Traveling Businesses Get Love From Yelp

16 Feb Traveling Businesses Get Love From Yelp

Yelp has a great track record of listening to comments and suggestions from their users in order to help improve their apps and services. One of the newest innovations to come out of this willingness to listen and learn from their users is the creation of a function that allows users to see just how large a distance any service-based businesses, such as repairmen, electricians, or limo drivers, are willing to travel in order to attend to a customer.

Now, any business owner who has an unlocked Yelp page with enterprise classified as service based can use the Business Owner Tools to list an additional 5 major cities under their areas of service. This also has the additional effect of making those businesses searchable in those 5 additional cities on Yelp, giving business owners a larger potential market.

With Yelp users becoming more and more reliant on mobile apps to help them find reliable businesses and services in a pinch, features such as these help connecting businesses and consumers much faster and easier.

The following business categories will see this new feature within their dashboard on biz.yelp.com:

Airport Shuttles, Home Cleaning, Personal Chefs, Carpet Cleaning, Home Health Care, Pest Control, Carpet Installation, Home Inspectors Photographers / Videographers, Carpeting, Home Staging, Plumbing, Caterers, Home Theatre Installation, Pool Cleaners, Contractors, Interior Design, Private Tutors, Couriers & Delivery Services, Junk Removal and Hauling, Real Estate Agents, DJs,  Keys & Locksmiths, Roofing, Dog Walkers, Landscape Architects, Security Systems, Electricians, Landscaping, Solar Installation, Flooring, Limos, Taxis, Food Delivery Services, Movers, Towing, Gardeners, Office Cleaning, Tree Services, Handyman Painters, Window Washing / Installation, Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC, Party & Event Planning, and Wedding Planning
