    We are using DexYP's Yellow Pages and we are in two different phonebooks. We also did some online stuff with them. We've talked to their advertising people and they were very thorough in explaining the advertising to us. We've been very satisfied with DexYP and we don't have any reason to go elsewhere.

    We've been with DexYP for a couple of years. We used them for a webpage and advertising. I had my rep come in and she talks to me and shows me what we can do. There's another guy who's in customer support. I do not know what he does exactly, but he lets me know how the website is doing and any changes that we can make. They have all been great.

    Their service has been great as well. We get a lot of the phone calls because of the website that they have for us. Also, I like the way that they follow up. So many people will come and give you a presentation or they will tell you about something and they're just gone. Or they'll set something up for you and you just never hear from them again. DexYP always follows through and they're making sure it's still working. They'll call and see if there are any changes that need to be made. Or if they notice something that they think would be better, they're right on that to let us know, to see if that's something that we want to do. I would definitely tell others that DexYP is a great company and they've worked well with us. They should look into having DexYP to help them out.

    If you need the phonebook and a name on it, call DexYP as they have the phonebooks for listings. I figured they send out yellow and white pages and I wanted my business to be in there. I paid my bill in full a year ago and I had no problems with that. I'm in the phonebook but more people use the computer today to look up for anything. Still, most places know us near the areas and by word of mouth, too.

    We've always had yellow pages and we've had a Yellow Page for a phonebook for as long as I could remember, and I can't remember not having that. We have the basic Yellow Page ad online too and that's included with what we have. We usually get a call from DexYP once a year to update to see if there are any changes in our advertising or the yellow pages ad. It works okay. It's been very valuable and it's the easy way for people to find our church and a simple system for contact numbers. It does search engines either online or printed phone book. We've enjoyed the fact that people that are looking for our church can find the name and basic information. We have our own website and also a Facebook page so that connects together somehow.

    I've been with DexYP for a long time and we've been using them for advertising on the phonebook. Their CS reps contact me every year and they're really good. They're starting to hold prices down better because for a while they were crawling non-stop and we were getting ready to drop it. But they've dropped their prices back down and they're doing good. However, sometimes I wonder if we actually need them because everybody uses the Internet now. Other than that, I was happy with them.

    Three years ago, our business needed to get some better positioning on the web through a better website. We also needed a more attentive company to deal with. DexYP is very easy to deal with and I get a good response when I talk to them. Our salesperson, Susie, was excellent as she explained everything and got us into good positions. We saw an increase in business almost immediately as soon as their work came out. We could see our business coming down then going up every year. They put us into a situation where our business comes up when somebody goes online and types up “boat trailers near me”, which is what we wanted to get.

    We dropped all forms of advertising except for DexYP and their service had been very valuable since our business increased every year. When we started with DexYP, somebody told me that they were not paying anywhere near the amount we were paying and they were getting the same results. But now, DexYP is really expensive compared to other companies which are doing the same thing in the marketplace, so we started looking around.

    DexYP handles all of our digital advertising. During the setup process, we worked with one lady who was in charge of everything digital for us. She came into our community and worked with us and held our hands through the entire thing, which was great. They also do weekly calls with us, as well as a presentation which shows how we're doing, if we're getting calls from certain advertisements. The only bad thing about them is trying to get a hold of them regarding our billing issue, which is them constantly telling us that we were late with our payment. We had multiple accounts with them because of multiple communities and they would put the money towards whatever account was easiest for them even though we would specify which account we wanted it on. It was impossible to get them to clear it up.

    We took over a business that has been advertising with the Yellow Pages and we carried on with whoever was carrying that book until it turned into DexYP. Their customer service team has been helpful and for years, we’ve never had any problems with them. We have the service for people to be able to look up our bike and ski shop, and get a hold of us. At one point in time, we had a webpage through them but it was just a basic presence and it wasn't something that they maintained. People these days probably aren’t using the phonebook as much as they use their smartphones, but there are also some rural areas around here that don’t get internet. So, being in the phonebook helps those people.

    So, Ryan ** suckered me in for another 12 months with YP. I've been trying to cancel for years, but they keep lowering my rate and offering me something new to justify advertising via an obsolete method. I'm willing to keep trying since the price is right and because I liked the idea of trying something new. He said, in addition to the same services I was already being provided he would also throw in some Direct Mail marketing. Great!

    So, come October, I was supposed to begin that process. I had already sent over our logo and artwork... but nothing happened. Come November I called for an update via the YP call center. They said they would have my rep call me back. Never happened. Come December I called for an update via the YP call center. They said they would have my rep call me back. Never happened. Come January I called for an update via the YP call center. They said they would have my rep call me back. Never happened.

    This process is getting quite tedious... because every time the call center takes about 5 minutes to verify my identity/account... and then puts me on hold for 5 to 10 minutes to contact my sales rep... only to come back on the line and say they cannot reach my rep and they will have my rep call me back. Which doesn't happen. I have also tried calling my rep directly... that doesn't work either. FRUSTRATING! So, YP, good job! You'e finally done it... you've driven the nail in your own coffin. Your advertising model is done with my business.

