    We wanted to have our number in the phone book in case the older people try looking it up. One could check a computer, but they can look at a phone book if they don't have a computer. We’re in the South Bay and we had three or four different locations of books. But little by little, we just kept DexYP in the arc 'cause they're local. I spoke to DexYP reps before and they were professional, friendly, and helpful. DexYP is doing good and they've always been valuable to us.

    I wasn't happy using another company, and I researched a little bit and started using Dex. I have some good impressions about them, and some are not. They created my Facebook page and they manage it. They're the ones that post on it. But if you went to click on my Facebook page, it's the wrong website. It's the old website from the previous company that I used before. It didn't make a lot of sense to me. On top of that, six out of eight times I called Dex, I leave a message and I don't even get a callback.

    DexYP does our online service that advertises our funeral home. They were part of the Yellow Pages at one time and then they changed over and we kinda left from where we were and went with DexYP when they came around. They have done a good job for us although I do not interact with it as much as I'd like to be able to because of being so busy. I do not have the time to look at who is searching which is a big turnoff for a lot of businesses. It is wonderful to advertise but when someone is hired to advertise for us, they should be taking care of the business and we should not have to be doing that. It was not the case with DexYP. If we are paying for a service, we expect them to take care of it for us.

    We do not have staff here that can constantly monitor the feedback that we get online which a lot of advertising companies want us to do. We run an advertisement and leave it. We like to advertise but we really don't need to. We have been here for more than 70 years and everybody knows where we are after that time. Plus, we are the only funeral home in this particular area. Nevertheless, we are okay with the service overall.

    Original Review: Dec. 3, 2018

    I am very disappointed in DexYP. I have been trying to grow my business with YP for about 3 years and I always get disappointed. Last year I had a rep named Alice that never could do her job and then somehow they past me along to a guy named Josh. Story short I paid 1840 a month for leads that I never received but I had a contract with them so I paid until the end. That was year 2017. And then I found another rep year 2018 that we started a concrete company with and that started in January. They said wait 90 days for your ramp up period. We DID ok in the beginning so I signed my fence company thinking this time it was different but nope same thing.

    I had 3 companies this year 2018 signed and not 1 DID anything. I have not received any leads on neither company. Finally they acted like they were doing me a favor and I requested that they cancel my roofing company and just add the money toward my concrete company. They DID but now I am paying 2000 a month for my concrete business I yet have received any leads. I have spoken to my rep and to the one in charge of my keywords and still no answers or progress. I had a fence company that never received any leads and that's because I would listen to my calls every month to see how we were doing on all 3 campaigns and would send in calls leads to them and let them know that we were not receiving any calls in months and they said I was but I would tell them how is that if I can listen to the leads each month. They are just a big scam. I do not plan to renew this contract.

    DexYP calls me periodically to see if I wanna update my information. They've been very helpful with suggesting what I could do, and showing me where I could be listed in the phone book that would be most beneficial for me. They called and talked about reviewing my advertisement, and we went over it including the cost, and changing some things. They check back once a year to see if there are any changes and suggestions.

    We've always advertised in the Dex Yellow Pages. They've had our phone business for years and they've just added these new things that we could do since then, like digital advertising. Both the outside and the inside reps have been very good. I've had a working relationship with the outside sales rep for years. We talk directly, so if there's anything that I can help them with, I'm sure she's gonna ask me for it. It worked for us and we've developed a good relationship.

    My business depends on advertising and we received little to no responses in their ads. Now that their ads got nothing as far as work and responses for our company they are trying to sue our company for money we don't have. I've gotten threats that I will be sued by their bulldog Convergent. I would suggest not doing business with this company. They are in it to make their money no matter how your business does. They used to have more heart but that has changed so be careful. They don't care for their customers any longer.

    We're looking for all of the things we can do to keep our small business running. I'm the owner's granddaughter and has been leading up the advertisement part in the social media aspect. DexYP is pretty simple with our advertising. Even through Thryv, it's been really easy to learn and go along with. Their reps are always very helpful and nice. I am in constant contact with our Thryv representative. We talk on the phone weekly, which is great, about ways to further the business or any problems I have. She always emails me right back. She's wonderful.

    Our business has gotten more clients and people have reached out. We get phone calls through our Thryv, which means people are looking us up. So although DexYP has not helped exponentially, it had its impact. They're really great in everything they do and the way they help. They're really patient with all of us and I'm glad that this is the company that my grandfather chose to go with.

I've been here since June and I've only made contact with one person since. I haven't heard from a representative and there have been no report cards.

    I was trying to get more business and I saw DexYP's pay-per-view ad on the news. I talked to a guy named Gary and he explained everything. We then signed up for a year and DexYP did pages for us online. We've had a good experience with their customer service, but then they put a different name on my business and put me on a different township. I wasn't happy with those things. Their service hasn't done much and we haven't got enough business where we're at. We're cancelling next year, but it's been a good experience. I would recommend them.

Since they own my website, I find it hard to make a change even if I wanted to.

    My company already had DexYP when I started. I decided to keep them when I upgraded since they have our webpage, Yellow Book, etc. so we didn’t have to do that ourselves. Our webpage upgrades were great. They helped us a lot and we got a lot with less cost from them so that was perfect. Their reps and their customer service were great.

    I've been with DexYP for decades since they were the old Yellow Pages. Usually, I call my rep Lisa. She handles pretty much everything for me. I leave it up to them to go and search for my options because this is not my field. Whatever my sales rep recommends as long as it's affordable, then I go with it. For a while, I had a program with both Dex and whatever the other competing book was. I ended up dropping them and just going strictly with Dex. I don't do any other advertising except through them, and it works out very well for me. They handle my website, the SEO and a couple of different campaigns for me. I'm pleased with them.

