    We first signed up with DexYP as we needed a text reminder app to use and something way just text messages. We have been using their services for a year and a half. It is helpful for the messages and everything we need for it. We were able to upload our full contact list into Thryv and we never had a problem with doing any of it. All of our customers were always getting texts and everything was always on time. But, whenever I put a ticket in, I would need to follow up to see where we were at because we would not get a call back sometimes.

    Unfortunately, we were not able to use any of the extra services that Thryv was offering us because we were not able to remove a link that customers could go in and then change our calendar time or request different times. It kind of made it very confusing in our office so we need to cancel our Thryv and DexYP subscription. We have spoken with somebody last week about it. It was great though that DexYP tweaked everything to be towards what we needed up until the point when we were not able to remove the link.

    DexYP provides our internet and text marketing and they call periodically about every four months. My rep is always going over what our numbers are, how things are going, how we should change keywords and try to get a better market. And I have seen our numbers increase some. He seems to be watching what's going on and how he can better try to reach out to patients or new patients or always asks if there's anything we need to change. They are forthright for as much as they can be for advertisement.

    We had a general manager here who was spending a ton of money on advertising and Google AdWords. When we got rid of him, we had to cut back on a lot of our expenses. When I researched, I found DexYP to be very reasonable in price for what they offer, and I just wanted somebody who would take and run it, and I wouldn't have to deal with it. They would just set up my marketing, web page, AdWords, Google Words, and dialog with us. DexYP did, and it's been working tremendously. It also fits my budget. Instead of spending $3,000 a month, I told them $1,200 was all I could afford and that's what they put me into.

    Greg was the rep that came to see me, and he's been consistent with follow-up. Benjamin is my monthly contact who calls me every month to go over reports and overactivity, making sure the words are working and we're getting the bang for our buck. DexYP been very consistent and I'm very happy with it. Now we are getting a ton of calls and a ton of leads on Thryv.

    Other friends of mine in the trade have used DexYP before. It was the first thing I’ve seen other people use. The experience with their customer service has been on and off. Depending on who’s on the other end, sometimes, the customer service is good and sometimes, it’s not the best. But for the most part, I’m satisfied with it. We're using the Thryv for our website. We were also in the print. The service has been of great value to us. It has helped us get our name out there and helped people find us a lot easier. I’m pretty satisfied with DexYP.

    When I signed on, I was promised tons of services to promote my company. The rep and I thoroughly discussed what services I would be purchasing and what Thryv would do in each instance. At the 6 months report, they had done nothing and generated ZERO contacts. I called and I was told that I had to do it all. I asked what I was paying them for, if I wanted to do it all, I wouldn't have signed with them! There was no answer. I canceled the contract and was told that I had to pay for the whole year, whether they did anything or not. I cancelled. The contract ended in Sept, but they continued to bill me. I called in Jan and they said they said they would credit the additional months. They showed that it had been cancelled but continued to bill. So I got no service, no increase in business, and it cost me money ($ 708 contract) and time to clean up the mess. DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM!

    DO NOT create an account with DEX. I would give 0 stars if allowed to. We have been customers of theirs for many years. This year we decided that we were not receiving any benefit from having an ad in the phone book anymore so when I received the letter to Change or cancel our ad I called and canceled. I called on Oct 1st, the deadline on my letter said to call before 10/9. The lady showed me a few things by showing me her computer screen, asked why I wanted to cancel and said they were very sorry to lose us as customers. She told me I would receive a bill for Oct and November yet to finish out our contracted time. No problem. I paid Oct and Nov bills. I received another bill in Dec. I called to explain that I had cancelled and that I must have received this bill in error.

    They are now denying that I ever even called them. They “searched my number” and it shows that I have never called them from that number. I told them I have proof of my call on my phone bill and have screenshots from my computer when the lady was showing me her screen. They are still denying that I ever called. They offered to cut my bill in half for the year. I told them that wasn’t fair because I called and cancelled. I asked for a name or Id number for who I was talking to and they refused to give me one. They said it would show in their records. So here comes Jan with another bill and late fees added. I called again today and they are still denying I even called and again offered to cut my bill in half. I asked to talk to a supervisor and was told that none were available.

