I came here looking for claims like these. It always has baffled me the number of first hand accounts of Yelp salesperson shenanigans with no documented examples.

What do you think is the root of the accusations? Do yelp salespeople promise things they can't deliver?




I know of one cafe owner that had legitimate 5 star reviews removed. They were returned after the bad press.


there are a lot of businesses on yelp. some of them are bound to suck. blaming somebody else is the easiest option and yelp is the easiest target.


I was thinking more about the reports that Yelp salespeople suggest that they can clean up bad reviews.
