The New Yelp 12 Second Video Feature Is Really Going To Be Great

By Josiah Bashir


If you are like most people today they research businesses before spending their hard earned dollars there. The good thing is that the internet has provided a great medium for reviewing a business before going to it. One such website that provides a great service to consumers in the form of business reviews is Yelp.



If you are someone who needs to read reviews about a particular business then you will really love this new video feature on Yelp. Now you will be able to see what type of atmosphere and ambiance a restaurant has before you even step foot in the place. You can see whether or not it is kid friendly, or perhaps you are looking for a place that is a bit more romantic? Now you can see all of that when you check out video reviews on Yelp!

Having a video is great for users wanting to know what type of people dine at a restaurant they are looking to go to. If you have kids, is this a place that caters to them? You can see that on video, as well as see what the dress code is at the place. This really helps determine if kids are going to enjoy themselves at the restaurant.

Many people love to read reviews before they go to a business, and now with video it will save the consumer time and money because they will get to see before they go. This new video feature should prove quite popular with Yelp because in the past reviews with pictures in them always had longer website visits than just text-based reviews. Now with video consumers will have more of an incentive to stay on Yelp and check out more reviews!

Yelp has decided to take their review website to a much higher level by including the addition of video to their website. Now consumers can upload 3-12 second video reviews of local businesses via a Yelp mobile app.

In addition to the video being a good marketing platform for a business, it can really help the consumer decide on where they would like to spend their money. They can see through video if it is an appropriate place to take children, what the dress code might be and also see the type of patrons that frequent the business. Check out the new Yelp video feature, then be sure to spread the word so others can benefit from this great service!
