Yelp’s advertising model is controversial, to say the least. If business owners don’t fork over money for ads, Yelp allegedly hides positive reviews and showcases negative ones, essentially holding business reputations hostage. This practice is incredibly unfair and detrimental to both business owners and workers.
It's entirely because apple maps still relies on Yelp alone to populate it's map results with data. If apple dropped them and actually did their own in house system Yelp would fold overnight. Try to make your Yelp exposure only a basic profile with only 1 image and fill in the company details including website link.
Yelp died once they decided to force users to download the app to view reviews. Been dead and thankfully so. It was by far the worst review platform and skewed towards negative. Google Reviews is a heck of a lot more accurate. Nothing. Because the general public is not qualified to review restaurants.
r/Yelp. Just be aware that yelp is not impartial and removes real reviews from businesses, if their business owner requests it. A local sushi place in Long Island has a massive roach infestation. They have an alert system in place for when the health department comes (they have been cited many times); they accidentally uploaded their menu to ...
How is Yelp still in business. It blows my mind. My family business is a very large, reputable and well known construction company by pretty much everyone that lives in our city. Excellent word to mouth, over 35k customers, have won multiple small business of the year awards.. We have 530 google reviews at a 4.6 rating.
Yes, it's maybe an unpopular opinion but I trust much more the combination "google reviews + opentable" than yelp or tripadvisor, what I have found is that google reviews and opentable are more or less consistent with each other, if a place gets 4.7 on google it will probably be a 4.5 in opentable.
Apple maps doesn't show yelp reviews anymore so there's little chance that anyone is seeing yelp reviews. Google Maps has taken over the space for reviews. Anyone using Yelp for finding businesses is going to find a lot of old stale incorrect information. Personally I don't care what Yelp reviewers say about my business good or bad.
Overall: I recently had a very negative experience as a new Business Owner on Yelp. My experience (particularly in relation to the advertising program that was pushed upon me via multiple phone calls after initially creating my business profile) felt like a scam, and Yelp’s subsequent lack of communication makes me feel like I was ‘scammed’.
Scammers. Rant. General. Let me tell you, dealing with Yelp as a small business is an absolute nightmare. It's like entering a den of fraudulence and incompetence. They claim to be this platform that helps businesses grow, but in reality, all they care about is their bottom line. Their employees are a bunch of clueless salespeople who have no ...
Yelp is fucking over my business. I'm not sure if this will put me at risk for getting my account deleted, but at this point I don't really care anymore. My husband and I started a moving company about 6 months ago. We've been trying various avenues of advertisement, and Yelp has been pretty fruitful. We of course do our best to make all of our ...
