Do not waste your money, you'll be better off spending it on local ads imo

Yell.com is Yellow Pages trying to change into something else after living off the fat of the land charging people to advertise in a yellow rag with all their competitors. If you read the financials you would see that they are in desparate straits.

Our average cost per lead (NOT job) 10 years ago with YP was £83 quid. Financial suicide in the cleaning industry.

We all live and learn. You are sooooo lucky there is this forum to save you learning the expensive way!
