If you are a local business owner that is looking to increase your Yelp reviews,

continue reading! You will learn how to get customers to leave you more Yelp reviews

Post Yelp signage

Obvious and effective. Post a sign at your location to encourage your customers to find

your business on Yelp and write a review while they’re shopping or dining at your location

Post your positive Yelp reviews

1. Other Yelpers realize that this place is highly reviewed and worth reviewing, so they’ll take

the time to review it as well.

2. People in line will feel very positive while waiting in line and the taste of the food will be that much better because they expect it to be

great, leading to positive reviews

Offer a special reward to the Foursquare mayor

Yelpers are highly likely to use other social media service such as Foursquare. Therefore, the more Foursquare users that you attract, the higher the chance that you’re attracting

people that leave reviews on Yelp.

Host a Yelp event

1. Interact with your current Yelpers (the users that have already reviewed your business on Yelp)

2. Interact with Yelpers that have reviewed a similar business to yours

3. Contact your local Yelp Elite member to let him know that you’re looking to host a Yelp event and that you’re looking to work with him to host it

4. Create a a web-form with Wufoo and invite Yelpers to RSVP for your event

Collect emails and Request reviews in the footer

Do NOT send an email just to ask for Yelp reviews – this can have negative consequences and makes you look like a needy business owner. Instead, make the ask passive.

In the footer of your emails, create a link to your Yelp page:Let us know your feedback on Yelp! Over 100 others have already!!!

Positive Increase

Each step above takes investment on your part. If you hustle, have excellent food and service, and constantly remind your customers to review you on Yelp, then you will greatly increase your reviews and see a very positive increase in foot traffic to your business.
