Yelp!
For local small businesses, Yelp isn’t just an option — it’s a necessity.
Yelp is another powerful tool for local business owners. If you have not claimed your Yelp Business Page you are missing a huge opportunity. You also need to monitor your Yelp reviews regularly, there is nothing worse than having a bad review of your business sitting their for everyone to see! With Yelp you can:
- Have visitors post positive reviews about your business – take a look at all the positive reviews the WigWam in Litchfield Park has received!
- Announce Special Offers - Help drive customers to your business, customize messages, announce special offers, or just show your fans some love. For an example check out the Brothers Pizza in Goodyear Special Offer.
- Create a Check-In Offer – Mobile coupons significantly increase your presence when people search for businesses on their phones.
- Post Pictures! – Images are an important part of the mobile experience – people want to see what your business looks like.You can upload as many photos as you would like, and it’s free. The West Valley Home Team in Avondale posts pictures of it’s Realtors and their Certifications.
- Communicate with your Customers – You have a voice, so join the conversation regarding your business; reply to reviews either publicly or privately.
- View Business Trends – What’s word-of-mouth doing for you? Stats and charts measure the performance of your business page on Yelp. Some of the categories in Yelp for specific cities don’t have any entries yet, why not be the first? Buckeye doesn’t have anyone listed under it’s Marketing Category, what a great opportunity for someone in Buckeye to grab that spot!
