If you’ve been encouraging people to leave reviews for your business while they’re actually at your business, don’t offer them up your own device to do it. Luckily, last year, Yelp added the ability for users to leave reviews from the Yelp app.
“Yelpers won’t have to wait until they get home to tell the world why their neighborhood barber is deserving of five shiny stars – they can do it directly from their phones, while they’re on-the-go,” a Yelp product manager wrote in a blog post at the time.
“We have zero tolerance for those who are trying to manipulate their online reputations in an effort to get ahead of hard-working business owners who are playing by the rules,” says Whisenand. “We encourage businesses to take a hands off approach when it comes to receiving reviews and take advantage of the free suite of tools Yelp provides business owners who are interested in joining the conversations that are happening about them online.”
