Yelping

Yelping is the act of posting reviews and sharing experiences about local businesses on the website and mobile app Yelp. Users can rate businesses on a scale of one to five stars and write detailed reviews about their service, products, atmosphere, and other aspects. The platform covers a wide range of businesses, including restaurants, shops, service providers, and more.

Founded in 2004, Yelp has grown into a popular platform for both consumers seeking recommendations and businesses looking to engage with their customer base. Businesses can create profiles to showcase their offerings, respond to reviews, and post updates. Consumers use Yelp to discover new places, make informed decisions, and share their opinions with others.

The website's functionality includes search filters, user profiles, and the ability to bookmark businesses and create lists. Yelp's community aspect is also significant, with users often developing reputations as reliable reviewers. The platform aims to provide a comprehensive and trustworthy source of local business information.
