Today we are going to look at

and how it can get you

free customers for your lawn care business

Let's get started

What is Yelp?

Yelp is the market leader for local review sites

Yelp has over 71,000,000 monthly users

Yelp has the largest review database with over 27 million reviews

all done by its community of Yelpers

.. and Yelpers are doing 40% of their searches on mobile phones now

so you need to make sure your website works great on mobile phones

Understand this fact about Yelp

Yelp is a destination where people are talking about your business

Even if you are not part of the conversation

It is better for your business to be a part of that conversation

Here is how to list your lawn care business

using Yelp the right way

First you need to head on over to Yelp

and claim your business

https://biz.yelp.com/signup/

You will see this screen

Next fill in the form with your business information

Set your business hours to when you cut lawns

You can pick every day

and make it

8:00 am to 8:00 pm

if you are not sure what to put

When picking your categories set them like this

When picking your categories set them like this

Yelp lets you pick 3 categories

there is one for irrigation

pick this if you do sprinklers

When you complete the form

You will be taken to the Yelp dashboard

It takes Yelp a few days to approve your business

When they do you will get a special Yelp business owners account

Next is to Add Photos

According to a study from review trackers

Yelpers spend 2.5 times more time on listings with photos

Make the first one your logo

Then add as many good photos of your work as possible

Pick the best homes you cut

Take the photo right after you cut their grass

Do it on a sunny day in the morning

Include amazing landscape projects you have done

You can just snap some pictures with your iPhone or Android phone

The next step is to add your business description

You can not do this until your yelp business is approved

In your description you want to use these words

They are called "keywords"

They will trigger your business to show up more often:
