Awful company
Awful company. Complete scam of a business model. They hustle small business owners to pay a premium subscription for something they can control. This should be illegal.
Yelp over regulates and gets it wrong
Yelp over regulates, offering zero options to clarify. Specifically, I am a former owner of a business. The business changed hands and eventually the name changed. After my time as the owner, I became a customer. I left a positive review. Yelp has removed my valid review, and chosen to insist that I still manage the page, even though I have not for several years. I have notified them numerous times that I am no longer the manager of this business. To no avail. Why can I not easily sign off as manager? Why is there no inquiry form, to clarify? The over regulation actually makes Yelp less accurate and reflective of the truth.

How can it be legal for the Yelp Mafia…
How can it be legal for the Yelp Mafia to do what they do? This needs to stop. @Google can you help? Ja. They control the reviews based on whether or not people pay them.
They removed my account for speaking…
They removed my account for speaking the truth and complaining about my experience with bad businesses and they accused me of having multiple account which I don’t. Idk it’s ok for businesses to mistreat and they don’t care. Idk yelp isn’t as great and resourceful as it supposed to be . Bad app.
Advertising Misinformation
"I have serious concerns about the professionalism and stability of this company. During my interactions with their staff, I experienced abrupt disconnections and a distinct lack of customer service skills. The reliance on company policies as justification for their actions, instead of demonstrating ethical conduct and integrity, is troubling.
In an era where misinformation is a significant issue, it is essential to consider the impact of platforms that disseminate inaccurate information. While Yelp and its employees may have certain protections, the CEO should take responsibility for overseeing a platform that contributes to bullying, harassment, and even death threats directed at individuals, businesses, and families.
As a business owner with autism who has been involved in online legal disputes, I can attest to the fact that Yelp's policies facilitate harassment and make it easier for people to target me through phone calls. It took a full year for them to correct a simple spelling error, changing "Universiy" to "University." This demonstrates a lack of attention to detail and a disregard for accuracy.
I strongly advise against using Yelp for business purposes or sharing any personal information on their site. They fail to disclose that inaccurate information cannot be removed, and they have policies in place that protect the dissemination of misinformation. This is unacceptable and goes against the principles of truth and fairness.
My experience of being hung up on and told to be quiet by Yelp employees, which I have recorded, is indicative of a larger problem within the company. Yelp should seek legal counsel to address these issues before they face financial consequences due to their negligent practices.
Yelp INCORRECTLY collects business listings and does NOT correct them. They only ask for more money.
Yelp does not respond to business owners. It INCORRECTLY collects information from online business websites and invites people to write a review. Then they set up business listings in their database INCORRECTLY by linking two similar-sounding names into one business profile!
When people leave poor reviews on a WRONG business (sharing similar names), Yelp does not do anything to correct their errors.
Then Yelp hires salespeople to harass business owners to buy their ad campaign.
I will never recommend Yelp for anyone or for any business! They are scammers and polluters of the internet space!
Don't do it. Scam artists. Stole my hard earned money
Canceled my account mo tha ago because of no leads produced. They just hit me for 270$ 3 months later. This is bad business practices. Purely FRAUD. Please please do not use this company they scammed me for mo ths before I realized. This is my experience with them I wish I wouldve seen the reviews before I bought into this scam. I drank the coolaid you dont have to. Please BEWARE BEWARE. BEWARE. THEY HAVE 1 STAR FOR A REASON
Nerfing your own web page to force…
Nerfing your own web page to force people to download a app is some shady business.
They make attention to detail
Outstanding experience! exceeded my expectations with their exceptional service and attention to detail on Yelp. Highly recommend!
Waste of money
Waste of money for businesses looking to advertise. I set a $450 a month budget, they used over 300 in less then 2 weeks then sent me another bill for an extra almost 300. So $600 and I didnt get a single customer. Waste of time. Ill make sure to print a few copies of the new bill to wipe.
Bad experience with a Dental Office
I made an appointment to have my teeth cleaned at Aspen Dental in Columbia Tennessee. I explained to the call center that I had recently moved from out-of-state, and was overdue for a cleaning. I also explained that as a disabled veteran, I am able to get dentistry done at the VA, but couldn't get an immediate appointment for cleaning, and need that done as soon as possible.
When I checked in for the appointment the receptionist said that "as a new patient" I would have to have x-rays, exam and a treatment plan before I could schedule a cleaning. I told her what I had told the call center when I made the appointment, but she said, so sorry but we don't just do cleanings for new patients.
Aspen Dental should provide the same service as is promised by their call center. When talking to the call center, I was very clear that I just wanted a cleaning. However, the office insisted upon a more compete service (for additional fees).
If I could give them 0 stars I would
If I could give them 0 stars I would. Yelp is nothing but a money grabbing team of representatives doing absolutely all they can to get you to pay for ads through them. All you’ll get is telemarketers from other companies trying to sell you on seo optimization services, while yelp is charging you for those incoming calls. Hate yelp, don’t ever get close
Fred Meyer Jewelers on Market Street
I went to Fred Meyer Jewelers on Market Street Salem Or. Tried to by a watch. Their card system failed to complete the sale. But my bank paid them. Told me would be fixed on Monday. They didn't bother to try. Told me to come back Tuesday.I told them i was mad as this was well out of my way. Tuesday they threw me out of store said talk to corporate. Corporate said couldn't help me without transaction number store wouldn't give me. Told to go back to Store, went to store was told it was all taken care off money should be in my account. Three more calls to corp. and one more visit to store and a call to main Corp number, and I still don't have my lousy 39.95 back. Also Bought the same watch at Wal -Mart for ten dollars less.
This guys just scamed
This guys just scamed. Me I have cancel service 30 days ago and they still charged to my card over 250 now I have to dispute. They also have bad lead generation practices. Not honest. Stay away. From Yielp.
Honest Reliable Transportation
I needed a ride to the airport early in the morning. I had concerns Uber might not show up. I found Michael Mel of Cleveland Heights who owns Honest Reliable Transportation . 216 965 1546. He was on time,honest and drove safely! A wonderful combination of of traits. He remained in contact with . He called when he left his house and when he was outside my home!
As a business owner yelp constantly…
As a business owner yelp constantly calls to try to get you to pay for their review services and they put great 5 star reviews in the “not recommended review “ section for no reason and won’t change it unless of course you pay them. I hate that I have honest reviews and feedback from my guests that can’t be seen because yelp software decides that those reviews aren’t recommended. Yelp is a pay to review site don’t go there for trusted reviews.
Yelp police at work!
Yelp is completely on the businesses side. They remove reviews that businesses don't like, they don't give you a chance to repeal it, they even send emails saying your account can be closed. Yelp is really going down the drain, silencing real reviews, and always staying on the money's side.
Yelp suxxa
Yelp, is horrible there very manipulative!!! They need a good law suite.
