7 five star reviews that are deemed unworthy of counting which are from legitimate sources, and 1 single star review from a customer who owes myself and my landlord money whom furthermore uses yelp to slander business’ after he has stolen from them. yelp is simply a platform for bad customers to cause havoc wherever they please by circumnavigating word of mouth.

i will not pay to boost my business through yelp. they have call me 4-5 times throughout my first year of business. at first i was not ready to invest in the program. once i was starting to consider signing on with yelp i started to notice my 5 star reviews were being hidden by the so called filter. yelp reps continued to call me telling me that i needed to sign on with them in order to drive more traffic to my business. they called to the point of being overly aggressive and insulting my attempts to put them off. at this point all of my reviews have been archived. even one from an “elite yelp reviewer”. frankly, i don’t trust the company anymore. i’m not investing my advertising dollars with them to get more great reviews only to have them filter them all out once i stop advertising through them. so presently i’m using facebook and google to attract more business. and people are finding me through them. does yelp realize they have a 19% loss in shares from small businesses revolting? or do they even care?

i have legitimate positive reviews from clients who have photos and yelp friends and have written reviews for other people but yelp kept hiding and moving these reviews to the “not recommended” section.
considering the time and thoughts my clients have put in to writing reviews on yelp to find out that their reviews are hidden , this is so unfair and discouraging to continue to use yelp. i also have clients from other cities or countries that travel all the way to use my services. the algorithm that filters out people who are not local are not in the area of service is unfair. i also have clients who don’t use yelp or don’t like yelp however are willing to sign up to write me yelp reviews. considering my business has helped yelp gain new customers i think yelp should really find better way to do business and find a more accurate and more fair algorithm. i also have a client who found me through yelp and went to post a positive review on yelp but the review got hidden . just because someone is using yelp but doesn’t have yelp friend doesn’t mean the review is not legitimate. the algorithm needs to change otherwise people are migrating to use other review platform.

i saw a news story where yelp complained google ignored them – good. yelp’s only existence is to destroy businesses with their fake site!! wish, as a group, we could file a class action suit to stop them.
we have 13 positive reviews placed in the not-recommended area. we have two new very new great reviews we can expect yelp to remove shortly. and, we have three horrible reviews that are very old. everyone of them is a blatant lie. we have an upscale shop – the reviewer said it was “back door” and shady. we have the best product in town- the reviewer said it was full of chemicals- all products are lab tested, chemicals would have been found and reported to the state before they reached our shop.
called yelp and got the run around. offered to pay them to put the good reviews back and they were horrified and said they do not accept payment. i don’t believe that – maybe it’s the way i presented it.

yelp is horrible! look at a negative review and that person has listed only negatives! this is the place jerks go to whine about anything – true or not! i had a customer who lied and contacted both he and yelp to get it resolved. yelp will always go with the user,,,,unless they can extort a company to pay them a membership fee. this is what i call extortion !!!

yelp is horrible!! they are the modern day mafia and that is not an exaggeration. in fact they might be worse by the way they are killing businesses all around this country due to their “highly sophisticated” review filter. i currently have 21 (5) star reviews all happy paying customers and all of them are sitting in the not recommended review category. bs!

when i call to complain i end up losing more (5) star reviews from the reviews that are actually showing and now i have (3) 1 star reviews that show up (2) of which never used my service and (1) who tried to swindle me. i essentially have no bad reviews for my business but i have a 2.5 star rating on yelp. it’s toral garbage. no one should trust yelp business owners nor consumers
