Why Yelp Exists

What is Yelp?
What makes Yelp different?
Yelp isn’t a bulletin board or drive-by review site
Since Day 1, our focus has always been on creating a community of Yelp Users
Quality Control: Why Some Reviews Come Down
All businesses are equal in this regard.(Advertisers & non-advertisers treated equally; filtered reviews
viewable.)
Keeping Our Content Useful For Consumers
“Yelp runs its reviews through an anti-fraud filter, with impressive results; every fake review the Texan bought was flagged by Yelp’s algorithms, though his fraudulent reviews remain up on the seven other sites.”
Yelp by the Numbers

Consumers on Yelp are Affluent, Educated Adults
(Writer Data Source: Yelp Signups; Reader Data Source: Quantcast.com, November 2011)
• 53% of Yelp Users are 35+
• 64% of Yelp Consumers make 100K or more/year

The Right Way To Do It
The Right Way To Do It
80% of Yelp Reviews are Three Stars or Higher
Negative reviews play an important role too• A variety of experiences are consistent with real life
• You can’t please 100% of your customers 100% of the time
Distribution of All Reviews
What’s the Secret to a Strong Reputation on Yelp?
If a yelper mentions “good” customer service in a review, they are over 5 times as likely to give a 5 star review rather than a
1 star.
Source: Based on Yelp reviews as of April 2012, excluding reviews that were filtered or removed.
Similarly, nearly 70% of “bad” customer service experiences are given a 1 star review and less than 5% are given 5 a star
review.

Tip: Let People Know You’re on Yelp, but
Don’t Ask For Reviews