    It wasn’t until I informed them I would be contacting a lawyer that they finally connected to me to a voicemail of someone and let me leave a message. I cannot believe that after years of being a faithful customer that they would treat me like this. I have paid on time every month for years and now they are treating me like crap over $534. It is not my fault that someone on their end did not complete the cancellation. I’ve offered to send them proof of the call by sending my phone records and screenshots and they say that those aren’t valid proof of my call. I cannot believe they would treat a customer who has been loyal to them for years like this. What a scam. I am very disappointed in their customer service!

    I received two letters in the mail today regarding a conversation the letter claims my company had with a Jacqulyn ** which never took place. About services we never signed up for. I called the number and spoke to an Ashley who was very polite and found that the system showed that Jacqulyn had spoken to someone but there was no actual record of the call or recording. They did not have my name or that of the CEO, in fact they had no name as a point of contact for my company. The number listed as my company's number also did not match my company's actual number. So no actual record of a call between myself (President), the CEO and this Davis lady.

    Services were due to begin in April of this year however, according to Ashley, even that would not have taken place because they had no signed contract on file. My situation was simple as there was nothing on file to back up the claim the letter made, but it makes me wonder how many other companies out there begin to get bills from DexYP for services they did not sign up for and are not using. I would encourage management to look into the practices of this Jaqulyn ** and see if she is signing companies up without their knowledge. In which case, this would be fraud. Happy New Year!

DEXYP is YP. A business that has lost it way and brick & mortar status, so they use hacking as a way of business. We can only hope the FTC will chime in as they have done with Facebook. Their management lets these Salesmen continue without any accountability. Lastly, being in Texas it's a very shameless company stealing from hardworking commission only customers. STAY AWAY is little to what I have lost and what they will do to continue their "hacking" practices in America.

    Stay away from this company. Make sure you read your contract thoroughly because it doesn't benefit you. The contract covers DexYP for the crap they pull. I had to request a copy due to the fact I met with my representative and signed digitally. I have been a customer for more than 10 years with DexYP. In the last year I have had nothing but issue after issue with billing. In the beginning of 2018 DexYP withdrew double the amount of my monthly budget for my company's digital marketing. If it wasn't for me staying on top of my business bank account monthly I never would have caught it. After I discovered that double the amount was drafted out my account causing other checks to bounce and bank charge for overdraft fee, I immediately contacted them and they said they had to investigate it my claim.

    Long story short it took 2 months before the extra money taken was refunded with not even apology for my extra expenses causing a financial burden. If you are to do any business with this company keep a close eye on your bank account. Lastly, due to political reasoning, Google no longer allows my industry to advertise on AdWords (pay per click) as of July 2018. I had DexYP managing the account and paying a monthly fee to do so. Well come to find out I was paying double monthly for managing the account. I found out when Google AdWords no longer allowed my industry to advertise and I contacted DexYP thinking that since I have been a long time valued customer that they would have some kind of sympathy and void the contract due to fact there was nothing to manage.

    They told me that I was under contract and they would charge me half of what I paying monthly to manage my account. This is when I found out that DexYP had been charging me double of what I thought I was paying. I questioned my representative and she told me that I was sent an email of the change in charges. Yes an email. Long story short I had to pay $500.00 month for something that couldn't be managed for six months I thought.

    My contract was to end November 2018 and suppose to be the last payment. I checked my account December 21 and another $500.00 was pending. I called DexYP immediately and spoke with billing and she said what I was seeing was not a payment that the payment would be prorated on December 24. Guess what $500.00 was withdrawn. Now I can't wait until the next business day to make another call to hear what they have to say. I'm sure there is some hidden reasoning for the withdrawal. Again, stay away from DexYP. Look elsewhere for your advertising needs.

    Our story is much like others, we were with Yellow Pages and migrated over. We did not allow them to take over our phone number or websites at the advice of our lawyer, who saw this coming. We had a good few years with them and then the bills went much higher than the return which THANKFULLY we tracked. We decided to cancel, had several discussions with our rep who confirmed there was no auto renewal, etc., and tried to work on a better return but in the end it was the same story. We sent a cancellation notice to our rep prior to renewal, and contacted Dex. We have a letter from our rep and Dex confirming our cancellation.

    When our accounting speaks with Dex they advise that "oh your contract actually ends next month" over and over. We heard that for several months and accounting paid what they stated was due at the time. This company has invoiced us for months, threatened us with legal action, collection departments, etc. We have paid the last few invoices to make the account and invoiced amount current with Dex via legal advice. Dex invoiced our accounting dept. whom doesn't handle contracts so even though the contract has been canceled, all they saw were invoices and someone who tried to send us to collections. Dex knowing invoiced and collected the monies for a canceled contract. We will not be paying anything else and will seek to have the funds they unlawfully collected from our accounting department for a canceled contract returned via legal action if needed. This at one time was a great company to work with!

