The thing i like best about Yelp Advertising is that it is a well.known company that reaches local business and companies. They are big name and compare to many competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price to advertise is still overly higher than others, I feel as though if the company looks into this it was improve Yelp Advertising. It shouldn't be a big adjustment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Never experienced worse customer service in my life. A $400 campaign was run and I was charged $106 without my knowing. Not only that, the campaign resulted in 1 map view… 0 leads, 0 clicks to my site, and I was told I would not be refunded the $106 that was sneakily taken from me. This is the worst service I’ve ever received in my life, and until it changes this review will not be changed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything, the worst product I've ever used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. They are an absolute scam and should be avoided at all costs. They'll pressure you to sign up and promise you ad credit, but they still charge you and claim the ad credit was additional money they "paid" for your advertising. Complete and total fraud.

Everything. Their whole system is designed to simply scam you out of money. They make big promises and do not deliver. When you call to complain, they basically tell you tough luck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing at all crap support crap leads robot-like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Leads are fake all canned avatars and people that are not in the region or at times even in the state. Stick with Google Ads their CPA is high as hell and fake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was nice to create a custom profile and ads to reach homeowners. We were able to post pictures of our work, highlight logo and create custom ads along with a budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All the traffic we got was from our organic presence, not our paid efforts. We wanted to use it for leads of homeowners vetting businesses. Ideal for us b/c we have a quality product and good reputation. It did notyield any significant results or leads. Ran thru budget quickly and then you'd be asked to restock the budget.

The intent of their traffic is to spend money. They are looking for a personal trainer, restaurant, accountant, preschool etc. They are in the final stages of choosing a place usually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The sales reps are borderline extortion artists. They sometimes come at you with veiled threats about your reviews getting filtered if you don't play ball. Not to mention, they call you all hours of the day and night. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
