🚨 Warning to Every Small Business Owner: Stay Away from Yelp 🚨
Yelp has taken $1,845.75 of our money since June 30, 2025 — and delivered absolutely nothing. Not a single new client. Not a single paying customer. Nothing but empty promises, useless excuses, and predatory billing.
We went into this program in good faith. We were told Yelp advertising would generate leads and opportunities. What did we get? Zero results. We tried for months, made multiple phone calls, wrote emails, and gave them every chance to make this right. Instead, Yelp doubled down, refused to refund a penny, and hid behind canned “final decision” emails.
This is not just poor service — this is a predatory business practice against small businesses. They sell you the dream of exposure and customers, then drain your bank account while delivering NOTHING in return. And when you ask for accountability? They slam the door in your face.
Yelp is despicable. Their advertising is a scam, their customer service is a wall of refusal, and their entire model is built on exploiting small businesses who don’t have money to waste.
We will never spend another cent with Yelp, and we will make sure every business owner we know hears our story. If you are considering Yelp advertising: don’t do it. Protect your business. Protect your money. Protect yourself.
Yelp will take your cash and give you nothing but excuses in return.