    I signed up with YP.com after listening to their presentation hosted by SCORE. I believed that they would help me grow my new small business. It has been a total waste of money. My sales rep, Crystaldawn **, SOLD me on the leads that would be generated from my relationship with YP.com. What a joke! The calls... the few that I have received have been worthless. I wish that I had read the reviews on FB before signing the contract because I'm being told that there is NO CANCELLATION ALLOWED. Unbelievable! So, YP.com doesn't deliver as promised and small businesses are left to pay a monthly fee for worthless advertising.

    I will advise SCORE not tarnish their reputation by aligning themselves with YP.com again and report my issue to the BBB. I'm locked into this contract until May 2018 and my request for a hardship consideration for cancellation was denied by YP.com. My repeated calls to them have fallen on deaf ears. Crystaldawn, who was always available when she was reeling in me, has not responded to my numerous messages. I can't say this loudly enough to any small fledgling business owner, like myself, STAY AWAY, from YP.com!

We have their phonebook service. They do a good job on advertising and they do a good number of placements but I just don’t know if it’s viable anymore. But they see that and they’re also moving into different media source like for websites and stuff like that. They said. “Well, don’t worry about it.

    I worked with DexYP this fall. We're really busy in the summer because we're in the boating industry. We sat down and I just texted their rep, Abby, what I needed then and she got it done. For the most part, she was able to answer my questions. What she couldn't answer, she sent off and got it taken care of. As far as I know, everything is up to date.

    We do our own in-house marketing stuff. DexYP's services has been great because they've made the changes that needed to be made. We had some name recognition issues, where they had to change everything, but there was a whole bunch of mess across the board and on all the webpages. As far as I know, everything has been switched over. They took care of all the stuff that was mismarked and misnamed on all the service they can get changes made to. We took the basic tier and it took some time to get everything fixed, but there's no way I could have done it myself. Depending on the business and how many name changes they have in there, I would definitely recommend DexYP because of the cost. We got a lot of stuff taken care of for the cost of doing business.

    Let me say that we have been customers of Dex for quite a long time. Our problems began when we signed up for the display brand awareness, the fee was 500.00 a month for a year of which we paid on time. It was not money well spent, when it came time for renewal I told our rep that we wanted it cancelled. He was not happy about it but I did renew our phone book listing which came up for renewal at the same time, the contract I signed had a start date and a end date for the phone book listing but not the online ad so figured it was correct. The following month they billed us for the online listing and my wife paid it thinking it was a phone book ad the next month.

    I realized the mistake and informed them that this ad was cancelled. The only response we got was a past due bill, for 6 months we wrote letters and notes on the bill that the service was not renewed, now a year later we are getting collections companies calling us. The last letter we got from the collections stated they were now charging us a 884.00 collection fee and 400.00 interest and the bill was only 3500.00. I have tried to tell these people that this service was not renewed but to no avail. I still have two other accounts that are up to date for phone book listings. It just drives me crazy that this company will not step up and fix this, I have been using phone book ads for over 30 years now, I am not trying to get something for nothing. I just refuse to pay for something I did not order, please be aware if you cancel a ad with this company write cancel across it and sign your name across it, thanks.

    I have business with DexYP for their Yellow Pages and online, and it was a pleasure working with them. The program that we signed up for didn't work out as much as we hoped for. In the beginning month or two, it was good. We have the results, but then it just went downhill after that. We got a little more presence than last year, but not what we were hoping for. We understand that and perhaps we needed to invest more. But, it needed to be more than what we were investing. Maybe they could have communicated with me better. Their explanation for the numbers going down is that we were open 24/7. Then she explained to me that if five days a week to just business hours were actually in the office, that would make our budget wouldn't run out as quickly.

    When we first started in business, we needed somebody that could do a webpage for us and DexYP seemed like the ideal match. They’re very conscientious and they were calling monthly. They were getting me on click-throughs and I gave them a $750 monthly budget but they were consistently getting me $250 a month more. They weren't maintaining my budget and I couldn’t afford to keep doing that so, I went with another company to handle that. Also, they seem to change hands a lot with the different people that handle the account which I understand happens in any big business.

    Another part of the problem was that I wasn’t able to give them the feedback that they needed to make the webpage into everything that it could be. I’m sure they could have done it and I can’t blame them completely for the webpage not changing and getting bigger and better. If people need to have something done, DexYP is good but they’re going to have to watch the billing procedures.

    The service they are trying to provide is really just a client management (CRM) system and pair it with their own version of Mail Chimp/Constant Contact and calendar system and want to slap a sizable monthly charge to it for the convenience of using one system. I realized I could find all these systems with leading or better technology platforms for a fraction of the price. Though what got me to try their system was the social media aspect which I thought could add value for the monthly cost. But after signing up, it took a few weeks for a relationship manager to contact me to get me set up on the system and it took the company close to 2 months before a single social media post was posted. It took a few calls but they decided to provide us a month free of charge for their delay.