    Our situation is same as Mark of Iron Mountain Mi. We fully intended to discontinue advertisement. The contract Expires EVERY Sept. and a REP calls to see what changes, adjustments, we might need, if our information is same for us to renew. Since we had been pre-occupied with keeping our business running, AFTER HAVING DAMAGE FROM HURRICANE IRMA, we neglected to realize this had run out, and I continued to pay each month until I believe Jan 2018. So we called to cancel, and they informed us we need to cancel 3 MONTHS BEFORE the CONTRACT was due to expire, SEPT 2017, IN WRITING, BY MAIL!!!! So, since they wouldn't cancel, they have turned over to a COLLECTION agency and it's now over $1500.00. This company owes us 5 Months backpay as we DID NOT RENEW!!! This is stealing from small business owners. Thank You.

    Received a call from someone at DexYP regarding an unpaid invoice. Last time anyone from YP contacted me was in 2017 for the 2017-2018 directory. The representative gave me some excuses for not reaching out to me before printing, just assuming I wanted to continue using their services. A letter was mailed to the last known address I have for the YP outlining my desire to would no longer do business with them. My reason for stopping the YP service is because I have a way of tracking where my new business comes from, not one single person has mentioned the phone book or online YP as a means to find my business. YP is an antiquated service.

    Somebody said that DexYP was doing good with their advertising and that they use them so I gave them a shot. I’m doing internet, website and some Facebook stuff with them. I did pay-per-click advertising too that I no longer do. Their customer service was good. They check on you a lot. They’re understanding and they take time to explain stuff to you. Their services have been hit or miss though. The pay-per-click internet advertising was not good with them but the website works fine and it doesn’t crash.

    I should have canceled my Yellow page listing several years ago, but kept it last year, intending to NOT RENEW. I always got a phone call (late Winter I think) from a sales rep, asking me what changes I want for my YP listing, and I intended to discontinue, as I get more than enough business from my own website. They NEVER CALLED this year, so I did in the spring, and they told me they AUTO-RENEWED my AD w/o ANY confirmation from ME! I made multiple calls, got transferred multiple times, and was told by a 'manager' that he gets the same complaint a dozen times a day! But he couldn't do anything - he said they 'notified me by mail' that I would be auto renewed if I didn't manually cancel the acct. Being on autopay, I quickly shred my monthly bill, knowing it's taken care of, and never saw any such notification.

    Ridiculous and SLEAZY that they would not only DO this underhanded ploy, but that they REFUSE to cancel after the customer calls it to their attention that NO ad is WANTED. AT&T has a shady history of monopolies, 'breaking up' and reforming, and now "Yellow Pages" is a sinking ship w/ cell/mobile phones eliminating their landline market & stronghold on advertising, they changed the name of their YP to "DEXYP". Very concerning that I filed a complaint w/ Michigan's Attorney General months ago and never heard back. Scary if AT&T is that powerful.

    In November of 2017 I met with Mr ** who was wanting to help advertise our Small business. I explained to him in this meeting how skeptical I was to begin with and well basically just really didn’t have the budget to do 3 or more hundred dollars a month to advertise. He assured me I should hear him out so I did. He gained my trust by telling me he was a Minister as well. He offered me a free trial for almost a year to try out their program with a monitored phone number for calls and a free print in phone book. He told me at that time that I would be contacted by him or one of his partners to discuss how I thought the service was doing and if it had helped us with Towing calls. I was never again contacted Until I kept getting calls for other Tow companies.

    So I contacted them to check and make sure something wasn’t messed up. Last communication with Him or anyone at all was in December of 2017. I received a bill a few weeks ago in October 2018 for almost 600 dollars. Apparently, they took it upon themselves to go ahead with a supposed contract and print my information in the phone book - even though I never spoke to anyone or gave anyone the go ahead. Nor did I even apologize po dove the ad to be printed. Now I am bring til that I have to continue to pay for the next year for something I did not want. I was also told it was my fault because I did not call him back and that he had too many clients to contact me. So I have to pay almost 4000 dollars over the next several months. This will put my business under.

    We maybe do 1 tow call a week and sometimes not even that. I have spoken to client services - they tell me to contact Mr **, I contact him and he just gives me the runaround and blames me. His supervisor won’t even call me back even though she is aware of the issue. I feel this is wrong to do to people especially small struggling businesses already. I want other people to know what they have done to me and my business. Which has been a Family business for over 50 years. We took it over when my father in law got sick to keep it going and in family. We moved the business to Washington county and have struggled greatly getting started in this area.

So as far as I'm concerned I gave $180 and they did nothing and I just called the company and they tried to sell me more and said internet changes so maybe the directories went back to the wrong way.

    I entered into an advertising contract with DexYP. I paid 11 of my 12 monthly payments but became suspect 1/2 way through the contract as to whether the books had been actually distributed. I contacted households in the distribution area and learned that not a single household had received the book. DexYP demanded their final payment and I approached them about this. They sent me to customer service. I reminded the person there that I had spent hundreds of thousands in the past with DexYP and that I was not pleased with distribution. They immediately referred me to fine print in the contract and pointed out that they can decide whether to distribute or not at their choice and that they can change the geographic area or whatever they feel like. They then informed me that they have a lot of attorneys so I have no option but to pay. Very frustrating. Leaving DexYP Advertising.

    We were finally talked into to using DEXYP for digital marketing and signed up for a 1 year contract. The salesman was very nice and talked about all of the support I would have. I am a small business owner and am busy working in the field most days. They never contacted me the entire year of our contract. Literally, not once. Not until they called asking me to renew my contract did I even remember I signed up with them. I had a conversation with the latest person "representing my account" and told her I am no longer interested in continuing my contract. As far as my contract, everything was on auto pay each month. Months later they are telling me I still owe them money plus late fees on a contract that they didn't fulfill. It would be illegal for me to bill a customer for work I didn't do.

    In July of 2017 I got a cold call from my Dex/YP rep to buy the latest internet package. I didn't want it. I was coerced into voice signing a contract before I had a chance to read all the details. I was told I could cancel at any time. Although I repeatedly asked for a printed detail of all the great things they promised, I never received it. There was one problem after another with this 'package' right from the start, so I cancelled it. (They even created a 2nd online listing of my personal information! Which was not part of the deal - but did have the effect of ruining my online ranking - and my business went down by 75%.) YP ignored that. I placed countless phone calls and voice messages to my rep as well as emails to get her help - ALL were ignored. They refused to cancel the contract, continued to bill me (for this cancelled contract), started harassing me with collection calls and now a collection company is harassing me - with an inflated bill.

