Is your business or law firm listed in YELP?

Why should I create a listing in Yelp? 

Yelp has fast become a great digital directory used by thousands of consumers every day to find 5 star rated restaurants, quality retailers, local businesses, hotels, shopping malls, gas stations, and 5 star rated attorneys.

As an example, my wife and I used Yelp the other day to find a local Japanese restaurant. The first thing we did was read the reviews left by consumers. If the restaurant had a poor quality rating (3 stars or less stars), we went on to the next 4 star listing until we found one that had excellent reviews by past customers.


If your business or law firm is consumer based and provides services such as: Personal injury law, criminal defense law, family law, asset protection law, probate law, estate planning, etc. You should  take 5 minutes to create an account listing if you don't have one.

A listing in Yelp can help your law firm pick up new leads when people are searching for an attorney for your particular niche or practice area.

Secondly, past clients can post a review about you or your firm even if you don’t have an account listing in Yelp. Take a minute to visit www.Yelp.com and do a search for your firm or business to see if anyone has written something about you. If you have a Yelp listing and no reviews, ask satisfied clients to log in and rate you
