Our take

Yelp has been helping people find local businesses since it was founded in 2004 to fill a gap in the market for online recommendations of nearby services. The company is one of the pioneers in the reviews space alongside TripAdvisor.

To differentiate itself, Yelp moves beyond customer reviews to provide users with more personalised recommendations, such as telling customers when their favourite restaurant has updated their menu. The company also champions its community as a reliable, unfiltered source of reviews.

The main battle for the company is against the increasing dominance of Google in the reviews space, which will be important for Yelp to keep innovating to stay ahead in the long term. The company looks to achieve this by focusing on data, improving its monetisation strategy and introducing enhanced features. For example, it recently redesigned the inbox experience to help businesses trying to reach consumers through high-quality leads.
