Why Yelp should Seriously Eat S*^&% and Die

Wow DealerRater, have NOT heard that name in a long time! But then again I've been out of the car biz for a while.

Has any dealer here looked into adding review schema to their website? So their domain shows 5 stars in the SERPs?

There's a bunch of review collection software out there that will allow you to place a widget on your site, with the schema already pre-populated. Or, just make it up.

And yes, Jeff, Yelp is now telling their customers that they shouldn't even ask their customers to leave a review. Just let it happen naturally. They think everybody's stupid.

Now they want agencies to resell their services..

Daniel Mondello vents about Yelp's business practices and monopolistic control over business listings, with his primary grievance being that Apple's SIRI function pulls contact information from Yelp, forcing him to engage with the platform despite not wanting to. The thread discusses whether Yelp exploits businesses through aggressive monetization tactics and whether online review platforms are becoming unavoidable costs of doing business in automotive sales and service. The broader consensus suggests that while Yelp's practices may be problematic, dealers increasingly have no choice but to manage their presence there given the platform's massive traffic and integration into smartphone functions.
