How Do I Get Yelp To List My Business?

A hand holding a phone with the Yelp app open, beside the text: Yelp is essentially the modern, online version of the yellow pages. When people are searching for a great local business, Yelp provides nearby recommendations and acts as a local business directory.

On top of that, Yelp is the source 89% of the time for Alexa and 81% for Siri. So here’s how to set-up your Yelp business page to get the most voice search results. Here’s how to set it up:

  1. Go to www.biz.yelp.com/claim, and type in your business name. If you don’t see your business, click “Add to Yelp for free,” and fill out your business details.
  2. Create a free business user account by entering an email address and password. You should use an email address you check regularly to stay on top of what’s happening with your page.
  3. Verify your account by entering your verification code. You’ll get an email or call to the number listed on your page.

Follow the prompts in your account to complete your page. You’ll be notified once your business page is verified which can take a few business days.