    I contacted my state Attorney Generals office for help and they got the same runaround I did. I contacted the Dept of Consumer Protection as well as filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission in Washington, D.C. I will be filing this same complaint with BBB. Avoid this company. They manipulate you into contracts and won't let you cancel. Their only goal is to make themselves money - not you.

    We've always had advertising through the phone books going way, way, way back. It was Bell Atlantic and then Sprint, and it turned into DexYP. Over the years, it changed names. We used to have a lot of online and the Google that were costly. But since business isn’t really great, the owner rolled everything back to just basic ad in the phone books. However, we have four different accounts which is confusing. There are two DexYP in Louisiana and one in Texas. I don't know why DexYP isn't billing us under one invoice, but that’s my only problem.

    I seen there are similar reviews regarding this. We started with DEXYP/YP clicks in January of 2018. We have never seen a verified lead of sale regarding any of their actions. We were given a website to check on the stats of it and we never seen a change nor a result whether good or bad. We keep complete analytics on our site and we NEVER seen an outside lead from DEXYP. To us this did not work and we were promised the world. I believe this is a horrible clicks package and I would never recommend this to anyone in a e-commerce style business. We did reach out to our account rep about 6 months into it regarding status and content and his communication was nil, no calls, no help, and all we get is 1800.00 bills every month with no result and no help from DEX YP at all.

    We were promised a resolution and an end to our contract by our account rep and now it seems he is avoiding us with every attempt at a phone call or email. He told us he would end our contract and refund a few months of the service for us. This NEVER happened and I have again yet to see any results of this so called "clicks" program he signed us up for. Horrible, horrible, horrible! We are highly dissatisfied and the BBB will know how you operate. We believe DEXYP is making money off a program that does no good for us.

    I joined last year to do some marketing with my a/c business, and was not getting any calls for central air. I was getting called for window units. So I then went and called my sales person which is not working there anymore, and asked him to look into it and found out they listed me for keywords in window units. So I told him we don’t do window units. We are a central HVAC company. He told me he would look into it and fix it. Months went by and no fix. So now summer is going to end and they are going to fix it at the end? So I canceled my card and services and now they said I owe them money and have a collection guy harass my office people. Now I'm going to give this to my lawyer. Stay away from this company, they don’t care about the small guy, never recommending them for anything.

No confirmation of canceled service given even though I specifically asked for it. Absolutely atrocious service and customer service reps act put out. What is wrong with this picture? Makes me regret paying for YP advertising for 10+ years.

    From my experience with DEXYP. I advise everyone out there NOT to enter in an over the phone recorded contract. I entered with DEXYP in an over the phone contract at late August and until now late October I could not get DEXYP to honor our voice recorded contract nor to be able to speak to the sales manager (John) nor to get a paper contract reflecting all of what we agreed on over the phone. They lie and lie and lie, Yes THEY LIE. I placed several called and I opened several cases to get them to fix my contract to reflect what clearly we agreed on, but I was not successful because I am not dealing with honest business and there is no general manager to investigate the liars.

    Original Review: Oct. 21, 2018

    Sometime in July/August 2018 I was contacted by a DexYP salesman about my webpage and he was very helpful and knowledgeable on the phone and gained my trust. He mentioned the Thryv product (I'd never heard of it) and told me if I signed up I could check it out. It was $59 a month. At the time I was trying to do the internet stuff all on my own. I had to end the conversation as I had calls coming in, but he told me he would immediately send me his direct phone number by email after we hung up and that if I had any questions about the product or how to use it to call him direct. He also said someone from the training team would be calling or emailing me within a couple of days to walk me through the software. I kept looking for an email for a couple of weeks and nothing. I didn't have his number or even the website URL to check it out.

    After a couple of weeks I figured he must have lost all my info and I was never signed up. However at the end of that month I got a bill. Still no contact or information as to how to use it or log on. Two weeks prior I had found an Internet person locally to handle these things since I figured no one from Dex was contacting me. I realized I'm too busy at the time to mess with it and they dropped the ball.

    I finally found a contact number after spending some time and looking at my bill and online. Called and was given the royal runaround from voicemail to voicemail that no one ever follows up on or returns calls. I did finally talk to a couple of people after several calls and days waiting for a return call from the messages I left, to sum it up, I was told they very seldom if ever cancel a contract. I have not set up or used the Thryv product besides trying to find a support number to call. So I file a BBB complaint on 9/20/18. Case # **. Guess what? Still silence. No one has responded from Dex as of 10/21/18. The BBB sent me an email to say there was no response from Dex. Thryv may be a great product and I have no complaints for that or other products DexYP has, But if you totally drop the ball and keep charging me just because you can, I'm not a happy camper.

    We have been with DexYP for five years. In the last few years, they have done the website for Cornerstone Counseling for us, and also an ad in the phone book. On the whole, the reps have been nice in trying to get us situated. Sometimes, after that though, things get a little bit screwed up. Like there was a billing that happened this year. They did not tell us that they were going to be billing ahead. So, the bill was more than what we expected and with budgeting and stuff, that does affect. We did call and talk with them about that to find out what’s going on. And then, two years ago, the wrong picture was put in. The one that we were told that was gonna be put in to replace the original did not get switched. Also, when a customer wants specifics, it’s not always followed through.

    The reps try to check, but sometimes, there’s different answers and different departments. So they don’t know the answer right away, and they have to check and see. In addition to that, we've had four different account managers over the years and every year it changes so there's not been anybody steady that I've dealt with over the years. And while I have the name and the phone number of the latest account manager, it doesn’t mean when I try to call, it’s gonna be of some help. So sometimes, it takes a little bit. However, the service on the whole that we’ve had, is high. It’s just the execution of the different departments that need getting straightened, as well as the follow through. Finally, the phone book used to be published in September. Now it's November and I don't think it’s utilized as much as it used to be by the people. I don't even know if it actually gets delivered to everybody.

