Yelp recommendations misleading

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I searched Yelp for Car Detailer and was given several recommendations who contacted me via text with just a price. Prices ranged around $200.

I went to book with one of the vendors on their website and saw that they had many categories of detailing and that $200 was their maximum price. Many of the items provided were not things I needed. I found the category that is right for me for $85. When Yelp and your vendors give prices, the price RANGE should be specified.

I felt like I could no longer trust Yelp to give me accurate pricing. I'm sure many customers have overpaid for jobs, not just this one.

User's recommendation: Do your research outside of Yelp and the response from vendors.

They got it wrong

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I applied to use their YELP BUSINESS APP, as a paid service provider,where you pay and they in turn send customers to you. It like a "lead generation" or they charge you a pay per click program,..

now they gave me a great incentive to join.. the first months fee of $350 will be applied to your account, and after this, you pay monthly. Shortly after,.. they doubled this,.

And I got $700 for 2 months ... Long story short,.. I do BATHTUB REFINISHING,. The kept sending me leads for floor Refinishing, cabinet Refinishing,.

And charged me full price . .Ive called many times about them constantly sending me leads, and charging me over $10per click,.. but they never adjusted my account for all the bad leads,. And bogus charges..

I just wish they would send me the proper customers for the service I provide...just because im a bathtub refinisher,.. DONT Mean I DO FLOORS , AND CABINETS, AND CONCRETE.. now that they have exhausted my budget,. They no longer answer my calls..

I've called multiple times I'm the beginning, and spoke immediately to someone, now , my number must be flagged, and nobody answers Anymore,.. I've waited on hold for well over an hour,.. not once, but twice,.. and soon realized my number is flagged...

I just want someone in Yelp business to look at my account and reimburse me for all the bad leads I was charged for.. I even broke it down for them..

I was sent about 78 "leads, 35 actually said bathroom fixture restoration (btw is the closest category for bathtub Refinishing they have )..

so I would like to be reimbursed for the other 43 bogus charges I was charged...please if you can help with this, and have a way i can speak with the company now that my number is flagged,.. this would help immensely.

Thank you

Michael

RGPD Regulation - please delete my information

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I wanted to link my business account to my Yelp personnal account but couldn't, so I claimed my business with a new email adress (helen.barenton@***.com). Problem is : my business information are on google and everywhere else with my email address used for my Yelp personnal account.

So I wanted to change it to mirror the right information (my business should be registered with my email helen.barenton@***.com), but failed as Yelp considers the email address is already used. So I deleted my personnal account to be able to amend my Yelp for business account with my google email address, but still, it says the helen.barenton@***.com is already used!

RGPD regulation says a customer can ask for his data to be erased from any database, so please, I ask you to delete all the data you have gathered linked with my helen.barenton@***.com email so that I can link it to my business account, OR if you can do it from your side, I would be glad you do it for me. As an additional porblem, I a waiting for weeks for a moderator to approve my business. could you please have a look at it and revert to me ?

thank you ! regards.

They cheated me out of $500

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I had an idea for a new type of business. The salesman told me I needed to give them my credit card for security. They created a website for me without my knowledge. I wasn't even in the right category as my son told me later. I had called the salesman back repeatedly. There is no body to talk to. For two months they took $5oo for nothing.

Dispute charges

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I canceled with yelp 2/12/24 because you took money from my account that you were supposed to. Now you took money from my account again and I don't even have an account with you anymore. No one will call me back. At this point I have to file fraud claims at my bank. Worst business experience I've ever had.

Reviews being removed

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review Feb 07, 2024

Hello,

We have had 41 of our 5 star reviews being taken down. I understand you all have system that filters unauthentic reviews, which is great, but you all are removing MANY of our authentic reviews that dramatically affect our overall score.

We are a small local business and work very hard to provide excellent service and give guest's an experience they want to rave about, and they have been, but you all keep removing them and it is affecting how we are viewed by our community. This is severely upsetting as we have worked very hard and feel as if this is unfair. Can we see specifically why these reviews are being taken down, we would appreciate an explanation for each one.

It is absolutely absurd the quantity and I want to make sure there is a legit explanation for each one, I feel it is only fair.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Also, after I posted this you all sent a link for "im pissed at yelp shirts" ARE YOU JOKING? It seems like you do not care about your merchants at all.

$41
Pros:
  • Easy to use and update
Cons:
  • Policies and terms and agreements

Preferred solution: I would like our reviews to be put on our page so that the people viewing our page can determine for themselves how they feel about our restaurant with everyone's opinions being taken into consideration.

User's recommendation: Yelp is great but their review policies are insane. They have removed 41 of our 5 star reviews with ZERO explanation as to why. I understand they have terms and agreement and filter reviews that they consider unauthentic, but this is ridiculous. They NEVER take down reviews that we report for unauthentic experiences when we provide legit explanations so I think it's ridiculous people can see those because they want everyone to form their own opinion, but do not trust their users when we are reporting things and take away real reviews that would also allow viewers to formulate their own opinion. Makes no sense.

First off, you are not on the Yelp website. Pay attention to where you are posting.

Second of all, the filtered reviews are NOT filtered based on Yelp feeling they are false. Yelp has an algorithm that filters reviews and there is no rhyme or reason to it. I seen someone with 1 review to their credit have their review being shown and I have seen where someone has written hundreds of reviews get filtered. I once wrote a 5 star review and after 5 years, I noticed it went to filtered.

If you want your 41 five star reviews back, you will have to purchase advertising packages with Yelp. Yelp employees, past and present, have been very open about taking away a business's positive reviews if they refused to pay for advertising.

They removed my true thick review

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I left a truthful and tasteful review of Dr Lewen in Miami , Fl who performed a terrible job on my eyes and even worse a terrible follow up , discarding me without providing referrals when I experienced issues . He didnt give any notive and left me with botched filler in the upper eyelid snd very few drs can treat botched filler there. This was supported by before after pictures. He ruined my eyes wasnt accountable and he gets a free pass now and even got a truthful review removed. Unreal. Im very angry
