All of a sudden getting Yelp message leads.

I regret ever making a Yelp page and I want absolutely nothing to do with the platform. We are rated 4.9 on Google but 2.8 on Yelp! They hide all of our 5 star reviews but let the 1 stars from new accounts stick. For this reason, I don’t go on their website, I don’t use their app for personal use, and try to avoid ever clicking any of their links.

Well now all of a sudden we’ve gotten 2 message leads in the last week. I responded to one which of course had no response to us. The second one I just ignored because I don’t even know if these leads are real. It feels like more of an attempt to get me using their platform than anything. Also, if I am being honest, not sure I want a customer from Yelp who clearly sees our low rating there. I wish I could just delete my entire profile there and move on. And what pisses me off mostly is when they show on search results saying “Updated August 2026” when I haven’t even been on the account at all. All of this is very frustrating.
