Internet Business Opportunities
With the growing success of Yelp.com, more and more businesses are starting to recognize Yelp’s importance. A quick check of Quantcast.com shows that Internet traffic to Yelp has doubled between October 2008 to March 2009. Here are some tips for business owners on how to optimize the business opportunities presented by Yelp.com:
Step One: Get listed. Begin by registering on Yelp.com and searching Yelp’s directory for your business listing. If a listing exists, use the “claim this listing” link to create your official business profile. If your business doesn’t have a listing, then it’s time to create one.
Step Two: Start Yelping. Review your favorite coffee shop, your local hardware store, and the restaurant on the corner. Take the time to read reviews of these places that are left by others so you can get a sense of the community. Plan on spending an hour a day yelping for at least a week.
Step Three: Get reviewed. After getting listed, a lot of business owners are tempted to email their close friends and business partners and ask them for a friendly Yelp review. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with this – in fact, I highly recommend it – Yelp.com has a system for deleting these types of reviews if you’re not careful.
Yelp.com’s software automatically deletes reviews that appear “spammy”, which is to say that users with only one review to their name generally have their reviews deleted after a few weeks have passed. So when you ask your friends and relatives to register on Yelp and leave a review, ask them to use Yelp in a natural manner. Ask them to take the time to leave half a dozen reviews on Yelp over the course of a week or two before reviewing your business – this will help to make sure their reviews aren’t deleted.
Step Four: Build a killer profile. Many business owners make the mistake of thinking that their business hours and products are enough for a good profile. This isn’t so. Take the time to make your Yelp.com profile informative and interesting, and don’t forget you can advertise a coupon for your business for free.
Step Five: Reach out to the community. Under your business profile, you’re allowed to recommend as many as five businesses (related or not). While it might be tempting to recommend your friends and acquaintances, it’s important that to recognize active Yelp users are more likely to reciprocate a recommendation (and/or leave a good review). Choose your recommendations carefully.
Step Six: Encourage your customers to review you. Make sure to tell all your customers that your business is listed on Yelp and that you would appreciate a review. Customers that really like your service will often jump at the chance to sing your praises. Place a sign on your door, a note in your menu, or a blurb in your next customer newsletter.
Step Seven: Network. It doesn’t get any simpler – network with other business owners and exchange good reviews. You should also take advantage of Yelp’s social network. When you see a good review from someone, become a fan. By building a network of friends on Yelp.com, you’ll maintain a good profile.
As Yelp continues to grow, complete business profiles with good reviews are leading to more and more new customers. Participating on Yelp.com now, and encouraging your customers to leave you positive reviews, will pay big dividends later as Yelp continues to grow.
