Like many on here my experience begins and ends with the initial sales call, which was overly scripted and painfully time consuming. The sales person felt the need to repeat my name dozens of times throughout the discussion, which always sets off alarm bells in my head, this is an outdated sale ploy that is supposed to gain trust, but in my mind has the opposite effect. When we finally cut to the chase, I suggested that prior to making a $1500 commitment I do some independent research on Yodle and their services, this was met with a rather aggressive sales pitch where the rep began to machine gun their credentials and endorsements at me. I spent 18 years as a corporate purchasing manager, so I know when a sales person is trying to close me and keep me on the phone until they do. If those achievements and endorsements are legitimate why not let me off the call to do my own research? My guess is because I would end up on this site where over 180 people gave them 1 star and many for the very reason I am now.
I don't know if their service is worth the price, or if it will do anything to improve your business, and it appears I will never find out. Whether they believe it or not they had a serious lead in me, but when I had to resort to shouting into the phone to stop the sales rep from talking non stop over me, I knew I would never be a client.
Yodle is doing an awesome job of helping me to market my accounting business. It is amazing the personal attention, and knowledge that they have shared with me.
I signed up with Yodle & it's the best business decision I've made. Everyone at Yodle are very professional & are committed to making your website accessible & successful. I want to say a very special thanks to Chuck Ashley from the Yodle team for going above & beyond his duties to help me out. Your website is easy to navigate so you don't have to be a computer geek. I recommend using Yodle
If you're serious about your business. I give Yodle a ***** (5 star rating).
All aspects of the campaign were clearly presented and my questions were answered. All timelines thus far have been met and I am, two days in, satisfied with the campaign. The customer service is wonderful, and I look forward to a long relationship with Yodle
I have used Yodle for 17 days and have already developed new business from the site. Yodle's customer service and attention to detail are great.
Yodle has done a great job, bringing me new business, thank you for that.
I encountered a problem and Lavar was beyond helpful. At least two times, he literally would place me on hold while he walked to a co-worker to help resolve my issues immediately. He wouldn't let me hang up the phone until he had tried everything possible to fix the problem. He also stayed with me on the phone even after it looked like the issue was resolved to ensure that it was. Excellent customer service!
Great customer service and one on one technical support to walk you through the process
I recently joined Yodle and have nothing but great things to say about their customer service. Today was my third follow-up call with my rep. And I must say (Levar, the customer rep. I spoke with) was easy to understand, knowledgeable, extremely patient, and pleasant through-out my training. Learning new technology isn't always easy and generally I will try to do anything to avoid it, but have enjoyed getting familiar and exploring Yodle and look forward to growing my business with their help.
Yodle is one of the best advertising companies! They are very helpful and professional. They made a big impact on the growth of my company. Would recommend them, and have to business. Thanks Yodle!
Yodle contacted me as I was starting up my law practice and pitched me their demo via an online demonstration. The first thing that made them stand out from other company's was that they did not require a long-term contract commitment before I received a day of service. That made me quickly realize that they would be invested in my success each and every month in order to keep my business as their customer. After the initial 90-day period was over... I stayed with Yodle throughout the life of my business because they absolutely delivered each and every month on their promise. By the 60-day mark I had customers calling regularly. By the 90-day mark my business was growing more than what I had expected it to grow... in large part due to Yodle's management of the google ad program, which was always seeking to make it more cost-efficient and precisely tailored to my business needs. After about 10 months of using Yodle, my return on investment was much much better than I had expected. It also didn't hurt that they had above-excellent customer service each and every time I had questions, concerns, etc. They definitely went above and beyond for me and I have already recommended Yodle to several of my close friends who are thinking of opening up a business.
Since May 2014 Yodle has changed my business and the way I do business. Thank you for your service and support.
The rep was knowledgeable and took the time to explain how to fix my problem any answered my questions with answers I could use
Always awesome you guys bend over backwards to accommodate my needs. I am so thankful for a company that puts their customer first. I have confidence in knowing if I have a technical question or a Google placemen question that you will have the answer. This speaks volumes on your in house training and expertise. Keep up the great service.
We didn't get one single lead or phone call after 90 days with the service. The customer service was good, but the service itself was garbage for us. A complete waste of money.

Soo far it's been great. Already got 1 solid lead.
The person I spoke to was vary knowledgeable, thank you
Jeffrey was great, he helped me a lot. I was getting nervous about my decision to try Yodle but after talking with him I feel reassured. Skip
Your service has been wonderful. I am new to working on the Yodle site and your company has been extremely helpful to me. Very professional and patient with me. I would like to make a suggestion about the dashboard. It would be very helpful if I could see my account information (ex. Name, address, emails, contact info, etc.). I have no idea what it is and if it should need updating or if new information needs to be added. I don't necessarily think it should be editable but at least visible.
My business has been with Yodle for several months now and I want to say is why had I not done this sooner.The staff at yodle is outstanding to work with and already seeing good results. I also want thank Mr Thomas Ray Foster for his help and support. Looking forward to A GREAT FUTURE WITH YODLE...
Answer: I received a few leads that actually worked out. However, it wasn't enough to justify using them in the first place. The leads seemed to come in when I had signed up for their "google ads marketing" addition. So basically, the google ads provided 80%-100% of the leads, not Yodle. I Would've been better off spending my money on Google Ads written myself.
Answer: Yodle only cost me money and quite a bit of frustration! Tony
Answer: I have a spare wet-vac if you have extra cash laying about. Give me a call. It would be a better application of energy use.
Answer: Run Forest Run. They make promises. They will put wrong info on the web. Who spends 600.00 Before a return if you gat that. Run Forest Run
Answer: Dont do it.
Answer: If you get a website made. The search engine go by the 2nd letter in order for your site to be pulled up quickly. You would be better off doing your own social media marketing, joining the BBB and Y and white pages of phone book. Magnetic vehicle signs, etc. Need more free tips email me at rstoutmire@yahoo.com subject line Javier S. Contractor. Hope this help you but don't pay any company any money for any work. Rhonda S.
Hi Patrick,
I'm really sorry that this was your experience. If you remember the name of the person you spoke with, please contact me at syvenna.siebert@yodle.com or 646-770-8974. This is not the type of conversation we want our sales team to have with prospective clients, and I'd like to look into it to see what happened and determine the issues we need to address.
Thank you,