    Not sold on the system and serving 4 months of the 3 month contract, I cancelled the service in writing and verbally with account manager. (Had 3 different account managers in a 4 month period). I noticed shortly after cancelling another renewal charge for a new month. I called to have them confirm my cancellation again, and to reverse the charge.

    They said the cancellation is confirmed but came up with some excuse that it takes some time to process the cancellation. Fast forward to the next month and again another full charge. Now it seems I cannot get a hold of anyone to help process the return. So let's cut them off from the source. Call the bank and cancel the card and report fraudulent charge. Fast forward another month or so and notice for collection shows up in the mail. This is a service where if I don't pay you cut me off. Oh no. This company has very shady business practices.

I talked to the same guy and we were both on the same page. They overran the phonebooks for the company I previously worked for and we went digital towards the end. I'd recommend DexYP

    We got DexYP as a rollover from our Yellow Page advertising. They are my go-to as far as those proactive posts on Facebook. I hope that people looking up for plumber services online and through the cellphones will find our company through listings that DexYP have helped us boost across the web. However, I am still getting robocalls about my Google page and that is frustrating to me. In this day and age of cellphones and looking up things, the DexYP side of things is a little less valuable than what it used to be in the past when everybody and their grandma only use the phone book to find people. Nobody gets the newspaper anymore. Also, I’m too lazy to have to go out and do radio and print. Still, DexYP is worth checking into. I would not limit it to be my only point of advertising for a company but I believe the service has its value.

    DexYP has been effective and they bought the company I used to advertise with. They took over YP too. I'm in one of their phone books on Fort Wayne and in one of their phone book publications indicator, so they’re someone I’ve been using a long time. I’ve been with them for as long as they’ve been in the Fort Wayne market, which is over 10 years. They’ve bought Superpages and they’ve changed to Dex, so they’re still one and the same. But the DexYP service could be better. The district manager of the Fort Wayne area recently followed-up with me and I wanted to change my contact. The gal that came and serviced my account was not doing a very good job for me. She wasn’t returning my calls so I contacted the district manager, got a new rep, and we’ve been good.

    Also, in some of my Facebook advertising, they put stuff that’s out of season. They put one on there a couple weeks ago about mosquitoes and I’m in Indiana where there are no damn mosquitoes around in December. I told them that, so they got the idea that that post is not going to do a thing for me as that’s like trying to sell a snow blower in July. However, overall, DexYP has done well.

    I'm using DexYP for the phone book and all the reporting that's generated as far as calls received and where these calls are coming from, so all my SEO. They are also responsible for my social media presence. I've got a couple of different accounts and I understand that there has been a merger between DexYP and Dex Media but I still seem to have two different people working on my accounts.

    Also, when the North Inland Empire book was delivered to me around the first part of this month, it still has my old information in it. So I'm with a new book that's out for a year now with the wrong information. The individual that was responsible for this phonebook snafu is Larnell. I confirmed with him back in October the correct address and phone number but he went through his records and said that he couldn't understand why we didn't get that new address fixed. He said that he was going to see what he could do as far as offsetting my expense for that particular advertisement in that book. That was 10 days ago and I've not heard anything from him or anyone from DexYP as far as what we're going to do on my bill. Then, my other rep Kevin who I have worked with for many years said that Larnell needed to turn this over to somebody else who was supposed to be reaching out to me but so far no one has. So I'm not entirely pleased.

    After starting a Google Adwords Campaign with DexYP that would proceed for 1 year, the campaign was "paused" in March 2017 due to lack of inquiries or sales. Instead of providing any alternative proposal, DexYP (Dex Media) chose not to communicate with us, but still sent payment notices. In short, DexYP/Dex Media billed for services not rendered. This situation was sent to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) in an attempt to receive the services required in the contract. After 3 communications through the BBB, no mention was made of providing any services, but DexYP/DexMedia continued to bill for services, which they have not provided.

    The conclusion of the BBB and their review was to “determine that the company (DexYP / DexMeda) did not do all that it could have been reasonably expected or been responsible to do to resolve the issue”. It would appear that DexYP / Dex Media has a serious problem with resolving complaints of which 1,648 have been posted with the BBB alone. It would also account for DexYP / Dex Media not being accredited by the BBB and its rating of D+. After sending a letter of complaint to Mr. Joe Walsh, the CEO of DexYP / Dex Media, he simply past it on to a so-called “Executive Care-Team” and did not deem it important to communicate with the customer at all or to express his apologies for the deplorable service of his company.

    My company takes pride and responsibility in providing our clients with the highest quality service we can in return for being paid for these services. It is obvious that DexYP / Dex Media has no moral or ethical responsibility to provide its customers with quality services they are being asked or demanded to pay for. This is a company that should be avoided at all cost. The moral behind this story: no services, no money.

