A little bit - it's great for reviews if a lot of your clients are active users.  If people don't already use the site though, their reviews will often be removed.

 Good Tuesday morning Jack. I've heard both good and bad about yelp. Good reviews help, bad reviews almost impossible to get rid of.

Jack Lewitz I have the account - however, never used it! I think it's a great tool. Though you can't ask for reviews on Yelp, to best of my knowledge.

Jack - I set up a profile on Yelp, but have not done much since. I guess the key is to get reviews, and I guess I should work on that.

run, fast as you can.  While having past clients leave legitimate reviews there could be helpful, DO NOT pay them.

I've read yelp on several occasions, but they don't have anything different than others have on businesses.

Yes, we've been getting more and more business from yelp. I'm finding that many Gen X and Gen Y are checking out our reviews there.  Some are going there to search for people; others find our website and then check us out there.  It's been 3 yrs of growth and this year, it's a pretty substantial #.

BTW, I do not pay for this. The key is getting more reviews.  And, yes at John Meussner mentioned some of them are screened out.

Have an account and early on we realized it was going no where and Yelp started calling trying to get us to pay for a premium spot. That killed it for us.
