How to Add Your Business to Yelp
Quick Answer
Yelp is one of the top places consumers check before hiring a local service business. Claiming your listing is free and takes about five minutes.
1.Go to Yelp for Business
Visit biz.yelp.com and click "Manage my free listing".
2.Search for your business
Type your business name and city. If it already exists (someone may have added it), click "Claim this business." If not, click "Add your business to Yelp."
3.Fill in your business info
Add your business name, category (e.g. Contractor, HVAC, Landscaper), address or service area, phone number, website, and hours.
4.Create a free Yelp account
You'll need a Yelp Business account to manage the listing. Use your business email.
5.Verify your listing
Yelp will verify by phone call or email. Once verified, your listing goes live.
6.Add photos and a business description
Upload real photos of your work and write a short description of what you do and where you serve.
Tip: Yelp often ranks on the first page of Google for “[service] near me” searches. A complete, photo-rich listing helps you capture those clicks even without a website.
