Yelp 'bots hide some reviews under a tiny, grey, "Not Recommended" fine print on the bottom. So, for a full understanding, a consumer must manually (mentally) deduct suspicious reviews (e.g. few revi... See more

i had clients giving 5 stars but yelp cancelled them
i m very disapointed
These guys are the biggest scam artist
These guys are the biggest scam artist. I signed up for their free trial, and instead of sending me an update about how much money, clicks,enjoyment, do we want to continue, the only update we received after spending $3,000 ( I Guess ) on ads for 5 months unknowingly... WAS YOUR PAYMENT ARE NOT GOING THROUGH! they maxed my credit card out.
I had No idea I was even getting charged. Google ads on the other hand sending me a weekly updates, how much money I've spent, how to better perform, do I want to continue, where the money's being spent.
YELP ONLY SENDS YOU AN UPDATE ON WHEN YOUR CREDIT CARD'S BEEN PAYMENT HAS BEENDECLINED.
It's no wonder these guys only have a 1.3 star rating.
When I called them, I asked why they don't send zero updates on how much money you've spent, where the ads are going, if you even like the service, do you want to continue? you know what the lady on the phone says? Well, we didn't send you an email update because we never heard anything from you about the service, we just assumed you loved the service... SO WE JUST KEEP CHARGING YOUR CARD!
You know, the industry I'm in they all said don't you use Yelp for ads or anything like that because it's a scam and then they just continue to charge you.
I did try to cancel one time, clearly it didn't work.
Also, with these $3,000 plus I've spent I only had one lady call me about firewood, And I couldn't even contact her through the app. So I contacted Yelp told them what was going on and they kept continuously telling me I need to contact her through the app... What the heck do you think I've been trying to do?
Anyway stay away from Yelp, nothing but theft and they clearly don't care because it doesn't sound like I'm getting a cent back.

