Yelp Sucks

We purchased a company last year around this time that the lady had no idea what she was doing. She ran 2 businesses under 2 names and never differentiated. The former owner has a horrible local reputation and accumulated a lot of bad reviews for the bike shop side. We purchased the other part of which was a shoe business. Turns out all of her yelp reviews for the shoe store were for the bike shop and now everyone is confused why we’re a shoe store but have bicycle reviews and are reaching out for bike shop inquiries. I reported any review related to a bike shop, good and bad, but Yelp only removed the good ones? They refuse to remove the bad ones. Any advice. I’ve called and done 2nd reviews and have gotten no where.

Looks like they can’t stop. I’m still being harassed by Yelp employees, Yelp affiliates sharing my personal home information along with my personal phone number as well

The person who started this goes by “Jason”

This is beyond gross and reinforces the “Yelp is bad for business” standard towards small businesses

Calling and texting my personal phone number while contacting my office pretending to be a customer is not okay

This started after Jason posted our information

This definitely helps with the lawsuit we are part of but it also feels like intimidation

It will not work

Really gross people out there
