What Makes an Upgraded Yelp Page Different:
Basic Yelp Profile
- Free, but mostly static – A simple online presence, but few tools to truly stand out in search results
- Basic info and photos – Shows only the essential business details and a handful of images, limiting your brand’s story and credibility
- Competes directly with other ads – Your profile appears alongside competitors’ ads, making it harder to capture attention
- Low visibility on mobile search – Customers browsing on phones (over 60% of users) may struggle to find your business
Upgraded Yelp Page
- Logo, slideshow, highlights, verified badges – Showcase your brand with premium visuals and trust signals that immediately capture attention
- No competitor ads on your page – Block ads from the competition and give your business the spotlight it deserves
- Custom CTAs for bookings, calls, messages – Drive customer action directly from your page with personalized buttons for engagement
- Yelp Connect to share news/promos – Keep your audience informed and engaged with posts about special offers, events, and updates
A Yelp Upgrade Package allows you to take full control of how your business appears online, ensuring local customers not only find you first but also choose you over the competition.
Why aren’t you harnessing the power of a Yelp Upgrade Package?
- "We don’t want to deal with another platform. Our website is good enough."
Your website is your home base, but Yelp is where customers actually discover you. An Upgraded Yelp Page makes sure they arrive at your site impressed, informed, and ready to act.
- "We don’t want to pay for something free."
Free gives you a profile, but an Upgraded Page helps you stand out. Extra features like slideshows, badges, and buttons make it easier for people to notice and reach you, earning a return on your investment.
- "We’re too busy running the business to manage Yelp."
That’s the point — the Yelp Upgrade Package does a lot of the work for you (and we can help do the rest!).
- "We have plenty of work right now. We don’t need more calls, bookings, or messages."
Even if things are steady, a better profile makes sure people who are looking for what you offer actually reach out, instead of going somewhere else.
- "We’re a niche business. Yelp won’t benefit us."
People search for all kinds of businesses on Yelp, not just restaurants. If your business fits a need, an Upgraded Page makes it easier for the right people to find you.
- "Yelp seems complicated. What should we even post?"
You don’t have to overthink it. Yelp Connect makes sharing updates, specials, or news easy, and it keeps your profile looking active and current. If you don’t want to stress about it, we can also help handle this to take even more off your plate!

From polishing your profile with a Yelp Upgrade Package to make sure every detail of your profile shows off your brand to the fullest, we turn your Yelp page into a destination, not just a listing.

Answering your questions about the Yelp Upgrade Package.
If your goal is to attract more local customers and increase leads, calls, or bookings, Yelp Ads can be highly effective. Our team can help evaluate your category, search trends, and competition to determine the best approach, then help create and manage your campaigns.
Absolutely. Using an Upgraded Page alongside Yelp Ads amplifies your visibility, ensuring your business reaches more people and encourages them to take action when they’re actively searching for services like yours.
Any business that serves local customers can benefit, from restaurants and salons to home services and retail shops. If people search for your services online, an Upgraded Page helps them find you and builds confidence in your brand.

The Yelp Upgrade Package transforms your standard Yelp profile into a fully enhanced, professional page. It includes features like slideshows, logos, verified badges, custom calls-to-action, and Yelp Connect posts so your business stands out and engages potential customers more effectively.
Help your business grow with the Yelp Upgrade Package
Make sure customers see the best version of your business. The Yelp Upgrade Package makes your profile more powerful without adding to your to-do list.
