What Yelp is
Yelp is a local listings and review service available through its website and mobile apps for Android and iOS. People can browse business profiles that include reviews, while businesses can submit listings for free and claim their profiles. Verified profiles are supported, giving listings a verification status. Yelp uses a freemium pricing model and offers a free plan, so the service can be accessed without a paid subscription. Its local audience focus suits people looking for businesses or services in a particular area. The web service and mobile app provide access across common devices. Profile reviews add user-generated information to listings, which readers can consider when evaluating local places or services.
