Fifteen superstar business owners are joining Yelp’s Small Business Advisory Council to represent you. How exactly will they do that, you ask? For starters, the group will head to San Francisco to share their insights and ideas with Yelp’s top executives. They’ll also join monthly conference calls to discuss Yelp initiatives that impact business owners. These ideas are then used to streamline products, programs, and policies and generally make Yelp better for you.
Business owners from all around the world applied for a spot on this year’s council. The newest members were selected because of their passion and drive to make a difference. They also represent a wide cross section of industries and geographies. So if you don’t see your name below, rest assured you’re in good hands. With that in mind, we’re excited to unveil the names of our new, as well as returning, members!

We love working with the small business community, and the YSBAC is one of several ways that we do this. We also offer free educational webinars, workshops with our Business Outreach team, and tips via our Blog for Business Owners. We’re excited to continue our efforts and develop new ways to help you close the loop with consumers.
