yet I have not received a single lead.
    • Most of these leads dont respond. And unless you pay a premium, Yelp will bury you under competitors pages.
  • Aggressive Sales and Billing Practices
    • They just steal your money for nothing just fake leads and they call you everyday non stop
    • BEWARE OF FREE TRIAL SCAM!!! ... Come back Mar 8th to a charge of $169 on my credit card.
  • Review Manipulation
    • Yelp has taken every good review of mine down. Maybe if I paid for their services maybe they would allow for it to stay.
    • Only boosts one star reviews for small businesses unless you PAY for good ones