    We brought in a REAL marketing agency who brought to light the already suspected fraudulent activities of DexMedia/DexYP. I've had many phone conferences regarding our accounts with Dex and it was told that the Proxy's (for the SEM & SEO campaigns - the very pricey pay per click ads) were never active when we started hosting on Wix - HOWEVER, we hosted with Wix back in 2013, no one ever notified us or even took the initiative to call us about it, but they would still bill us and we would pay UNKNOWINGLY. With that being said - ** claims to have reached out and sent reports every month - which we have tracks of the emails and that is a lie.

    It was back in 2015 that I started having my suspicions about Dex and spoke to **. ** then came and gave spoke out his ** and somehow or another we signed up for another dreadful year. With much investigation and the help of another marketing team (from people who actually have experience in marketing and GREAT customer service) it was PROVEN that our CLICKS we were paying for were never going to an actual site - I've attached an image of 2 links - I have a TON more.

    Since March I've been stressing and back and forth between DexMedia/DexYP -- I even sent them a portion of their OWN Contact: "NOTICES/HOW TO CONTACT US: All notices, including termination notices to us, must be in writing and mailed by US mail or overnight courier to: DexMedia, 1615 Bluff City Hwy, Briston, TN 37620 or sent by going to www.dexmedia.com/contact-us, and completing the requested information in the "Send us a Message" section. Cancellation notices must include your business name, telephone number and address. for questions about this agreement or your advertising, please call Client Care at 844-DEXMEDIA (339-6334)."

I will definitely be contacting the Atty. Gen. of my state. Per a telephone conversation with Dex, they seem to be of the attitude that it is just tough luck. If I have to continue paying for another year's advertising with Dex, you can believe I will do everything in my power to let people know what they are in for. I guess the old adage of buyer beware is appropriate here.

    I have paid for advertising with this company for the past 13 years, only to find out that I've been paying money to a company that refuses to return calls, is constantly passing the calls to others after you go through what is wrong for the umpteenth time, saying another department needs to call back, are in "meetings" or "out that day" as excuses. They published an incorrect ad and say that they are providing "digital services" that is nowhere to be found and state that I cannot get out of a contract which they aren't providing services for that they promised. I have been trying to resolve the issues for three months, only to get passed around in circles. In the meantime, I'm getting weekly past due notices with interest, for services not provided. This company needs to be investigated! Do not sign anything or commit to anything over the phone!

    I'm on business committee of a small church. We placed a listing in the YP years ago. Church membership has decreased to less than 10 attending most Sundays. Phone service and other non-essential expenses were discontinued. We have tried for three years to cancel YP. Each year we are told we have to pay "this year", but the ad will be cancelled "next year". This is our third year and we are still trying to cancel. We have written correspondence requesting service be canceled, called numerous times and most recently a ticket opened with YP. We are still getting invoices. We have paid the account the past two years with confirmation we would not receive an invoice again.

    After using a great directory service i Local Guru when I changed my address done that day I switched to YP for about the same price. I would get advertising to first thing typos I fixed twice then they had to fix after a couple of months finally got fixed then I changed my address. At least 10 phone calls. After every call I would get an email case closed then by email and every time another email case closed. It wasn't fixed. Only after I stopped auto pay did they actually fixed. Now all the while my digital presence is being slammed by YP. They're having negative effects on my SEO efforts that was over 6 months into my ad with them. Now my summer is over. My website goes to first page like it should have from first complaints to many reps. Nobody takes the customer service as long as you're in auto pay. I offered to pay for 6 months. They screwed it up for 8 months. All they want is your money.

    Results don't matter between deceptive postcards and all the runaround with how they don't deliver on what they advertise. 7 18 17 is when they finally fixed my address. Once errors with Google went into effect website went right to first page. It's all verifiable yet they insist I pay for 6 months. They screwed up. A good company would accept their mistakes and agree with customer not YP. First put my marketing efforts down, hamper them as much as you could. I begged you to release my dashboard. You weren't getting it done. You killed my summer profits down over 50%. You would fix or release. Now we're at a standstill not paying a non performing and detrimental company to my company. This is a small company. I spend countless hours trying to get this cleared up not asking for time back that I spent that if dashboard worked would have fixed right away so I'm going to spend my time telling the truth about YP Dex Media and thrive.

    Having DexYP’s services is very valuable to my company. They monitor my website and I get a lot of compliments about it. People like it and say it’s easy to get around and look at it. DexYP reached out to me many years ago. They were interested if I wanted to put a phone book ad at the time, and I was. Because I was first-time customer, they gave me a good deal. And then, I renewed the service and I had to go bigger every year. When they added services on the internet, everything started to become a package deal type of thing. Their customer service is also great. I’ve had the same contact person every year which has been awesome, unlike before where I got a different person yearly.

