Why is Yelp so one sided when it comes to the lawn care service industry? When you in a position as a marketer in the lawn care industry, you will eventually come across yelp. Yes, the big scary 4 letter word Y-E-L-P. Thi site has single-handedly grown and destroyed thousands of business across the US. Yelp is a review based site where Active Yelpers can leave comments and advise consumers of your business and their experience with it.
The issue seems to be that those who often yelp are consumers who want to warn other consumers. This can lead to a very one-sided platform. Rather than being two sided, Yelp does not post all reviews. Even though they state that they do state relevant reviews, they do not. I have for years watched business after business dump ten's of thousands of dollars into these guys and I have to say its a waste of time, money and effort.
If you want to save time and effort link your Google, Facebook, Home Advisor and or Thumbtack reviews to your site. This will help to generate the focus where it is truly needed!
