Thank to Kevin this has a 4* review, it was going to be a 1*
Started a very expensive campaign with Yell and was promised the world, I would have monthly reviews and a dedicated manager. I guess what none of this happened, manager disappeared no one contacted me and I saw little progress for my money. So after about 8 months as I was stuck to this contract for 12 months costing me £300 a month for then to do nothing. I decided this must end. I was then contacted by Kevin Watson who told me he has now taken over my account. As you can understand I had no longer any confidence in this company which has cost me £3600 for a year and being a small company this was a massive loss for me. I cancelled my contract with them and have started with another company. But here is were things changed. Kevin Watson was excellent and had contact with me on a regular basis and this was even before I cancelled, even after he found out that I had cancelled he continued to supply support. I did mention to Kevin that if he had been in charge from day one I most likely would have stayed. So this review is for Kevin Watson he was excellent, for the rest of Yell all I can say what a waste of my Money. So disappointed with them.

Hello Mr de Koning,
We appreciate you taking the time to share your detailed feedback regarding your experience with our services. We are truly sorry to learn that your initial campaign did not meet your expectations and resulted in significant frustration and financial loss for your small company. We understand how disappointing it must have been to not receive the promised monthly reviews and dedicated management, especially given the investment you made.
We are, however, very pleased to hear about the positive impact Kevin had on your experience, even after your decision to cancel. It is encouraging to know that their consistent support and proactive communication made a difference. We value your honest assessment and will certainly take your comments about the initial service delivery to heart as we continuously work to improve our customer experience. Your insights are invaluable as we strive to ensure all our clients receive the high level of service they deserve from the very beginning.

Do not be miss sold the accelerate programs
I’m writing this because I don’t want any other small businesses getting caught by this company. I was sold the tier 1 accelerate program with lead gaurentee, I would get a newly designed website and hey it sounded great, I agreed with my original account manager the additional sales I needed to cover this extra expense so what did I have to loose. Bear in mind this was costing me over £850 a month! Well here is where a year of stress started. My website started to be changed but the designers had no idea about my business (fair enough) but this meant hours and hours of me having to give advise etc, again ok but trying to get through to anyone s not easy. So the whole point of this program is that you have an account manager who guides you and who checks on the performance of the website, mine disappeared after a few months, I couldn’t get through to anyone who knew what was going on, then I was told i didn’t have to program i thought i had, it took 4 months to get a new manager, and we then still had to go back to the start again, all the while I’m paying for this! Anyway, the messes and calls i was getting through were generally useless and yel still counted them! So i go to cancel my program at the end of the year only to find if i do this then i also loose the website that i have with them!!!!! And since this all i have had is hard sell tactics to get me to stay, hell no!!! I this has been an extremely upsetting experience and has cost me a lot of money in a tough time, yell you should be ashamed of this service

Ha....where to start
Ha....where to start
First they promise the moon ,than the stars and they say it's monthly rolling clearly on the DSAR which I had to ask for ...
Then they say they found now evidence of this,they removed at least 5 minutes from 1 one of the conversations...
Oh,I had 2.calls in 2 and a half months 😂 my grandmother could get me 2.calls ... specially for £168 /month
Now I finally got my deadlock letter and told them where to go...I registered with Croft solicitors my details as there's a group action against them
Stay away !!!!