    However, when DexYP started to do online payments, it was tricky for me. When I put in the information before, the system didn’t accept it. There’s a little green triangle up on the right-hand corner which didn’t say what it was. I told my rep about this because this kept on happening and the system kept on asking for a four-number code. My rep had the research team and they said, “We don’t know what you’re talking about.” So, I showed her and she said, “I don’t know what that’s for.” No one knew what it’s for until I pushed that green triangle accidentally and then it turned upside down and everything went through. It was all good and I didn’t need the four-digit code. It took a long time for it to be figured out. If I didn’t hit it by accident, I would’ve probably still been pulling my hair out thinking, “How am I going to make this payment?” Still, I have been recommending DexYP.

    I stupidly decided to try DexYP Media's services hoping to drive more traffic to my website. When I spoke with Clint, the Business Automation Specialist, he assured me that the only subscription I would be subscribing to was a month to month contract. I made it perfectly clear that I did not want to be involved with anything that wasn't month to month. Clint said, "You could try it for a month or even 3 months and if you didn't like it, you could cancel." I thought, okay, I'll do it. He put me on the phone with a verifier and at NO time did I agree to a 1-year subscription, nor did they tell me anything about cancelling within 21 days. Well, in less than 30 days of my first month, I noticed that my bank account had been debited for the month to month fee of $59.00. So I called Dex Media to complain about them taking money from my bank account 4 days prior to my first 30 days expiring.

    I complained because today (10.5.17), my 92-year-old parent's assisted living rent was due and this deduction left me short. By my calculations, Oct 9, 2017, is when my account should have been debited, provided I wanted to keep the service. To my surprise, I was told the same thing many of you here were told, that I had committed to a 1-year subscription and that I had 21 days to cancel, instead of 30 days. When I asked for my money back and said that I want to cancel my subscription, I was told, the internal credit card team would be the ones to make the decision to refund my money and cancel my supposed 1-year subscription.

    If anyone wants to join in my submitting a request for the California Attorney General to investigate these practices by Dex Media, please let me know. I believe the phone verification was altered, I would NEVER have committed to a 1-year subscription. There's something not right about this company and I intend to get to the bottom of it!

    DexYP formally known as Dex Media stakes many claims to help companies with their online presence. Good luck if you enter into a contractual agreement with this company, you will find it extremely difficult to get out of it, worse yet the services they provide you can not even be quantified as services. They claim to be a Google partner, and offer you a very expensive platinum advertising package, but will not deliver results. When we finally realized what was happening with our Dex SEM campaign that cost us over $1500/month, we filed a complaint with them asking for termination of our contract. After a knock down drag out they finally conceded and sent us a formal cancellation letter in the mail. The cancellation notice stated our SEM contract was cancelled as of 9/16/16 and nothing more was due.

    We paid the last bill which cleared on 10/13/17. We never ceased receiving invoices, even though there were no services being rendered and Dex has sent us to collections 3 times since, I received the 3rd call today. I was also visited by 2 salespeople who tried to sell me a new contract and told that Google is very expensive to advertise on. Every time I tell the debt collectors the whole story and that we will not be paying. If you have a contract with Dex, do your research and make sure they are delivering on their promises.

    If you don't have a contract with Dex or another SEM company, stay away! Try doing your own SEM through Google AdWords, it is easy. You can control your budget and territory, and you will definitely receive results, something you will not receive from DexYP. I decided to take matters into my own hands because I was tired of throwing money away on SEM campaigns that were not delivering results for our small company. Money is precious and these so called advertising companies are feeding on customers who don't educate themselves.

    I saw this business when I was trying to start up my business. I decided after receiving a few phone calls that I would see what this business has to offer. After seeing what all they would do for me for $199.00/month I thought sure this will be good! I was under the impression that I could cancel my website whenever I need to if I had a change of plans or something. So I decide to move forward with paying the $199 and getting set up. After spending the next few weeks in contact with the website manager I got really excited because I felt like he was doing all the right things to make my business really get up and running with advertisement. Just a few weeks later I ended up getting a new job. This job was great and was perfect for gaining experience in the field where I received my degree. The only problem was I just didn't get paid a lot of money.

    No problem though. I thought "that's ok I'll just cancel my website since I don't need it anymore and save myself $199/month" so I contact my account people. They respond with "you're on a 12 month contract" so I talk to the person who set me up and told her I never agreed to a 12 month contract and I simply cannot afford it due to my new job. She was understanding and said she would have her supervisor contact me. Well a day later $199 was taken out of my account. A week later I STILL had not received a phone call from her supervisor. So I email them on a Friday letting them know that it has been a week without contact. They never responded. So I emailed again today and they send me their supervisor's contact information. The supervisor says "you'll have to get in contact with this person" so I get in contact with them and tell them I'm out of business and I want a refund.

