Yelp Sucks

Finally implemented a very useful and obvious feature to photos.

Hey small business owners, I just wanted to pass along this tip. If you're frustrated that Yelp reviews show up for your business in Apple Maps, there's now actually something you can do about it.

Apple has been generating their own review system for businesses for quite some time now, and they are phasing out Yelp as the main review system on display in your business listing if you have five or more native Apple business reviews about your business. Here is a video explaining Apple's simple thumbs up/down system that will replace Yelp reviews in your Apple Maps business listing if you have 5+ Apple business reviews:

So small business owners: Just ask customers to review their business directly with Apple Maps until you hit at least five Apple business reviews. Then when customers search your business page in Apple Maps, your Yelp reviews are adios!

Apple is coming for Yelp and it's beautiful to see. No wonder Yelp's stock price is down 36.79% year-to-date.

Yelp has become irrelevant. I used to rely on it for everything, but now I turn to Google and ChatGPT. Times have changed, and Yelp just hasn’t kept up. The way people discover businesses and make decisions has evolved, and unless Yelp reinvents itself, it risks becoming a thing of the past. Being the go-to platform yesterday doesn’t guarantee you’ll matter tomorrow.

Hi All,

How do I report a business in Yelp?

I left a negative review as the business was unethical and did not provide services I paid for. Received a text to my phone with profanity from the business owner. Supposedly, my review was removed due to violating the terms of service.

I reposted the review with a slight variation. Received another text to my phone with profanity from the business owner.

Thanks.
