Yelp for business owners is a scam

Do not sign up for "free advertising" you will end up paying over $300 for and not see any return in the investment. Not to mention get trapped into paying it without being notified in advance.

Just got off the phone with another yelp account manager. Their overpriced advertising service gifts you $300 when you claim your business. You have to manually turn it off otherwise it charges you per month. There is no proof of clicks to your page or wanted or not said clicks we by real people or bots. They then changed my email address after account creation, to a misspelled version of the email address. I was never notified of any charge and if not for catching it via my banking app they would be continued charging $375 a month. I couldn't log into my business account because they didn't recognize the (correct) email address. Had to call them to change it back to the correct spelling, which was the correct spelling when I set up the account. I never received receipts for my purchase, or any notification of pending payments. And when asked if I would be refunded the money, they said they cannot help. After asking to speak to a manager they told us there was no one else who could help. We asked, so you work directly under the CEO? Then our CSR said well no but I can see if there is a manager, then hung up on me.
