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

Great Service
Exceptional Dedication and Value: I am incredibly impressed by the level of service provided by my customer manager at Yell. They recently spent a significant amount of time preparing and delivering a comprehensive presentation tailored specifically to my business goals. Instead of a generic sales pitch, the presentation was packed with deep market insights, clear performance data, and actionable steps to improve our online visibility. It was clear that they put immense effort into researching our industry and understanding our specific needs.
