Yelp for Business App for Pc

I am extremely disappointed with Yelps services for business owners. I got on the platform because as a consumer I often use it to find services I need. It’s a great user platform but you this app people are robbing business owners of everything. I can’t even choose my own profile picture without paying you at least $30 a month. I was not paying for services so all the reviews I was getting kept hiding. I added ad services and then my reviews started to magically show up. I decided yesterday to decrease my spending on this app as I am effectively paying for 9 other contractors to be showcased on my page unless I pay another $300 a month plus with the slowing season it just made the most sense. Today I see that all of my 7 reviews have magically gone away since I decreased my spending budget. Well this app, you won’t be getting any more money out of me. I appreciate the services, but you are charging for EVERY Little thing and currently I am not seeing my return on investment , I’m surprised you don’t charge to log in. This is terrible if you are a small business owner wanting to spend no more than $500 per month. Google charges less, gives me more bang for my buck, a free website, free posts, free picture arrangement and almost 3 times the clicks as this app and they don’t advertise for 9 other people on my page. 1 star only because I could not leave less.

As a business owner you folks call my store 2 to 6 times a week. We have a store number and a number to reach for advertising and business related issues. My employees don’t know my business and I like to keep it that way including advertising. You have those numbers but you never use them. When you email my monthly report it doesn’t compare to the volume I get traffic wise from google and I don’t pay them a dime. Yet I control what is posted and listed unlike with y’all. The reviews I receive from customers are spam from other businesses like mine. All I need to do is follow their former reviews and I can see for myself. I will notice the folks that use you mostly are those from out of the country touring the us and they don’t make my business my locals do, or the college students that are foreign. Again folks that don’t make my bank. Today’s social media outlets are putting applications like this app out of business. So it’s time for you to either update your product or put it to rest. The majority of folks are not using your product. The next numbers don’t compare to others out on the market who are doing it for free and if I want to boost my advertising I do for free is still cheaper and goes further for much less at a much lower price then you.

It’s absolutely crazy how this app doesn’t show positive reviews. Because they’re flagged for potentially being fake. But I have numerous reviews for my business with pictures added mind you that are not even counted as a review from customers who have had accounts for years with several other reviews to other company’s but the second they post to mine it’s not counted. Because I’m guessing my business is new on this app. On top of that not matter what if someone leaves a bad review even if someone just created the account with no other reviews at all they count. Like oh it’s a bad review we gotta show it. If it weren’t for the fact that so many people rely on this app for the services they need I wouldn’t even use this platform. this app you need to really look into your review algorithm flagging software because your causing people business which is how a lot of us support our family.

I’ve been using this app for years as an consumer so I gave it a shot with my business. However they have dropped all of my clients REAL clients reviews. But it didn’t start until they started blowing up my phone trying to get me to pay for advertising which I don’t need and now my business isn’t on the radar anymore with is awful because of their rigged system do yourself a favor and avoid them phone calls and your business will be okay. I never received business from this app but I always recommended for people to “hey check us out on this app” now I don’t say anything. My foot traffic has been at 0 since the last rep I spoke with that didn’t end nice because they were trying to force me to buy advertisement (very high intense sales company) but that don’t bother me... I’m not buying anything if I’m not ready period.
