The promised the moon. We were promised 30-40 leads a month, but got between 10-12. They changed our places page and tried to take credit for traffic they have nothing to do with. When I called to speak with them about performance, kept asking for more time saying" we can ramp things up" or pull some "aggressive maneuvers". They promised a $500 refund every month after 3 months if they could not return 36 new client calls each month. But, they count total calls. So when they changed our places page and put their phone number on it. We had people already working with us calling, and they would count this towards the 36 new clients.
Finally, when we parted ways, they told us "that breaking even is considered a win for us" and asked if we would stay if they could promise 10-15 calls a month.
But in the end, we spent $1,600.00 a month a received 26 calls in three months from new leads.
Bait and Switch beware.

AUTHOR: getback - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, September 04, 2012
You can strike back at Yodle if you have been wronged and they have acted in the ways stated on this board- which are violations of Google Partners and without a relationship with Google Yodle will be hurting. I am very serious here these steps below can really have a strong BITE so use them if you have been legitimately wronged and it will hurt them.
Here is the best way to get these guys thrown off google
Go to this link for a Google complaint http://support.google.com/adwords/bin/request.py?&contact_type=gap_complaint
1. Make a third party adwords complaint telling Google they misrepresented themselves as being part of Google. This is a BIG no no and will get Googles attention and may get you some satisfaction (refund if you are owned etc) On the complaint form specify that this company told you they were GOOGLE when they called (if that is what you feel has happened) On the complaint form let Google know you have complained (see below) to the BBB and attorney generals office http://support.google.com/adwords/bin/request.py?&contact_type=gap_complaint
ALSO make a similar complaint if you were not shown EXACTLY what Yodle paid for those links from Google and if your local listing has been HIJACKED with a different number put on them.
It is a violation of Google Partner policy to charge you for calls for sign ups from things that you should be getting free like local listings and map listings.
2. Make a complaint to the bbb (bbb.org) about Yodle if you have been wronged.
3. Make a complaint to the Attorney General in Your state AND New York where Yodle is located
4. Make a complaint to the Federal Trade Commision and dispute the charge if they fraudulently charged their card.
It is most important that you fill out the Google Form and also Yodle MUST SHOW you how much THEY PAY FOR CLICKS-- if they do not Yodle is in violation of Google Policies and this will get you the relief you need Stop letting these guys ruin and take advantage of small businesses