    Well he said the only way I could do that was by discontinuing the phone line associated with the business. Well that's a problem because the phone line is my personal cell number. So then he goes to say I'm in the 12 month contract and that's all he can do. So I had him play the recording of my phone conversation where "I agreed to a 12 month contract". Never once did the recording prove that I agreed to this contract. So now he's saying I gotta get back in contact with the person I originally went to to get my account taken care of. This is a rip off of a company and I am EXTREMELY disappointed and frustrated with them. My next step is to just close my bank account so they can't steal my money.

    Have had nothing but nightmares with this company since day one. I took over a business from my father and was contacted by Dex to continue running phone ads and online information. I explain to them that we had moved, have a different address, changed phone number, info on # of years in business and to change person of contact. They assured me this would all take place. I tried to reach my customer contact for a few months and was unable to due to the fact she was out on family leave. I finally get a call from another person stating that she got my voice messages off of the other person's phone that was out and understood they needed to make the correct changes. Still assured me again this would be taken care of.

    A month later I get a letter stating what the ad was going to be and of course all the information was incorrect still. I sent back the noticed within the 10 days required and they received it. They acknowledged on time but yet still failed to correct the digital and phonebook ads. They still want to charge me for eight months of these ads being incorrect. They then told me they would get it correct by this time. We were closed for the season so the advertisement was useless. Then they called the next year wanting to renew it and I explain to them I probably wasn't going to advertise with them any longer she asked me to review some information and she would give me a discount.

    She wanted me to do a verbal agreement of contract over the phone which I refused so she said she would mail me a copy for me to review if I would consider advertising with them further. I did not send in the contract and told them I no longer wanted to advertise with them. Now it has been another few months. They are still sending me bills saying I now have to pay for another year because I didn't cancel the previous contract in writing with them... As of July this year they still had the phonebook information incorrect after 1 year and a couple months. Every time you call in to try to talk to someone they hand you off to a senior account executive who then tries to belittle you and speak over you the entire time saying if you would just shut up and listen to them we would be able to get through this but their answer every time is, "Sorry you still have to pay it." Horrible customer service. Horrible company. Horrible follow through.

    I will be sure to tell everyone I know to never use this company. Very disappointed for something you would think would be customer-oriented as we are the ones that pay the bill to keep you in business you would think you would want 100% satisfaction guaranteed. Not the case at all. I couldn't personally charge a customer if I didn't do the job correct the first time. I wouldn't expect them to pay anything and I sure wouldn't try to trap them into a continuous contract after they told me they didn't want to advertise with me anymore...

But the price was prorated because of previously purchase packages. Getting the site would have made the package complete. All in all the prorated price was $125.00 but $299.99 was taken from my account.

This is really saying something because there are similar companies on the BBB site that have stats like 68 complaints, 11% positive reviews, 89% negative reviews and still have an A+ rating (Yext, Inc.) Here's another one: Yelp.com. With a government injunction against them for endangering children's information, which is posted on the BBB site, and with 4 positive reviews, 10 neutral reviews and 329 negative reviews (96%), not to mention over 1400 complaints, they still maintain a B+ rating. So then, how bad is DexYP if their accreditation is revoked by the same watchdog agency?

    Now the update: After posting a complaint on this site, I was FINALLY contacted by DexYP and my money has been refunded after two months of fighting for it. I believe this is thanks to the Consumer Affairs website. I was getting nowhere with my contacts at DexYP. A comment was made by one contact at DexYP that makes me think the issue lies with their internal commission structure - that no one in the sales channel will give up a customer no matter what - at least until some report is out - whatever that means.

    Anyway, even though my issue is now resolved, I would still recommend you stay clear of DexYP, and similar services like Yext, Yelp, etc. They all misrepresent their effectiveness in order to gain a sale. Also, they only can help with a small piece of the marketing. If you just want to manage what they claim to help with, hire a bright high school kid who needs a job. They can be trained in minutes and do the work for much less money/ Plus, you're helping your community.

    My personal solution to our marketing needs was to hire a reputable marketing/advertising firm that handles everything Dex, Yext, Yelp, Hubspot and similar companies do for the same price as just ONE of these services. They can even handle website, print and mail if I need it. I can't recommend them yet, I just started with them, but I think this is a much better alternative than one of these self-promoting groups that highly inflate their own value. Finally, the best news is that when I get calls from marketing salespeople I tell them that I have hired a marketing agent who makes all the marketing suggestions. They leave me alone FAST.

    We’ve been working with DexYP for a while and their customer service has been outstanding but we had one representative that was not as good as the others. She wasn’t effective in scheduling and didn’t have a good idea of the business. She has general-apply business principles across different areas rather than being specifically made into our business. She was bringing up data and different things which didn’t apply even if it’s an example. It was way off from how we practice medicine and it was reiterated. Told her that I skipped so many emails a day and if she wants me to take action on something, she needs to give me a call so I can make sure to find it and I’ll get back right away. The communication wasn’t there because most of the representatives are very accommodating when I get them faster answers so they can work on it. They immediately took action and switched us to another representative who was effective.