    I have been with DexYP since 2015. My rep, Ted, was challenging at first since I was under the assumption that he was going to be monitoring and managing the search engine because that was what he sold us on. He'd make sure that all the data that was being transmitted to search engines were all gonna be correct. Then once we're up and running, we found that the addresses and phone numbers were all wrong. They assigned us a different phone number that they could go ahead and monitor, but that’s not the phone number that goes to us. In fact, there were a couple of things I needed to be changed and I didn't get them changed. Then, DexYP came in with a different package and we signed up for a bigger program where they’re supposed to be monitoring everything. They told me what they’re gonna do and I paid them.

    My business has been advertising with DexYP since they bought out the previous advertiser. Since then the customer has gone from bad to terrible to completely non-existent. Over the past 3 years we have battled with YP renewing our contract at a higher rate without sending us a new contract. They always say the contract was mailed in October showing the renewal rates and that since I never objected to the new rates I therefore accepted the new rates. Every year I was told that they would put a note in our account that a signed contract would be needed in order to renew our contract yet every year it's the same old thing. In addition, they raised our bill by $5.

    When I called YP on this I was told that it was a paperless bill fee that I was notified of in my May bill. Once again, YP is changing my rates with no notification. There was nothing in the bill. This year someone posted a review about our business that was not about our business. It was a 1 star review that was intended for another business alleging they were con-artists. When I contacted YP to remove the review I was told they would investigate. After a few weeks, they closed the claim without contacting me or removing the review.

    When I called no one could tell me why it was closed and I was told to open a new claim. (Note: I have opened 5 claims since February.) When I asked for the reviewer's information so that I could contact that person directly to have the review removed I was told that was not possible. Needless to say, this was in February and I am still battling to have the review removed. I have even contacted our sales agent who never returns phone calls or e-mails. As a small business I will not continue to pay for a service that does not care about their clients.

Yet they never contacted me to tell me there was an issue, just waited for me to notice and did nothing.

    The 3rd party said there was no conflict with what they were doing and what this company were supposed to be doing. When I insisted on action I just got the polite runaround. I filled out the form to contact the supervisor and asked for a phone call... Nothing! For months. I stopped the payment at the bank, but the teller didn't realize it was a card payment and more monies went out to this company for doing nothing! I am very unhappy about this service and do not recommend anyone using it.

    This company has been billing us monthly for a service that provides nothing of value and I have been told I cannot cancel. The customer service representative hung up on me twice and after I continued calling back, put me on hold every 30 seconds to find an answer to my questions, without ever telling me I was being put on hold. None of my questions were answered and I want this service canceled immediately! This company is an absolute rip off! I will continue making attempts to stop their monthly billing of my credit card.

    Writing as I am on the phone for the third time with DEX. I am actually appalled that a company can exist with a product offering so bad coupled with customer service reps that are intentionally shady. I just need to cancel a contract that doesn't renew until January 2019. During this phone call the customer service rep said there was no way for him to do it, talk to my sales rep. Chad. Chad said he couldn't, but that Nicole would call me. Hasn't happened. Just hung up with no resolution.

    After a couple of years of paying for a listing, I canceled back in May (or so I thought) due to some cuts in our advertising budget. I stopped receiving paper bills and assumed everything was taken care of. I just barely received a notice that my account is seriously delinquent and conveniently it was right after my account automatically renewed for another year. My billing was switched to paperless without my consent and no email or other electronic notification was sent either notifying me of the change or even of the invoice and that just so happened after I initially tried to cancel. After speaking to a few different reps, they basically told me I'm SOL and I still owe $750 for the remaining contract. Very shady and not pleased at all!

    We have been trying to cancel our YPSearch program since June as it does not work! We opened a case on August 17, 2018 #11327241 and it was closed without resolution or even a phone call from YP/Dex. Our rep mis-represented the results when we signed up. In fact he really didn't give us the numbers that YP/Dex use to evaluate the performance. If there was some type of performance matrix that YP/Dex uses we should have been made aware of it and/or acknowledged it with an initial or signature on the contract.

    We have a Service Specialist that has already said there is nothing else she can do to help us. She in-fact gave me my reps Regional Directors phone number and when we called it, it did not ring to a YP/Dex employee, it was a wrong number. We then called back and then was given his cell phone number, again a number that was incorrect. I wish I was making up the numbers pertaining to our performance but they come directly from adsolutons.yp.com. Since April 2018 our cost per call has quadrupled! April $116. May $187.32. June $203.31. July $296.99. August 401.23. AND per your reporting the #1 searched keyword is the name of my business. THIS IS WRONG!! Since 1/2 or more of my business is repeat and referral business I don't need YP/Dex for people to click on my name to find me. They already know who I am so I don't need to pay you!

    In addition to your reports the Distribution tab appears to be incorrect and since June no one has been able to offer an explanation. This tab says that 69.1% of my search is being done on Google. If I take the numbers for the Performance Summary page on the reports is show that $14,088 since February 1, 2018 has been spent. If you look at the tab on this report is show that $5905.81 has been spent on Google. Well I don't understand the math. if we spent $14,088 and your reports state that 69.1% is on Google this equals $9734.81 however your report states $5905.81 where is the difference? So as you can see we are on the YP/Dex roller coaster with not way out. YP/Dex is going to put us our of business with their YPSearch.

    I contacted them this morning in regards to the call I received from collections yesterday. Spoke to a woman named Sandra who looked into the matter and called me back to let me know I would no longer be receiving calls from collections and that they would track down the individual who is responsible. I am so grateful to her. My credit has always been important to me.

    Original Review: Sept. 6, 2018

    This company allowed someone to use my name as a contact person and now I have been sent to collections for advertising I never verbally agreed to nor signed a written contract. They played back a recorded verbal agreement that was a man's voice with a name I have never heard of. They claim because I was listed as the contact that I am the responsible party. I asked for proof that an ad was even placed and of course they were unable to provide that due to non-payment. Asked for proof that my phone number received business calls which they were also unable to provide. So basically you can advertise for free. Just give them a false name. In a world full of identity theft this company obviously offers no consumer protection.

