So in this video, I just briefly wanted to talk about Yelp. Imagine if you have a business already, you've definitely heard of Yelp, because it is one of the most popular websites where people go to find local business, you know, read reviews, and just kind of overall, it's one of the biggest sites out there for sort of reputation with when it comes to business. Some people sort of love it, some people seem to hate it. I know, there's a lot of things that happen with reviews, you know, in some cases, you may find your customers may leave your review, and you won't see it show up. But Yelp is probably one of the biggest places that actually Google will look at your business. It's one of the, what I would consider one of the top 10 places that Google will actually, you know, put some relevance into your business.
So I highly recommend making sure you do have an account on Yelp. Once you go over to Yelp comm you can just do create your free account. I'm not going to walk you through, you know if I if I click on this, I'll just show you briefly here. You know, you can go in and sign up. But really, it's gonna be pretty simple. explanatory, you fill out your business information.
And you're going to want to follow the same practices, make sure you put up a lot of photos and things, I would maybe at least minimum, put up five. And the same goes for your Google page, make sure you're putting up at least five images. And if not go for 10 or 15, if you have them, and, you know, basically get yourself set up, I don't necessarily recommend spending a lot of money on Yelp to do their at you know, advertising with them. Unless you really find that that's something you'd like to invest in. I don't think it's necessarily going to be something you'll need. But in terms of getting set up, you definitely want to make sure you have a Yelp profile.
And you know, once you've done that, you can basically send some people that are to leave some reviews. A good thing is that Google will actually pick up you know, if I go to, I can't think of an example page off the top of my head. But basically, if you go into Google, they actually will use some reviews from other sites to kind of calculate in some of their rankings and They will help boost you up within local map pack listings that you're going to find when people search for you on Google. So very, very important. Make sure you get set up with Yelp