    We have a website, banner ads, SEO, SEM and an email through DexYP. The SEM and SEO products are very interesting to deal with. The people we had doing SEM had been helpful. The SEO part is very challenging for our work environment and they’ve stayed on top of things. The people that worked with us have been outstanding and I’m happy with their product and service.

We found the internet optimization so that they could help us gain a good spot on the internet listing.

    Dex maintained our website and some marketing for several years. They've always been a provider and now and we're converting over to YP. We're also switching all of our search engine marketing over to Dex from another vendor. Most of our marketing has been through Hibu and we're getting rid of Hibu to go with DexYP all the way. The new contract is going to be different than what we used before.

    I've used their service briefly and their customer service has been good. They’ve been very helpful, knowledgeable and valuable in keeping the website established and re-establishing a new one. But they crashed our gallery when they upgraded our website from an older text website to a newer one. It was originally transferred and when they deleted the old one out of the system, we lost the gallery all the way around and we haven't gotten it rebuilt yet. They just linked the gallery and didn't copy it. But most of the time, DexYP has been effective and easy to work with.

    I requested an account cancellation in November 2016 to switch to another source for web service. Thought everything was completed then I received a bill in March. Contacted a source to correct the error and received another bill in May. After contacting another agent, (now granted, I could never get the same contact more than once after I emailed them) I get a collections email from a third party to pay a bill in excess of $500.

    I find out today that they have an advertising contract that continued to bill for 12 months when there is no website to advertise on. My favorite part is 'Unfortunately you still have to pay the balance'? Who does that? Why on Earth would I need to advertise if I don't have a website with your company and why would you not disclose this back in 2016 or any of the other times I inquired about this mystery bill? Absolutely the worst company ever and I regret the day I opened my account with this service!

    I made the mistake of donating my hard earned money to DexYP around 1 month ago. After receiving several calls from a sales person harassing me while at work, I finally gave one of these parasite salesman a chance. Of course he made every lie that spilled out of his mouth sound good. I made a huge mistake listening to him, because I threw away $160 off my money, with nothing to show. That's right, absolutely zero. Dex took my money with all of their promises, and did nothing. It was admitted by several of their employees, that they "dropped the ball."

    Now that I want nothing to do with this company, they refuse to give my money back and say I'm locked in for a year, even though I clearly told the sales person I didn't want a commitment when signing up. Basically what happened here is I paid for a job to be done. Dex did not do what their salesperson promised, at all. Nothing. When I caught on to it, they refuse to refund me for doing nothing. In my opinion and experience, Dex media is a company taking donations to pay their employees to do nothing. That's exactly nothing. Do not trust Dex. Keep your money, unless you want to support Dex's scamming thieving way of doing business. This company is fraudulent, and will do what they can to screw you out of your money.

But I reached out to them recently because I need to cancel my contract. My contract should expire on October 1 and the second one should expire in November. It started out great but as time has changed, I realized this is not a good match because of the growth of my company and what the community wants.

    I've been with the company for a very long time. I first started off with Verizon and then it went to SuperMedia. And then it became Dex Media. Before then, I had all these other reps and I was paying a thousand some dollars a month and they were robbing me blind with unnecessary things. Then Tom came on and he saved me. He started the website and got me into that. Then Scott took over his territory and the whole experience with him was top of the line. But then, they changed his area and they expected us to do everything over the phone and I can't do that. I would need to work with somebody who'll explain. I was given somebody else and that's when it went downhill again.

    For a while there, DexYP made mistakes. They put the wrong times and they said that we were closed seven days a week. I lost business because of it and they only reimbursed me for a couple of months when that had been like that for longer. I wasn't really happy with that and it was a horrible experience, and then I was notified that the rep quit. I specifically asked for Scott again and when they reassigned him to me, everything went really good. He's a very detailed person and he made me feel very comfortable. I felt like everything was going in the right direction and they specifically showed me how my questions and the errors were all corrected.

    Scott and I connected with Taylor and Stacey and it has been awesome working with the three of them. I'm one guy doing everything and I work so much that I don't have time to be on top of everything. I would write down the questions that I need to ask so I don't forget, then I would give them the questions and they would have their answers. They helped me out a lot. Plus, I can always reach out to Stacey or Scott and they return my calls immediately. Once I had emailed Stacey to say I don't check my email all the time and to ask if she could just give me a call, and I got my call within that day. I would definitely recommend them, especially to somebody who works a lot and doesn't have time to do Facebook. One of their team members can handle all of it and that really takes a load off of you. At the same time, you know it's being done right so that's a really good feeling.

They advertise on the internet for me and they do the hard page directory advertising on the yellow pages. But they have a hard time reaching out to the advertisers. DexYP is also the kind of company that makes the contact in the beginning then disappear. They do not have a follow-up. And the only time I see them again is at renewal time.