Now, we’ve been with them for at least five few years and we’ve been real happy with the service. We definitely get a good return on the advertising dollars that we’re spending, which is the biggest thing. You don’t wanna spend money on something without getting any return. We’ve had consistent good results with them over the years, which is why we’ve stayed with them.

    We’ve had occasional changes done on the website and we deal with their tech team if we have any kind of issues. We deal with their customer service team for billing, which doesn’t happen very often. And they’ve always been good. They’re helpful about it. Even our sales guys are real easy to get ahold of if there’s a question and they’ve always taken care of any issues that have arisen.

    DexYP is worth checking into, to see if the service is an option that they offer, something that works. They cover broad options as far as advertising so it covers all your bases. There's a little bit more of a one-stop-shop kind of feel there and it seems to be a very good set-up for a small business. Especially for a small business starting out that isn’t informed about a lot of different advertising options, they would go with the company that can handle a lot of that in-house.

    Let me start out by disclosing that this review is more of a forewarning to those who are considering using this company. I am not an angry customer but I am an extremely disappointed customer. The lack of disclosure on what I agreed to is not clearly stated. It is left up to the customer to find out what applies to you. Case in point. I went to YP.com to register my business which I had just recently started. I was going to each search engine or portal that I could think of and adding my business. Not long after adding it on YP.com I received a call from a rep from DexYP. She was very professional and courteous in her sales pitch.

    From what I was hearing, I felt that using what I now know is Thryv to manage the search listings seemed beneficial. She wanted me to sign up for the $99 monthly subscription but I was reluctant to commit to that amount. She then suggested the $59 monthly subscription for which at the time I felt more comfortable with. I agreed to sign up. After a few weeks had passed I realized that like all businesses, I needed to regulate what expenses I incur. As a result I determined that my subscription to Thryv had to be cancelled. This is where the problem started.

    The terms of service you agree to are separated into two categories. 1. Online signup 2. Representative assisted signup. If you go to Thryv.com and sign up for the service from there, you can have a 7 day trial for the $59 package and after that, any package you sign up for is on a month-to-month subscription term. If you have a representative contact you and talk you into signing up for any Thryv package, you are locked into a 12 month subscription term whether you like it or not. My mistake was misunderstanding the terms. I interpreted the online signup as resulting from my initial registration on YP.com. I had never heard of DexYP or Thryv before I was contacted by the rep.

    I realize that there are many customers that are completely satisfied with their service. I am not one of them. It is a matter of disclosure. If the difference between being locked into a 12 month agreement and a month-to-month agreement is talking to a person, that should be disclosed. I suspect they can get more guaranteed money by not disclosing to potential customers that by signing up over the phone they are agreeing to a 12 month term. As of now, they leave it up to you to figure it out for yourself. I did try to cancel my subscription and was informed that my subscription was on a 12 month term. So now for the next year I am forced to pay for a service that I do not need nor want. Certainly not wrong. Well within their rights. Cleverly deceptive however. Caveat Emptor.

We were a small business and didn’t want these expenses. When she said it was only $20. She never said per month. I called her after I got the statement and she told me she was sorry for the miscommunication and she would take care of it. Same happened the following month. She never resolved it. Shortly thereafter, we closed our business. I reported it to DexYP instead of the scam rep. I am now in collections for over $200 for what was supposed to be a $20 listing. These are shady business practices.

    I am now working for another business owner. He has had similar issues and has been paying for an extra year because they didn’t cancel his when requested. She came in trying to get him to sign up for next year and told me it was ONLY $99. I said to her, "Flat fee or per month?" Then she sheepishly grins saying “per month” there was another lady with her selling another service who caught the whole thing. I have spoken with another person with their company and now they are requiring me to sign and notarize an affidavit stating our business is closed.

We have been listed over the years with Yellow Pages and the phone book, and every time the renewal comes up, the conversation we have with each other is if people are still in the Yellow Pages or not. Our staff always say that people look in the listings a little bit more than we think. If our staff says so, then those are the real people we wanna reach out to. The Yellow Pages have been helpful for those that still get their phone numbers and information from prints. DexYP has been consolidating some of their areas and they have let us know when and how that was gonna work. We appreciate the heads up before they did that.

    Where do I start with how awful this company is. They should have stuck to phone books, because they know nothing about web design, maintain, transferring or customer support. First off our company made the horrid mistake of using them to “design”, and I use that word loosely, a website for us. Not only was it badly done, but we were not allowed to edit it ourselves nor would they make changes we requested. When they would finally get around to making changes (literally almost two months later) they would either be incomplete, or not what we had asked for. We had interactive links that went nowhere and some just were not even there. I am pretty sure they use monkeys in Dockers to write their code.

    When we had finally had enough we decided to change our hosting to GoDaddy and was going to maintain the website ourselves since they were obviously not capable of handling such a task. I had been in contact with our Business Advisor Heather with hopes that she could facilitate a smooth transaction with her IT people and ours. That was laughable at best. I spent almost two months trying to get our website out of their hands. Back and forth emails between Heather, myself and their URL DNS Technician, Barbara, who kept insisting that they didn’t have a lock on our account that would allow us to transfer our website to another host, despite the fact that I literally sent them screenshots where it showed them having a block on our account that would prevent transfer. It’s kind of hard to argue with something when the proof is right in front of your face right?

    Well one with common sense would think so at least, but argue and deny they did the whole way through the process, parroting the same response each time despite what I was showing them. Once our IT person got it straightened out they neglected to send our website files to us, then had the audacity to tell us they owned our content since they put it together. Well I am pretty sure legally they don’t but since the website they “designed” was subpar at best, and a fifth grader with Wordpress could have done better, I decided not to waste my time with them any longer. Instead I will direct my attentions towards warning any future or potential people looking to start up a website.

