“Latinx-owned” business attribute
Business owners with Latinx heritage can add the “Latinx-owned” attribute to display on their Yelp Page. This free, searchable attribute helps consumers find and support local businesses of color.
How to add “Latinx-owned” to your Yelp Page
- Log in to Yelp for Business (Business Information tab)
- In the Amenities section, click Add or Edit
- Select Yes next to “Latinx-owned”
- Click Save Changes
Why “Latinx”?
There are many terms commonly used to describe people of Latinx heritage. Before selecting “Latinx-owned” as the inclusive, gender-neutral label for this new attribute, we did research, polled Latinx Yelp employees, and spoke to members of the Latinx community and groups such as the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and our partner Momento Latino.
