Editing How to Add a Business to the Yelp Database



Adding your business to Yelp can help you gain visibility and attract more customers. Here are the steps to add a business to the Yelp database:

1. Visit the Yelp website: Go to www.yelp.com and click on the "Claim your Business" or "Add your Business" button.

2. Enter Your Business Information: Fill out the online form with your business name, address, phone number, website, hours of operation, and other relevant details. Make sure to double-check your information for accuracy.

3. Select Your Business Category: Choose the category that best describes your business from the drop-down menu. Yelp will suggest a few options based on the information you provided, but you can also choose from other categories.

4. Upload Photos: Add some photos that showcase your business. These can be of your products, services, storefront, or anything else that represents your business.

5. Confirm Your Business: Yelp may ask you to verify your business ownership by calling your business phone number or mailing a postcard to your business address with a verification code.

6. Review Your Listing: Once you have verified your business, review your listing to make sure all the information is accurate and complete. You can also add additional details, such as a business description or menu.

7. Submit Your Listing: After you have reviewed and confirmed your listing, submit it to Yelp for approval. Yelp will review your submission and may contact you if they need any additional information.

8. Wait for Approval: It can take a few days for Yelp to approve your listing. Once your listing is approved, it will be live on Yelp, and customers can start leaving reviews and rating your business.

By following these steps, you can add your business to Yelp and increase your visibility to potential customers.
