Everyone knows that you’re not supposed to ask for reviews on Yelp. No ifs, ands, or buts.
Do. Not. Do it.
Yelp doesn’t want you saying or doing anything more than telling customers, “We’re on Yelp.” If you go beyond that, they consider it review solicitation and Yelp might out you for everyone to see right on your business profile.
But that doesn’t stop a lot of local businesses. No, there’s a ton of SMB’s asking for Yelp reviews. And they’re not being sneaky about it.
How Not to Ask for Reviews on Yelp
The best advice I can share for small business owners is this:
Don’t ask for Yelp reviews. On Twitter. Especially with the @Yelp handle in your tweet.
