The timeline shows the number of unique mobile visitors on the recommendation platform Yelp from 2016 to 2020, per quarter. The local search and review site's mobile visitor numbers are showing steady growth, reaching over 29.6 million unique mobile app devices in the third quarter of 2020.
Yelp, Inc. is an American Internet company that operates a recommendation portal for service providers. The Company's website provides specialized search capabilities and provides information about stores in a specific area specified by address or zip code.
In addition to Yelp, there are other platforms that have taken on the topic of reviews.
TripAdvisor focuses on travel destinations and recommendations from travelers for travelers. Foursquare linked the topic of gamification with reviews and was the first provider to introduce a check-in function, as is now also available on Yelp.
The increasingly powerful functions of Google Maps, including its own lists, reviews, photos and integration into the Google or Google Maps search function, are now also making Yelp strong competition.
