Great service as always
Had a great chat about where my business is currently and where it's heading. Whether my Yell and Website page are working for the services I provide and where I rank on Google. Nice to have a catch up.

I found the sales approach very pushy
I found the sales approach very pushy. The representative spent most of the call pointing out everything they believed was wrong with my website and making alarming predictions about lost business. As a small company, I felt there was little understanding of my budget or circumstances. I was then quoted around £400 per month, which I felt was excessive. It came across as a hard sales pitch rather than genuine advice. Unfortunately, not an experience I would recommend.

Absolutely shocking customer service
Absolutely shocking customer service ! Lost the landline number I was assigned which was an absolute nightmare to sort out. Yell didn’t seem to care or understand how much they messed up. Feel like I’ve been conned into another 12 month package and don’t seem to get any phone calls or genuine leads, absolute rip off ! Not had any contact from them whatsoever since which was over 3 months ago, just take my money but never check in. Can’t wait until this contract is up so I can cancel everything and move my business as far away from Yell as possible. Avoid at all costs !

Please reach out to us to discuss a resolution.

A Pleasure To Do Business With
We’d like to thank our Yell representative Stuart Simpson for all the help and support provided with our new website and SEO across Lincolnshire and more recently East Nottinghamshire. Since launching, we’ve seen a significant increase in website clicks, phone enquiries, and visits to our showroom and service centre. The whole process was smooth and professional, and the results have exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended.