    As executor of my sister's estate who used Dex Media I have tried multiple times to close her account and still have been unsuccessful. I have now been transferred to the disputes department and have been sent termination of business materials to fill out and also to provide documentation in order to close. This in itself is not a problem, I am fine with filling out forms but what they require borders on the extreme and makes it impossible to close in a timely fashion, while they simply continue to bill on a monthly basis. I must show proof that all phone lines (home, business, cell, etc) and URL's have been discontinued which has taken 5 months just for her office phone because it has taken that long to liquidate her business, but the required proof of final statement will take another month after the disconnect for the statement to arrive. And this is just her office phone.

    Then the Dex forms require a notary and a sworn statement that one has not perjured themselves? Requirements for certificates of dissolution? As executor, I have managed and closed all of her accounts save Dex. It's informative that they don't even have an Estate department like every other organization I have dealt with. My only option is disputes? I personally will never use Dex media for my own advertising. I will write back with a status update on how long, if at all, it took to simply close her account because she passed away last February and Dex wants to milk her estate for all it can.

We can’t touch that and they’re not even local people. They ended up sending me orders because they don’t have a flower shop.

    We are a seasonal business, so we go south for the winter months, November through March, and come back to the midwest a few days each month to pay bills, etc. We use Dex for 3 different areas; resulting in 3 different billings. In May of 2017, we received a past due letter stating we were 6 months delinquent on one of our bills (I'll call this #1 for future reference). I called and inquired and was told one of our billings were returned to them, so they thought our address had changed. (They were still sending the other two billings)

    I spoke with Wayne on 5/22/17, and told him we would like to cancel all the contracts (which he said we had to pay them until the end of the contract) and so I asked him the dates for each contract that we had to cancel by. #1 before 1/29/18, #2 before 1/11/18 and #3 before 9/27/17. He also said he would make sure the #1 billing would come to our original address like it used to.

    On 6/26/17 I received 2 Dex Media bills, and once again did not get #1 bill. I called (6/26/17) and spoke with Norman, who said we were past due on bill #1 again. I told him we did not receive a bill and he said it was changed to electronic. I asked him how it was sent, (email, website, etc) and he said via email. I asked him to what email address, and he said he was unable to verify the email address. (How did they send it by email if they didn't have our email on file?) I asked him what our totals were to pay these off through the end of our contracts, and cancel the service, and he said #1 was June 2018, #2 was April 2018 and #3 was Oct 2017. SO THE DATES FOR #1 and #2 had been extended in just one month's time!!!!!!

    ALSO, he said billing #3 had a digital contract on it that had been okayed in December (when we were in Florida) that was from May 2017 to May 2018. I asked Norman for a voice recording showing where we had approved it (because we didn't, we weren't even in the state), and he sent me to the resolution department, and they could not find the voice recording. I told Norman to cancel ALL contracts - case # **. Also I was told our account manager Brett ** would call and it's been two days with no call. I was told the resolution dept "Nikki" would open a case # ** to investigate all of our issues.

    Updated on 07/27/2017: They said they had followed up. Yes, they called, but said they'd call me back after they had checked into my problem and didn't. I called them and no response, until I called the supervisor. My problem is still "being looked into" and NOT resolved.

    We've had a good experience with Dex Media because of the communication back and forth. Anytime we have any kind of issue or problem, we'd call and they're right there for us. We've had nothing but positive experiences with them. Since signing up, we get more younger patients.

    Dex Media is and had taken my money with nothing to show for it. No website. No nothing. No views on my FB page. No nothing. I run my business alone. With no help. When I talk to Paul **, man I thought all my worries was gone. Little did I know, they had just started. I was so happy for days and weeks thinking I found a company that really cared. Me and Paul ** stayed on the phone for four hours the first time we talked. He told me everything that Dex Media could and would do for me. It's been 3 mouths and I've seen nothing by hundreds on money come out my account. It hurts. I feel that I have been robbed. It really sucks because I really got my hopes up. And I have nothing now.

    Because of Dex Media my business has gone under. Now they taking my personal money for my family. Someone please help. These are facts!!! I feel so dumb for dealing with them. I ready thought they cared. Me and Paul talked a lot the first few weeks. I really put trust in the guy. Told him I would love to meet him and shake his hand. He really sold me on Dex Media. I still find it hard to be believe. They have no idea the trouble and problems they have caused. I'm praying they do the right thing and refund the money because they took everything extra I saved and I still have nothing to show. This is more than a review. This is my life, my business and the hell Dex Media is now putting me through. I just want it to end. Please.

    When you’re in a small town, it’s always good to advertise in the phonebook. Dex Media was the one Verizon used for our phonebook and they've been very good. The customer service at Dex has been really helpful about making changes or making sure that we know what our advertising is for the yellow pages and if we need anything changed for the white pages. They also keep us updated a couple of times a year. They call us in the spring to make sure it’s ready before the phonebook comes, which is usually in October. They call and check if we’re happy with the way the bold type is, if we need to add more advertising or if we want to make more listings. They go through it all with us and they always send a copy of what our bill would be. Their pricing is reasonable and we pay every month. Dex Media did a good job.
