Is Yell worth it in 2026? The cost and the arithmetic

Yell costs: Packages from £299 a month (Amplify) and from £699 a month (Accelerate); local SEO and managed social from £300 a month. (as reported by business.yell.com, November 2026). Whether it is worth it depends on what one job leaves you after costs and how many leads it takes to win one.

The arithmetic
  • At £299 a month, you need work from Yell that leaves at least £299 after costs every month, whether or not enquiries come.
  • How Yell charges: A monthly marketing package (website, listings management, ads and an AI receptionist), not a fee per lead. Sold as a year of marketing with a lead guarantee: if Yell does not deliver the agreed number of leads it credits back the difference.
  • Who else gets the enquiry: Enquiries come to you directly from your own listing, website and ads; your Yell.com listing sits beside other local firms.
