Getting Yelp reviews might be a little difficult, especially because Yelp expressly tells youÂ notÂ to ask for reviews. According to their Business Owner Guidelines “which is part of their Terms of Service“ you can't ask your customers for Yelp Reviews. That's right, you can't ask customers, friends, family, email subscribers, or any living animal on planet Earth to write a review for your business. That means you can't create a competition with your staff to see who gets more reviews, you can't issue surveys asking for Yelp reviews, and you can't give customers any kind of incentive to give your establishment positive reviews (no discounts, no free products, nothing).
