We have received numerous positive customer testimonials over the years and more continue to pour in every day. Each success story is unique, but they all have one thing in common- these small businesses have experienced extraordinary results as a result of using Yodle for online marketing. Watch the compilation video below where a number of our customers share their experiences with Yodle. Enjoy, and keep an eye out for more Yodle reviews from our customers that will be coming soon.

I’ve been working at Yodle’s headquarters in New York as a Lead Recruiter over the past three and a half years, and I have seen our company grow from 280 people to over 1,000 employees. As focused as we are on producing results for our over 30,000 customers, we keep the work environment fun and relaxed (i.e. giant stuffed gorillas and bananas hanging from the ceiling!). As we grow, I’m proud that we are still able to maintain our unique culture and I am honored that we have been ranked tenth on the list of the Best Places to work for in New York this year.

We were at the awardees dinner in Albany this past Tuesday, which had the largest attendance in the program’s history with over 200 attendees from 50 companies representing a number of industries including Technology, Financial Services, Healthcare and Advertising. It was a fun event with tons of food and entertainment.

Earlier today Yodle announced that Eric Raab has joined the company as its first Chief Information Officer. We are thrilled to welcome Eric to Yodle, and were equally delighted to have recently had the opportunity to meet with the 25 year tech veteran. In this revealing Q&A, Eric shares why he joined Yodle, his passion for small businesses, and where he’d most like to visit when he’s not figuring out the next big IT solution at Yodle.

Yodle: Why did you decide to join Yodle?

Eric: There are many things that excited me about Yodle. Local online marketing is a great industry and Yodle is at the forefront of providing solutions to the country’s small businesses. However, what really tipped the scale for me were the people. I met with different people each of the many times I came to the office for interviews and had such a positive experience with everyone. I looked forward to every visit because I knew that I would have intelligent and inspiring conversations. Business is ultimately about its people and that’s where Yodle is clearly very strong.

Yodle: What are your key goals at Yodle?

Eric: Perhaps most important, I want Yodle to continue to be a great place for engineers to work as we further build out our team. The leaders in our company have been doing a fantastic job. Just from the short period of time that I’ve been here, I can see that our technology staff are excited and engaged. The challenge is to sustain that dynamic as we continue to grow – we need to keep doing cutting edge work better and differently than anyone else in the industry. My other key goals are to prepare technology that will further scale our business in an efficient and reliable way, and to deliver IT solutions that provide even greater value to our customers.

Our April customer of the month is Robert Groff, owner of Groff Landscape Design. Robert’s Virginia-based company specializes in high end landscape design for outdoor entertainment spaces.

What Robert loves most about his job is having full creative direction on projects from beginning to end. However, he soon found that marketing his business was becoming an increasingly big focus. When he first got Groff Landscape Design off the ground, Robert tried some marketing strategies that simply weren’t getting him any leads or were taking up too much of his time. Realizing he needed a partner to manage his marketing for him, he reached out to Yodle.
