Yelp has a wall of shame for businesses caught paying for fake reviews::Yelp has a new tool to help people track businesses that have tried to manipulate their standing on the review platform…
Funny how a company that is known for extortion is parading itself as something that looks out for cheating in reviews.
For real they are the shittiest company ever. Every time they call I block the number right away.
Yelp calls?
Yes I have a small business and I did the stupid thing of listing my business on Yelp. They will try manipulate you into getting into their ads and they ended up charging me $900 for one customer that I got.
My first thought
Same. I remember friends who owned a small restaurant early in the Yelp days who were constantly harassed and extorted. They survived but the threat to their business was palpable.
I’m sure there’s a price to get yourself removed from that wall.