Yelp allows people to post fake reviews towards businesses on thier platform and they will not allow you to respond to any reviews good or bad unless you pay thier fees.
There are alot of sketchy businesses out there but these clowns really take the cake. One thing they are extremely good at is using unethical business practices
Harassment
I put my business on their site as it was free, so why not. Now I'm being harassed constantly with emails and phone calls wanting me to upgrade and pay for a listing. I have politely responded numerous times saying that I'm not interested, and then please do not call or email me anymore. Yet it continues. Im trying to get my free listing off the Yelp site now so they stop phoning me every week. I'll stick with Google which gets used more in Canada anyway.
They're ghosting the account
They're ghosting the review and filtered it out most of the real buyers opinion. I don't understand why does it happened...
What an awful company
What an awful company. They bury legitimate reviews and then try to get you to pay money to promote your business. I called them and had a terrible experience.
Terrible Experience, Total Waste of Time and Money
I used Yelp for two months, and honestly, it was a complete disappointment. I was told different stories every time, and in the end, it felt like I just threw my money away for nothing.
Very poor experience, absolutely not worth it.
I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Stay away if you value your time and money.
At this point, Yelp Canada feels like a big scam.
What a terrible experience
What a terrible experience. Not only will your phone ring off the hook with people trying to sell you Yelp enhancements (I literaly got over 20- 40 calls on a few days) but you will also then have someone write a review on your Yelp page with a 2 star review telling you you can hire them to remove it and Yelp will do nothing to help you. All you can do is flag or report it and it can take MONTHS for them to remove it. The actual review is someone telling me how they can remove bad reviews and Yelp does nothing. Overall this was a really treeible experience. The sales people are really nice but Yelp just sucks because it does nothing to protect their customers from being scammed and spammed.
They allow reviews from United States…
They allow reviews from United States even if your company is in canada
It's a scam
It's a scam. The cancellation was not made visible, and we contacted them early in the month of subscription, and they didn’t want to refund, but they technically tried to trap you into their services. Be careful! Customer service was no help!
Harassment of potential customers
The Yelp sales rep Holly is experienced in harassment, and has no respect of the word no. After a few clear emails saying NO, and 4 phone calls clearly saying NO, and never call again, she had the guts to email again requesting me to schedule a meeting!!! Harassment does not gain loyal paying customers. The only way to get her to stop was to block and report spam. I am a very polite person, but I do not put up with being persistently bullied and harassed.
Absence of customer support for Yelp.ca non-business accounts
''Oops, something went wrong. Please try again.''
This has been the same message I am getting from attempting to log in my Yelp.ca account for over a month.
Upon some extensive research on my own, I finally found some sort of Yelp.ca help/support email contact which I sent an email message 4-5 weeks ago since I am having this same fail to log in my own account issue with no explanation or direct help access available for non-business account users from Yelp.ca web site.
No response, help, support whatsoever I can receive from Yelp.ca other than the initial auto reply email that said they would get back to me 3-5 business days or so with a solution.
Posts I put up at Yelp.ca seem intact yet I am unable to write new posts or update my posts, respond to comments on my posts, etc. Yelp.ca does not seem to care about helping or supporting someone who has been their non-business account user for over 10 years
Tickets not delivered on time, upgrade really a downgrade
It was 30 minutes before the concert was set to start and we still hadn't received our tickets. I called customer service. I had to login to Ticketmaster (?) and email a screenshot showing that I had no tickets there. I don't know why I would since I hadn't purchased through Ticketmaster and Stubhub hadn't released any. Anyway, she verified it. Then she said she could offer to issue new tickets and upgrade them due to the inconvenience. I said that was fine, we just wanted to get in to the concert which was now set to start in less that 15 minutes. So she sent the new tickets. By the time we actually got them, it was 5 minutes before the concert, and they were NOT an upgrade! They were a major downgrade! I'm so angry! Our original seats were in a center section, and the "upgraded" seats were all the way in the far right section. But they were 3 rows closer, so I guess that makes it an upgrade???? I will never use Stubhub again!
Ticketmaster /StubHub
I purchased my tickets, through Ticketmaster, costing 604.42 but I receive a charge from "STUBHUB" for 848.50. One big SCAM
I did not purchase these tickets at a US$ rate. I purchased these tickets in Canadian $
From a Canadian Ticketmaster, for a Canadian Show in BC and in a Canadian Venue.
No where on the order page said this show was in US$, nor said anything about STUBHUB until I received an e-mail from a Canadian STUBHUB with the price of 604.42, not US$ and not 848.50
Very hard to create an account 
This night it took me about an hour to create an account was a terrible experience I didn’t manage to create an account with a password of my own choice 
Blackmailed by Yelp Marketing Team
As a new business owner I received a call from Yelp's marketing team offering to help grow the business. I refused the offer and since the they keep hiding all my five star reviews. I have over 40 reviews and they are showing the 4 five star reviews and the only one star review which was left by a competitor in the area. The marketing team called me again today and basically told me in not so many words that they will not allow my business to have good reviews unless I pay for a package. Are we now blackmailing businesses?

Always misleading about store info…
Always misleading about store info deliberately cherry picking outdated or fabricated information such as listing 10 grocery stores as 24 hours despite 9 of them never being 24hr, and one of them hasn’t been 24hr since 2018. Yelp should be shut down for how poorly they behave deliberately or if they’re feigning ignorance, how neglectful they are to their own fact checking.
Trustpilot reviews are false
Trustpilot reviews are false. If you write a review that's less than glowing "they TRUSTPILOT" will bounce the review back to the author telling you why it's necessary to re-write your review. TRUSTPILOT has forced two rewrites on my experience using "Get Thin" weightloss product. TRUSTPILOT even took the 2nd rewrite down because it wasn't singing weightloss praise. DO NOT TRUST ANY TRUSTPILOT REVIEWS FOR GENERIC OFF BRAND WEIGHTLOSS DRUGS!!!
The Trustpilot Experience
Anyone can write a Trustpilot review. People who write reviews have ownership to edit or delete them at any time, and they’ll be displayed as long as an account is active.
Companies can ask for reviews via automatic invitations. Labeled Verified, they’re about genuine experiences.
