Shout To The World, I'm on Yelp! Claim it. Own it. Rock it!

Yelp is a great social network where millions of users visit each month in search of local businesses.

Claiming your business listing is free, and once complete, you will be able to perform the following actions:

1. Respond to reviews
   
2. Add announcements (events/offers)
   
3. Upload unlimited photos
4. Enhance listing with a contact information, business hours, description, business history, your specialties, and more.
   
5. View analytics (number of visitors per week/month)
6. Use the “Recommended Business” feature to link to sister properties.
7. Promote your business with Offers - Business Page Offers and Check-in Offers.
