I am a small business owner.  Yodle contacted me about using their service to generate "leads".  The customer service person was very friendly and answered all my questions.  She was a little pushy, but I understand she's trying to make a sale.  I was told that Yodle would gaurantee me between 20-30 leads per month.  I paid $1149 up front and then was to pay $1000 +/- per month after.  They told me I would have to suspend my Google account to do work with their service.  I did all these things and then tracked it very closely.  

After 3 weeks I began to get concerned because the 15 "leads" being generated were from other companies wanting to offer me a similar product and the other "leads" were hang up phone calls.  All this is trackable thru their system because they record every call that comes in.  I called several times to address my concerns.  I got the run around at first.  Then they changed their pitch to state that they don't gaurantee leads.  Every person I talked to was different with a different pitch.  I ultimately cancelled my credit card and disputed the charges that had been made.  

Yodle is the definition of Rip Off.  The service sounds great in theory, but I lost 4 weeks of legitimate advertising to find this out.  DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