    Stay FAR away from these people as possible, they are a plague on the business community and have no intentions of helping you grow your business despite their well-manicured speeches their sales team pitches you. They will take your money to make a quick buck, give you a wretched out of date website and subpar customer service. It’s appalling that they are still even in business and should be ashamed of themselves preying on small companies. I also am pretty sure half of the positive reviews are fake and paid for, because every other person I have spoken to has nothing but ill words for this sorry excuse for a company.

    Years ago I intentionally advertised with our local phone book. As the years went on I renewed my business advertising until I decided that I was no longer interested in growing the business any more than the customer base I had already established. I reduced my ad with them so only the business name, address & phone number appeared. Years went by & along came DexYP that took over the local phone book. To my knowledge I never renewed any contract with them however I actually paid the yearly fee for a few years as it was just another bill that came & got paid.

    Finally I realized I hadn't been contacted for any renewal & they even had the listing incorrect regarding the business name & address (business had incorporated & address changed over 10 years ago), so when I received several bills I called them and spoke with someone regarding all of this. I was told they'd correct the matter & no further bills would be sent. However, the harassing phone calls have continued & now it has been turned over to a collection company. I am about to contact my attorney if this false charge continues.

    Do not fall for how good of a product Thryv is because it is not. I signed up not even a month ago and found out the reports they ran on my online profiles to get me to sign up were fake. They wanted to manage my online accounts but can't because I already have someone doing them but was unaware that they were in good hands. Plus the calendar feature is very limited. You cannot turn off reminders to clients if you only want to use it for personal use. Then when you talk to your "Client Care Advocate" all they say is "I'm sorry". I want out of my contract because they cannot fulfill their end of the agreement, plus it's breach of contract in my opinion. They refuse to let me speak to a supervisor saying there isn't one.

    Somebody from DexYP came to us and told us the services they can do and we thought we could use them. They do a website for us and do the coding. They also do a little bit of a social media stuff, like Facebook, and send out stuff on there. They made the website more professional and it's better than I would have done it, so their service is valuable enough. However, I didn't really notice a difference 'cause customers just go in, look at the website for an address or phone number, and that's pretty much it. Occasionally, we call the customer service to put some info on the website like change the hours or that we're doing a Christmas sale, and they do that.

    When the representative contacted me for the first time not only was I a new small business owner I was 6 months pregnant. I rarely had time to speak with the gentleman who continuously called me over the next 3 months. Finally I decided to move forward after being convinced that this software and website was going to save a lot of time and take a lot of stress off of my hands. Unfortunately after my daughter was born I found myself with even less time than I had before. I never even signed into the Thryv software for the first time.

    After discussing this with my husband we decided that it wasn't worth it $200 a month and decided to cancel. Little did I know I was stuck in a 12 month contract. I took for granted that The representative I spoke with had morals and an ethical standard being that he worked for a corporation. I was adamant through this entire process that I did not want to sign any contracts. I don't even sign contract for my mobile phone and I use it every day. I was assured there was nothing to worry about. In addition this was going to make my life so much easier. When I called to cancel I spoke to my representative who then forwarded me to his manager who did assured me that the cancellation was being submitted. They never mentioned that I was in a contract.

    Two weeks later I noticed I'm still being charged for the software and website so I called the 1-800 number. At this time I was informed that I could not cancel because I agreed to the terms and conditions of the 12-month contract. When I asked for a copy of this recording they stated that it wasn't in the recording but they did state that I would receive my terms and condition via email. It only mentions the 12-month contract in the email. apparently they don't feel it important to mention that it's a 12-month contract prior to sending you the email or the recording. And if you don't respond within 3 days to cancel you're stuck with the software for 12 full months.

    Call me old-fashioned but I tend to do business on somebody's word. This gentleman took advantage of the fact that I had very little time to even read emails or answer his phone calls. I would definitely not recommend the service or DexYP as a whole to any new company or individual. The representative continues to lie about misleading me. I have researched the reviews and I am not the first person that this is happened to. They always fail to mention the contract. I only gave them one star because I had to.

    After this post, DexYP did email within a day advising the account being deleted and the balance is corrected. He also explained that there was not a notion from my September 2017 call. I am glad this has been resolved and the account has been cleared.

    I feel confident that this has been resolved and that is all I was asking for. I am changing my review to a 3 star because they did respond this time in a quick time frame and cleared up my issues.

    Original Review: Aug. 20, 2018

    I had called to check when our advertising was due to expire as we had closed our business September 2017. After almost a year (June 2018) I called again under the assumption that the ad ended in Aug. The rep told me that NO. It auto-renewed in Jan (again for a business that closed Sept 2017). Ironically they claim to have called us to confirm, not possible as the number for the business has been shut down so there is no way they called to confirm. Then the story changed and was that we had an auto-renew contract, even though they had been told we closed and did not document it.

    Then I tell them to cancel it. I am not paying for an auto-renew that I didn't authorize and did not get a call on, they say it is in the contract. I sent in all the notarized "out of business" forms months ago and now getting bills threatening me with collections. FOR AN ACCOUNT THAT THEY RENEWED. I can't get them to call back and I called last week and was told they would send a message up to get this dealt with. I sent an email this morning and if they don't respond this week I will file complaints with an attorney and the Attorney General.

    At a glance this seems to be a good solution but after signing up for a trial (you need your credit card to do so) I realized that they do NOT have marketing automation like advertised. Simply the ability to communicate with one message at a time. Do not be confused, their use of the word 'campaign' is not accurate. Additionally, you are required to call back to cancel (which I did and was told I had to call back because their system hasn't updated with my account information). Don't waste your time.

So then I had to call back and I spoke with somebody else and got some of the things fixed but not all of the things were fixed. There’s still stuff on the website that is not right and I just haven’t had the chance to call back again. This has been going on for 3 weeks. I had made the changes myself before and at that time it was Dex. I believe they were still out of Texas because I had a campaign manager and all that had switched and there’s no campaign manager anymore.

I wasn’t looking for anything. And when Dan came in and explained what Dex was all about and what they could do for us, we needed to have some help with our website.

