You may have seen your business on Yelp and read through your reviews, but did you know that only about 1% of consumers on Yelp are adding reviews and photos to the site? Most people go to Yelp to find a great local business when they need one, and a study conducted by Nielsen found that nearly 90% of searches on Yelp result in a transaction within a week. So how do you get these potential clients in your door? This webinar will walk you through how you can use Yelp for Business Owners to put your best foot forward on Yelp and tell the story of your business in a place that consumers are looking to spend. It will also cover how to use your reviews to nurture your most loyal customers, convert more potential customers, and how to handle your negative feedback.
