Why Yelp ?

Yelp provides you with a free suite of tools to showcase your business and connect you to the Yelp community.

Manage your Yelp Business Page

An average of 142 million users visit Yelp every month. By claiming your Yelp Business Page, you’ll be able to upload photos, add a link to your website and ensure that your hours, phone number, and other important information are always up to date.

Connect with your customers

A Yelp business user account allows you to connect with customers, including those who have written reviews for your business. Join the conversation with your customers by using the two free response tools available in Yelp for Business Owners. You can respond via a direct message, or post a public comment for all future consumers to see.

Grow your business

Millions of people make purchasing decisions on Yelp every month. Once you claim your free Yelp Business Page, starting Yelp Ads is a great way to reach new customers. In fact, in a recent BCG study, business owners that advertised with Yelp saw an average of $23,000 in annual revenues from Yelp, $15,000 more than business owners who only claimed their free Yelp Business Page.

Step-1  Find your Business

Visit the homepage of Yelp. Scroll down and Visit Yelp For Business Owners to find and claim your business. Enter the Business name and Area to search for your business.

Step-2  Claim your Business on Yelp

After you search your business from the results, click on “Claim this Business”, if your listing has not been claimed. If you want to edit the information, click on “Already Claimed” and log into Yelp to make changes to your listing.

To complete the process, Yelp will give you a call at the specified phone number and you will have to enter the code displayed on your screen.

Now, if your business information ever needs updated on Yelp or you need to reply to reviews, you’ll be able to do it.
