Step by step introductions to connecting with Yelp.
In order to publish to Yelp, it is important to have 2 different credentials added to Localistico.

After creating the Yelp Business account, you should claim one of your business profiles by clicking on Claim this business. Then contact the location that you just claimed because the Yelp team will call directly to this location in order to know if you are the real owner. Yelp Team will ask you on this call for a code that you will see on your screen while you are doing the claiming. You only need to tell them this code and the business account will be created.
You will have to claim only one profile, not all of them. Localistico publishes your data as a suggestion on Yelp, which the platform monitors in general accept.