    We needed help with generating clientele watching in the door that was actually looking at an iPhone that was getting information. We would pop up if they Googled contemporary furniture, Orange County contemporary furniture, Laguna Beach, or Newport. And at first, it took a while for us to get to where we’re generated on the first page. And as time went on with the help of DexYP, they helped us implement it so that we now are generically on the front page all the time ‘cause Google now recognized us. We paid fairly dearly for that in the very beginning. We went from an SEO to an SEM or vice versa. We started out with one where we paid for clicks then we scaled down. Once we get generically set up with Google, we didn’t have to put the money into it as much anymore. I was very happy with it.

    I would recommend DexYP especially if it’s a newer company who does not have a web presence. If you were any company, that would be important for you to be able to get yourself out in more of a media rather than ink ‘cause ink these days doesn’t draw the clientele, especially younger ones. You would draw the older clientele still, but not the younger.

They give you a 72 hour cancellation window so if you sign up on a Thursday, make sure you stay up until 2am to really take a deep dive – otherwise you're in for a 12 month commitment for overpriced nonsense.

    I reached out to DexYP at a point where I needed to do something more with our website. We were searching for help for it as well as general search engine help. I had positive interactions with their reps and they were very professional. Some of the processes on how to do certain things on the website are a little overly-complicated. Still, DexYP's team has been very kind to say that if those things are above our level of technology, then we could just send them the stuff and they could put it on our site for us. I would recommend this company to others. Most of the people who found us in the last year and a half did so through the internet, either through DexYP or through the services that they have us advertised on.

    We used the old Dex text service and while there was also a huge issue with Dex (lost my entire text list when they changed providers) the old interface was simple, straightforward and reliable and the pricing was great! Thryv's platform tries to be everything to everyone and is a terrible option for those wanting to send text messages. The creation page is awful - multiple sections - the delivery is slow and erratic (sent a text at 3:30pm and wasn't delivered until 3am - and then delivered twice!) and the general premise behind the platform is flawed (companies don't send the same type of content via text as they do via email). I don't use the email program but if it's anything like the text delivery - I'm sure it's filled with bugs. My recommendation is to find a company that specializes in either text or email because this all in one is nothing but trouble!

After I finally spoke to Kyle ** in resolution I was informed that if I want a copy of the contract I need a court order. How can someone follow the rules of a contract and not get a copy to know what the rules are? How do I know that is my contract date? I was told I was sent out a letter to review the advertising content however I never received that. I have been here for 2 years and I haven't seen one yet. Unbelievably my contract renews in July, but I have to give 30 days notice, and I missed it by 28 days. This contract was supposedly in place in 2010. There has been turnover here in the last 8 years.

    DexYP has a reputation that made us end up with having their service. We've been using them for years and my contact person is great. However, the changes are terrible. About two months ago, they started to keep adding and changing different things that are not working on this end and they're not able to fix them. And I'm not the only one that's complaining about them either. They haven't handled it yet and their customer service is waiting to get answers from their managers.

    Now, I don't know where some of the calls or my leads are coming from. So DexYP needs to stop changing programs. When it's working perfectly fine, there's no need to be adding items that nobody is asking for that are causing more confusion than good. They need to figure out all these issues that everybody has been having and get them fixed so that we can run our businesses. And if you're considering DexYP, be cautious on what products you'll be getting because sometimes they're not worth it right now. Some are good, some are not.

I'm now stuck with a contract that doesn't expire until November or February--it's hard to keep track because any changes on the account ends up extending the contract.

    I am so tired of dealing with this terrible company. I have been with them since 2012. At first just yellow page ads. Then, I stupidly signed up for an online marketing campaign with them and the results were subpar. I signed a contract and felt obligated to perform my end of it, even if they did not really perform their end of the bargain. When the end of the contract was approaching, I both called and sent in a written notice terminating the online portion of the contract, as I was required to do. I got a confirmation number that they received my termination notice.

    The next month, I got an email notice of an invoice that included payment for the terminated service. I called them and explained that it was not supposed to be charged for the terminated part of the service. The person on the telephone confirmed that I had terminated the contract and that I should not and would not be charged. When I got my credit card bill, they had charged me for the terminated services. I had to file a complaint with my credit card company to cancel the improper charge.

    I also have told the account rep to only call me on my work number as I do not always have my cell phone with me and do not always check messages. Please, I reiterated, only contact me at my business number. Nope, she calls the cell. I got a mildly threatening message yesterday evening that my charges were going to go up considerably for the print ads unless I accepted her offer for a “package.” I have hated my dealing with this terrible company and want to cease doing business with them ever again. This means that I will not have print ads in the phonebooks, because they are the only game in the entire state, but so be it. I refuse to be threatened and toyed with by this company any longer. I plan to seek an attorney to explore options for redress on how I have been treated.

    Very disappointed with the service advisor of this company, when he came and explained to us what Thryv was we were unsure if it was something we wanted to do, he told us that we should give it a trial run and if we didn't like the services we were free to cancel at anytime. Not one but two people heard this service advisor say this, as we are learning more features of programs we have to have in order to run our business we find that these programs have many features that we chose to possibly use Thryv for, when we send emails about canceling we are given the run around about who has to cancel the services.

    Finally call to cancel after 2 weeks 'cause we are not getting anywhere with emails and am told that we are in a 12 month contract, never once were we told about a contract and again the service advisor told 2 people that the account could be canceled at any time.

The mailing didn’t happen. The Facebook account, was not as represented. I tried contacting the gentleman that I spoke to when I started this process and he is no longer with the company.

    I spoke to another young man about my account and he apologized to me and very honestly told me that they were trying to work out the kinks. They were going faster than they had expected from the buyout and sometimes things happen. His honesty is why they got two stars. The rest can learn from him. My business is based in Hendersonville and I got a call that I am being charged for an ad being run 5 hours from our office that we never approved. In fact we specify we’re told we could not run ads no more than 20 miles from our office.

