Yelp

Yelp is one of the most heavily used review and local-discovery platforms for restaurants, home services, and other in-person businesses, but it works very differently from social networks when it comes to third-party automation. Its public developer API is read-only, built for looking up business and review data rather than publishing content, and its terms of service explicitly restrict automated posting. Posts under this tag cover what Yelp actually allows businesses to do themselves, why the platform is built this way, and how to build a realistic, mostly manual routine for keeping a Yelp listing current without expecting the same kind of RSS-driven automation that works on Facebook or LinkedIn. The routine it recommends is unglamorous and works: keep the listing accurate by hand, and automate the content you publish on your own site instead. The related local SEO tag covers where that effort actually pays off.
