Use Yelp to Help your Business
24/08/2012
The Yelp website can be of great help to local businesses, such as restaurants or shops, who want to attract more relevant customers and generate social reviews about their services.
It is a popular site for finding information on local businesses. It has been around since 2004 and has over 60 million registered users, so it is really worth getting listed on if you own a business.
Restaurants are particularly popular listings on Yelp, but it is also used to review a whole variety of other local businesses. Sometimes businesses are automatically listed on Yelp but it is a good idea to claim ownership of your business before someone adds inaccurate information.
Once you have created a business account on here you can do things to increase your profile and encourage new visitors. These include adding quality photos and linking to your website.
You can also look at other local businesses on Yelp to discover what people have written about them and recognise what local people value highly. Then you can use this knowledge to improve your own business and make it more popular in your local area.
So social networking isn’t just about being on Twitter and Facebook. Review sites like Yelp can really help to boost businesses too.
