Yelp continues to be one of the most important and trusted social review sites on the internet with over 60 million registered users and over 20 million reviews. Consumers nowadays often turn to Yelp to check out reviews of local businesses before making a decision about a service they consider using. It is therefore of great importance for notaries to be present on Yelp. In addition to positive reviews, Yelp establishes a web presence even if notaries do not have a website, or helps linking back to one’s site and increase search engine visibility. Most of all, with Yelp notaries can build a positive reputation that in turn leads to more business. Basic business listings are free.
