To Yelp Or Not To Yelp?
Answered by:
I also had a pretty bad experience with Yelp. I finally went with them after they kept calling me and pitching me the service. The sales lady I was talking to had some solid testimonials as part of her pitch, but in the end, I spent $500 per month for 4 months and never saw ONE lead from Yelp. Complete waste of money.
Things might be different in a larger market, but for my industry (Web Design, SEO, Google Ads, Facebook Ads), Yelp did not produce any leads.
I've just started doing Google Ads for my own business and I'm now starting to get great leads, at $10 to $20 per click. These leads are now starting to turn into more business.

It's taken about 6 months of constant publishing of blog posts, building links, and a whole lot of other tweaks. Let me know if you'd like to have a screen share sometime...I'll explain how it works. Essentially, the SEO process is: finding out what people are searching for in Google (keywords), putting those keywords on your site), blogging, getting more links to your site, and tracking your ranking in Google to see how it's working out. Does that make sense?

Interesting, I have the same question.. Maybe just maybe... it's more complex than that. For example - the quality of the image put in the ad.. how about video ad.. - Another person in the web promote business said 120 days - Providing Constant daily promotion, and use of an A/B testing phase- Again how long in the testing phase? The result is Knowledge of the top 3 (groups of words/prhases) - Is there a distiction Between market testing- and following Marketing Ads?

Are you asking about Google Ads or Facebook Ads? These are completely different platforms and require totally different approaches. Usually there is a 30-60 day testing period to ramp up ad campaigns with both Facebook & Google Ads. With Google Ads, you're going to be targeting 50 to 100 keywords to discover the top 10 keywords during your marketing / testing phase.
Also, don't forget about SEO. It's a totally different ball of wax from Google Ads and Facebook Ads. It can take 3, 6, or 9 months of constant work before you start seeing leads from Google Maps searches and Google Searches.
Let me know if you want to do an online meeting where I show you Google Ads campaigns that we've setup and results we've received. It's a free service that I provide to help you out.