    I paid for the premium package advertising, $225. Received 2 missed calls, for first month's advertising and not good. I explained to my business Advisor- Marketing Consultant, multiple times I need more calls for my money. His answer is that he will look into it. The following month I received one missed call, And nothing in over 60 days.

    I've tried communicating with my Rep and nothing. I was told that I could cancel at any time however I called the main office in Bristol, TN and they said I cannot cancel unless my account is current. I now owe $450 and climbing. I've received 3 missed calls and in order to cancel I will have to pay the $450, so a total investment of $675. Does this sound like a good investment to anyone? Well my Rep is not answering his phone and this person approached me and guaranteed he could help me get lots of calls and I fell for it. Never Ever Again.

    I requested via email that my subscription/contract to the services of Yellow Pages be cancelled immediately upon arrival of my communication. Not because I lacked interest but because of the inadequacies of the salesman and services given to ZVB by DEXYP. I tried in numerous occasions to contact my salesman because I was getting calls for services that I did not offer, and dogs which I did not breed. After several months of constant attempts to reach my salesperson and DEXYP I was told that the salesman was no longer with the company. During this time I never received any follow-up calls nor contact from the salesman of DEXYP. I tried calling the central offices as well, I left messages requesting assistance, insisting I get help and the necessary corrections to optimize my appearance online.

    Finally after several months of trying I received an email out of the blues concerning my account and a sales manager to attend to my complaints. I explained to the gentlemen what had transpired, he then said he would try to help me and would come back to me with a resolution. When he called back he excused himself and said nothing could be done because his superior manager could not authorize a reduction of the monies owed and that he would promise to set up a new campaign moving forward. He also stated that DEXYP could not do anything with the past charges or errors of the previous salesperson because he was no longer an employee of theirs. You can only image how irate I was! Once again I proceed to request that all agreements be cancelled and that I no longer wanted anything to do with YP.

    We are an old Yellow Pages customer going back 40 plus years. We continued with DexYP when it took over Yellow Pages. We tried unsuccessfully to cancel Dex 2 years ago. Nevertheless, we paid our monthly bills for that year. Last year we again informed Dex that we no longer wanted their services. The bills kept coming. This time we refused to pay. Over the past year I have tried to get Dex to provide a written statement acknowledging our cancellation. We just received the following statement from Dex "Your request to cancel was received as of 12/18/2018. This date only indicates your request to cancel and is not indicative of the actual date your product will cancel." In the meantime they turned the account over to a bill collector. We'll see them in court. If you experience a similar situation try sending a Registered Letter with a Return Receipt Requested and treasure the receipt.

It's not for anything that they've done, but we've had pieces of it everywhere and we wanted to consolidate it. The last person I spoke to was fine. But then the woman who was "helping me" was not extremely helpful. Initially, she said that she didn't know how we could move what we needed to over to another company because we still had a contract with Dex. I said that we were willing to pay for the contract and that we just wanna move forward with the move. She said that she didn't know if she could do that and that she needed to check with someone. But then, she just left me hanging.

    I called up to find out what was going on and if they had gotten the service switched over. Her remarks were that she couldn't talk to me because Jean was the contact. I then said that she didn't send me an email to which she replied that she sent it to Jean. She should have been sending everything to the company email because I'm the one who checks the company email so I didn't see anything.

DexYP continues to say that I owe them money every month for a contract I DID NOT ACCEPT. I did NOT receive a phone call to renew a contract. I DID NOT receive a letter of notice about any new "auto-renew" process. I received absolutely NOTHING. I closed my business and contacted them to tell them my business was closed and that I did NOT want to renew my contract. They renewed it for me with absolutely NO authorization to do so. I did not consent the practice of auto-renew, nor did I accept a new contract.

    Funny thing is, no matter many representatives or managers I speak to, NO ONE will give me a copy of any contract I have signed or acquiesced to accepting.

    We purchased a company that had an existing contract with this "company" so we had to see it through. January 2017 came around we were adamant that their services were no longer needed and to cancel our account, both in writing and in phone calls. Lo and behold months later, the account was never cancelled and we get a demand letter stating we owe 3 months worth and if we don't pay, they will send us to collections. We talk to no less than 2 "reps" who have no clue what is going on and cannot tell us anything outside of the scripted "I will have to call you right back", which never happened.

