SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE:
GDDY), the company that empowers everyday entrepreneurs, today
announced a Yelp integration with its website builder and marketing
platform GoCentral. GoCentral is the first website builder that
enables users to natively create and claim their Yelp business
listing.
According to a Nielsen study, 92 percent of consumers make a
purchase after visiting Yelp, the #1 most-visited web property in
the business directory category (comScore, February 2019). With this integration, small
business owners can maintain a strong online presence by easily
creating and claiming a listing, and accessing reviews from one
platform. This helps business owners streamline communication with
customers and save much needed time.
"Consumers are increasingly turning to online reviews to
discover local businesses," said GoDaddy Senior Product Manager
Alisa Neymark. "Enabling business
owners to create and claim their Yelp business listings from within
the GoCentral platform is an efficient and powerful way to foster
increased brand loyalty and help attract new customers."
GoDaddy customers are already taking advantage of this feature.
James Oregon, owner of Auto Fix
Unlimited based in Texas, recently
set up a new Yelp account through GoCentral and has already
received more than 70 leads, such as quote requests, through
Yelp. James says, "Having Yelp in GoCentral is very important
because I like to have everything in one place, so I can have
access from one single window."
Using GoCentral, the majority of users are able to submit a
claim for their business listing in less than four minutes. Once
the listing is claimed, the GoCentral dashboard will show key
insights about how the business listing is performing, and the user
can easily see new reviews in GoCentral so they can respond on Yelp
accordingly. For example, GoCentral dashboards revealed that in
February, enabled businesses received over one million views from
Yelp.
The Yelp integration is available now to all GoCentral customers
in the US on the Business Plus and Online Store plans.
