Yelp for Business App 12+

I’m taking yelp out for a test run to see exactly what it is it’s all about. After going with the nurse said other companies that use leads and customer service as their expertise to bring you more work more opportunity and more people to you through via Internet and paying through the nose for leads that 1 million other people get to first that may not even get looked at by me or have already been accomplished and them not doing their part by clicking hired somebody. We’ve all been there if we use apps like this. So far very happy with the YELP and have only been using them for a week as of November 13 but I spoke with customer service about a few things that I had on my mind and they were excellent with the help and it looks like the system that I’ve got in place will tell you just how your doing. I love how they have a budget to set up and they don’t call you and bother you with all these promises to give you. It looks like everything that sit out there mathematically they will show you through graphs or other means to keep you informed at what it is exactly that your business is doing. So far so good thank you yelp

I like yelp and I like reviewing businesses and I thought it would be cool to have my business on yelp but I was wrong. I keep trying yelp ads and I keep getting sold yelp ads by these people who work for yelp, but it’s always the same thing. I have people who are “interested” but then when I respond to them I never get anything in response back. I’m actually not convinced that they are even real people who are reaching out to me. They even make their phone number available and when I call it goes straight to voicemail. I never receive any kind of information or any kind of response from these “people“ meanwhile yelp continues to charge me more and more money. It is a complete waste of money and I feel like I’m continuously being scammed. Then when I go to exit the yelp ads, it takes so long for me to cancel and they keep on offering me more and more deals to stay when they’re just trying to get more money with nothing in return. I don’t know if this is worked for other people, but this is definitely not worked for me and you think I would’ve got it the first time, but this is now the fourth time that money has been taken from me by yelp ads with nothing in return, I have seen not one person, come from yelp even though yelp has claimed that I have over 60 leads. Yelp ads has generated “60 leads“ but I have not seen one person in my doors or even respond back to me.

This review is long overdue. I have aHandyman in inland empire so cal area. Pros you get what you pay for in ads back if you are using them correctly. Something I had to learn a few months in. I have a website and yelp was sending reason to my website when I didn’t want traffic to my website I don’t well items on my website. I need phone calls and messages. Now for the list of cons. Yelp will send you work for doors 3 weeks then windows, then furniture assembly . They will send leads to you even if you don’t do it have them marked off on your page. Yelp will also mess with the algorithm one day you will get 10 messages the next 3 days nothing. When you try to post pictures or videos Yelp doesn’t upload them. The notification are a hit or miss. I check Yelp hourly, there’s plenty of times where it says I had a message delivered 9 hrs ago. When I open the app hourly and nothing is posted. This affects your response time and ability to gain future leads and prospects. When you email customer support no response at all. How ever if you call and want to increase your monthly budget all sunshine and rainbows. Unfortunately for what we pay for the past three months have not been great at all. Only a handful of jobs through Yelp. We are starting to look into Google and other platforms now. I hope this helps anyone thinking of doing ads on Yelp