    Things happen, when your employees tell your customers something that isn’t accurate. Use it as a teaching moment and move on. You lose more business not accepting responsibility and being accountable. You’d be surprised how far a genuine apology can go and an effort to make thing right as opposed to becoming defensive and deflecting.

It was all professional and that's what I've been dealing with for the second half of my experience with them. The actual management of what they're doing for me is very good and they give me all the reporting I need.

    The biggest issue I had is that I went into the service knowing that it might not be something that would work for my business, but I was willing to try it. And I have, so far, not realized any return from it. That's a little hard to swallow. But I would not be able to identify the specific problem other than my business might not just work this way and I might not be able to get customers this way.

Yes this has dragged out for this long. Provided is a letter from DEXYP that they would correct the issue by reversing outstanding bills that they claimed and put into collections with my account. They have also offered a refund credit that was suppose to be sent in a form of a check in amount of a $1000.00.

    I am warning all customers with DexYP that if anything ever goes wrong you will spend hours and hours dealing with people to don't care about you. Apparently 25+ years of business, approximately $60,000.00 in business over the years means nothing. I settled on getting a $1000.00 credit rather than the full year paid in full $3660.00 for a ad campaign that was fraudulently pushed through by a representative that no longer works at DexYP. I fault myself for being ignorant and even agreeing to work with DexYP. I should have been refunded the full amount. Please keep in mind all of this was automatically withdrawn from my credit card on file with DexYP. I am hoping that a class action lawsuit will be file against them. Fraud and nothing but lies...

    Original Review: Doing business with YP Marketing Solutions/DexYP is a big mistake. I have been doing business with Yellow Pages for over 25 years. Most of the time the advertising packages goes without any issues. Several times throughout the years there have been minor to major errors. I would just let them go as the issues were partially resolved. My 2016/17 advertising package was the final straw. The advertising contract was never authorized. I assume that I did not have a contract that because the sales representative never called me back; he claimed that he tried to contact me repeatedly. This could not be verified by YP. As a result of him not being able to get hold of me; I was told that this representative had a manager sign off and force the contract through without my permission.

    I personally did call the representative number and left messages that I would like to speak with him before the deadline. He never did so I assumed that the advertisement for 2016/17 would not be placed. My concerns originally were the cost effectiveness of the packages they offered. I also wanted to also inquire about a change my web address and other information on my listing. Since the sales representative never call me back I assumed I would not have advertising package with YP/. In May of 2017 I discover I was being billed the unapproved YP advertising in additional to significant higher amount than previous years. I looked on the internet and print ad. I call to inquire about this billing and that I did not approve the contract.

    I ask the billing department to provide me with a statement of the breakdown cost. The billing department said that there was a huge mistake so they claimed and that I was billed the standard nondiscounted rates. I asked if I could get the name of the sales representative responsible for the contract. They were unable to provide me with the Sales representative's name. I was told that he was no longer with the company. The billing agent told me that for now they can credit me all of the errors in the billing but would not be able to cancel the contract. I would have discuss this with YP sales division. Since then I have been in discussion with YP trying to resolve my dispute. I was never given the itemized list billing statement per my request.

    During this time I decided that I would stop making payments until I get someone to discuss my contract. My account by the way was put into collections with some company. As of recent I was put in contact with a representative by the name of Todd. At the beginning Todd made it sound like they were really concerned about my account. I became concerned as Todd kept delaying his promise to call me back. I kindly accepted his reason for delays in responding to my dispute. This dragged out for about a week and half. Todd tried to make it sound like they gave me huge credits and adjustments to my account already. I told Todd that the adjustment were only the error in my contract; even the billing department sent me a letter of apology for the error in the billing. I stated that the error in billing should not be part of the contract dispute. These credits and adjustment are mistakes admitted by the billing department and YP Advertising.

    I then requested for an itemized document of the billing period and the contract and what was credited to my account. Keep in mind these numbers were discussed over the phone. Todd kept insisting that we offer me a huge amount of credits to my account. I kindly ask for a printed document of the credits and adjustment because it was difficult for me to understand what I was being credited for. The conversation immediately became confrontational and defensive. I was told that I am going in circles and I have no idea of what I was talking about and/or doing. He kept telling me I did not listened to a single thing he said and that he has spend 30 minutes of his time trying to explain to me.

    The representative told me that he is done with this conversation and that he would send me an email within the next day or two and would like a decision from me. There was never any discussion on what I needed to make a decision on. It has been several days now and no email as promised. He wanted me to text him my email so that he could send me an email. I simply asked, "Will you email me the breakdown of all the cost and credits." Again he insisted that I am not listening and that a email will be sent discussing the conversation and facts. I was then again told that he was done with anymore conversation.

    If this is how YP Advertising/DexYP treats its customers; I highly caution to do business with a company that has this attitude. Rambling off numbers and circumventing the original premises of the dispute seem to be problematic with YP. Base on most of the reviews on Consumer Affairs; It is apparent that there is a major problem with how they do business and treat their long term customers. Their contract agreement is designed lock you into a contract even though I never agreed or signed off on the Ad contract. There is a clear breach of contract by the sales executive. There is no proof that he called repeatedly. I even ask for a copy receipt of the certified letter of contract. To this day none of this has been provided.

    The customer service team at DexYP is very personable and knowledgeable. We reached out to them for Google Ads and online advertising and with their service, I've seen an increase on loans. Their service has been very valuable.

    I needed somebody to take care of my computer stuff ‘cause I’m not real good at checking it and I don’t know what DexYP is providing since once I told them what I wanted but I haven’t heard back from them. They did this online booking but I don’t have online booking, so I had to say “Hey…” and they took it off right away. It’s done pretty good for me in that I get a lot more customers calling from different areas, but it just seemed strange that nobody got back to me.

    We've been working with DexYP for seven years and it's been a good experience. I have their service that optimizes my online presence and everything is fine. I'd recommend it and I'd tell others to go for it as well.

    Our company reached out to DexYP when we were looking for web page design and advertising services. Their service has been valuable to our company. They've managed a website for us and we've had a good experience with their customer service. It all started 30 years ago with the Nynex Yellow Pages and they transformed over time.
