Importance of Yelp reviews for local business

by The 100 Companies

Since 2004, the San Francisco-based Yelp has been publishing crowd-sourced reviews for local businesses – from restaurants and bars to hairstylists and mechanics.

The name, a hybrid term at the intersection of “help” and “yellow pages,” makes it easy to connect with new customers.

With a database of 20 million business locations and more than 80 million monthly visitors, leaving a positive review on Yelp can be priceless when it comes to:

Kick-starting a burgeoning business platform.

Attracting potential customers.

Showcasing the best a community has to offer.

Turning searchers into visitors.

Spread the word about your favorite local spots. Stat.
