    My business has 5 - 5 star Yelp reviews.
    « on: February 27, 2016, 04:05:50 pm »
    It's been a big help.   Problem is people who use Yelp are younger and don't own homes.  So my clients have only written that single review.  Makes it look fake like I opened multiple accounts and wrote them myself.

      I think for your industry Angies List is better. Its more for contracting work, and weeds out the cheapskates of Yelp (AL users are more established and have money).

      But it certainly helps to get google and yelp reviews because you will rank better in search engines

      you should also ask your clients to write some short "testimonials" and put them on your website

        I've never looked at Yelp for anything.

        I don't know what it is.

          I use Angie's List, it's awesome. It's the first place I look for contractors there first.

            Is Yelp like Back Pages?

              Yelp is a business review website, pretty useful

              Almost every business has customers who rate the business, so you know beforehand to choose them to do business with or not

              kinda like "word of mouth" online

                  If you search a business name it comes up in the first results.  Along with the rating, be it one review or 25.

                    Then make even more fake accounts just to throw people off your trail. I fail to see the problem.
