Some fear the potential loss of customers, others dread the damage to their online reputation. I think he just appreciated that I told him honestly that I didn't want him to waste his time with me because I didn't have the budget for what he was selling.But the common worries that plague businesses regarding negative Yelp reviews are many and varied. And it works great for us! I'm still really grateful to that fella.

I do this with others too.just tell them the truth, and I was directed to a free online ordering system vs. I just find that being honest, up front, and respectful of them as human beings doing their job gets the best results. Honestly, I think it's only fair that we do some small ad campaign with them since the do bring us traffic, just not right now. She respectfully thanked me for replying and said she understood and will try again in a few weeks.

So I answered the email and said honestly that we are crazy busy due to a staff shortage, and lots of equipment repairs are hurting our cash flow. They finally sent me a very aggressive email saying 'last chance' and I wasn't sure what that meant.take me off yelp? Start bad reviews? We do really well on yelp and it does get us customers, so I'd not want that. Sure enough, they recently started to call me back (about 3 months later which I appreciated) and I ignored the calls and emails as I was very busy as we are on a nice upswing since covid, but I lost 3 staff and about anything that could break down was breaking down. They then asked if they can contact me later, and I said sure, like in 3 months.

I also said that I appreciated their offer to help but don't want to waste their time going through their demo of their page to set up an ad account as I don't have the funds to pay for it at the moment. I've just been up front with them and tell them that I'm just a small mom & pop restaurant with no room in my budget for ads at this time. If you're running paid advertising anywhere, this is a must. In fact, you should use unique call tracking numbers for all of your advertising and marketing channels to measure reach and conversion value by channel.

I suggest listing your business for free using a tracking number like you can get here so that you can see what calls come from Yelp and which don't. I'll list my businesses for free all day long, but no way in hell I'll ever pay a dime to a company that will delete my positive reviews. And secondly, I know of at least two confirmed POSITIVE reviews left on Yelp by a couple of my repeat clients which Yelp removed because, according to Yelp, these two people have never left reviews for other businesses so the ones they left for me are not considered legit. On the negative side, yeah, they will bug the hell out you with calls to do paid advertising and they won't stop. I do regularly get calls from new clients from my listings so it does help to be there. On the positive side, I own three businesses and have free Yelp listings for both of them.
