Why did we create yokl’d?
We understand there are many sources to obtain local business information, but none of the existing solutions meet the needs in the marketplace:
- The Yellow Pages only provides alphabetical lists or listings differentiated by the size of an advertisement. Therefore, the only way for a user to make a
distinction is through the amount of money spent by a particular company. This does not assist in discriminating good experiences from bad.
- Professional newspapers and magazine critics have unique tastes and biases that sometimes significantly differ from a customer’s point of view.
- Search engine results simply provide electronic Yellow Pages or paid placement ads. Again, this information doesn’t help separate the great from the mediocre.
- Local search sites like CitySearch and Yelp! provide user generated content for local businesses using a controversial five-star rating system. Users debate the
use of the five-star rating because people within the general population have very different tastes. This ranking system provides no way to tell if a group of people
ranking a business shares the same tastes as a specific user.
In short, Yokl’d provides a better solution for the discriminating consumer, business traveler, or weekend connoisseur.