    3 or 4 months ago, we finally get a response stating that our account has been closed and we can toss any further invoices. Yesterday, we received an $800 statement for past due invoices, and another demand letter threatening collections. We called today and had to leave messages for our 2 "reps". Got a callback; we are still contractually obligated to pay this ransom as our account was never actually closed. I there is ever a dishonest company, this is it. If there is ever an incompetent company, this is it. Save your $$ and run to another company. They have cost us over $2000 and have not brought in ZERO revenue.

They would not let me get out of my contract after all the complaints and threatened to send me to collections if I did not fulfill the commitment. Their SEM was so-so.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

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.

    Excited to work with YP to help generate leads for my small assisted living business. My Account Manager was excellent and responsive. However after four months without generating a qualified lead and several changes to the program, we decided to end the program. YP agreed to a refund, but only ended up credited me half the amount. After multiple calls over the last fourteen months, the Customer Service dept indicated there were extra invoices and also it has been too long for a dispute.

    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. DexYP is good.

    DexYP was referred to my business. Initially our marketing rep was very helpful - always contacting us, help to rebuild our website. In the beginning there were signs that, one person didn't know what the other one was doing. But you know, I'm like, "Ok but our rep, always got things taken care of." Then after a few months we wouldn't hear from her. Another rep starting calling saying he was the new rep. Ok, so as time went on the website was finally up but DEXYP, never wanted us to make changes to anything they did wrong. For example the rep had the wrong prices, sizes on a number of items. There was no increase in rating on IG, nor FB. I was posting more than the rep was. The unprofessionalism when you call is unbelievable. Nobody could ever give you a straight answer. It was, "Jold on," or "Someone would have to call you back." I feel like I was robbed, by DexYP, I would never recommend them to anyone ever.

To begin with our rep did a fake review of our company in order to give us a better online presence. Should have been our first indication this is an untrustworthy company! Second, after months of complaining that we were paying and getting no calls they put a tracker system on for us to verify our calls. BEST THING EVER! NONE of the calls we were getting were even for us!! They were looking for different people, different companies, it was constantly the wrong number.

    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.

    DexYP reached out to us and they have been very accommodating when they come to have me sign or go over new contracts or areas that they service. We do prints for phone books, then they do the digital platform where I can see the analytics. It shows me the call tracking and I like that they use a unique phone number so that I’m able to track the calls. Otherwise, there is no way to tell if the phone book is actually working or not. So, that was a big selling point for us. Our sales have increased since we started doing digital marketing and 90 calls a month equate to quite a bit of sales. We’re receiving calls, I can hear the calls and it shows how long they were on the phone. Any call that is longer than two minutes is gonna turn into a sale.

They have double billed me (created 2 different accounts for our business), split their contract so that part of it runs 14 months and part of it 12 months, and generally ** it up. Luckily, I pay monthly and not by credit card, and I pay what I owe (based on my contract) and not their wacky billing. They continue to argue with me for $309.98 that they say I owe. I am a $20,000+ customer, and I am done. All this to appear in the Yellow Pages! Who really uses the phone book anyway- whether printed or online? I am too busy to deal with this nonsense.

    DexYP's customer service team has been great. But I’ve been handling the account for a year and I’ve already had three team members that I have been turned over to. I have Leslie right now and she's great. But sometimes, it’s kind of hard to start over with someone else every time. Other than that, the service has been great. I receive facts that we get on the reporting every month. Our cost per click is low and we have the ads that are out and rotating all the time. So, they definitely do things for us that we couldn’t do on our own. It’s a one-stop shop.

    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! If you sign up, be prepared to fight to get out of your contract.

    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.

    Back when we were looking at different options on advertising, DexYP had a lot of different coverage and options that piqued our interest to try them out. 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.

    I was contacted by a local sales agent about a listing, I declined services many times. She called another time and caught me as I was working on marketing. She said she could do a short listing for only $20. I said, "Ok, I can do that." Come to find out, after our business is listed... it’s a monthly charge!! 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. No one has offered to deal with this rep and how she is misrepresenting DexYP or offering to help me.

Told we were renewed for 12 months (which wasn't true) only to find out it could be taken down at any time. Customer service was useless.

    DexYP has been very helpful. The only time we talk with their customer service is when we have to renew or there are changes in their print in order to make sure that we still want our listing as it is and where it is. 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. I would definitely recommend if someone was looking for it.
