I noticed that outside of restaurants, reviews for other businesses are always dormant In a way that indicates yelp may be in a state of decline compared to how busy it was in years past Tripadvisor seems to be great for restaurants and hotels specifically Google reviews also appears to be actively used What is everyone using and considering relevant these days? Yelp has become a dominant platform for consumers to find and review businesses, but what many people don’t realize is the pressure it puts on business owners to pay for its services
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. We *only* use yelp to *read* reviews We don't post reviews, comments, etc I've read that yelp might block some fake reviewers and such Is my ip address being blocked for some reason
I've already emailed their support a week ago, but so far, there's no response, and i get the feeling i shouldn't hold my breath. Has yelp become very unreliable or is just me I had unexpectedly bad experience with several businesses with stellar ratings and reviews R/bayarea go to bayarea r/bayarea r/bayarea A place for all yelp users—reviewers and business owners The current reviews shown on the default “yelp sort” we have right now are good and are afraid that after we stop using yelp ads, more negative reviews will be pushed up on the page.
I am starting a small virtual business and i'd like to advertise my services on yelp However, i don't have a business phone number Do small businesses without one just use their cell #? Where ryan leaves his 5* reviews I was watching one if his videos and i started wandering what is the website, where he gets reviews and then writes his own I am just not able to find it
