There are 15 extremely positive reviews of my work and 1 crank, but Yelp hid 12 of those positive reviews, leaving only 3 positive reviews and one crank. The star rating is based on the number of "unfiltered" ratings, thus I get 4 stars instead of 5 AND THAT IS ENOUGH TO DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM HIRING ME. How many times do I have to state this? Are you dense? I'm resolving this two ways: (1) I have gone to one of those ratings services that advertises a lot on the radio and I've uploaded 541 names and contact info of previous customers. They've matched 15 of them with their members and are interviewing them to get ratings. I'm NOT AFRAID to let them talk to my past clients because I have universally GREAT rapport with my current and past clients. (2) I'm starting a parallel identity with a different name, different website, different contact info, and a thrust to a specific market niche that doesn't depend on Yelp reviews. It's a major pain because it means I'll have to spend about $15-20,000 organizing the separate business and launching the new advertising campaign. But I have no choice because Yelp has screwed me over.
