Every day, millions of people come to Yelp for our trusted content and reviews on local businesses. With Yelp Fusion, we’re able to bring this high quality content to consumers seeking information on local business in other places across the web, on mobile and in cars and homes. For years, industry leaders like Amazon, Apple and Audi have integrated Yelp content into their products; and recently, we announced an integration which brought Yelp’s rich local business content to Uber’s users through the app’s Uber Explore feature.
Today, we’re excited to announce our latest integration with leading email marketing and automation platform Mailchimp, which makes it easier than ever for businesses to add content from their Yelp page, including reviews, photos and more, directly into their email marketing campaigns. We’ve also brought Yelp content and data into even more platforms, which are now using Yelp business information as a part of their core product experience across various industries, including auto, travel, real estate, and health.
Businesses Can Now Easily Incorporate Yelp Content into Mailchimp Campaigns
For many business owners, email is a primary marketing channel to attract and retain customers, and engaging content plays an important role in capturing the attention of those customers. For the first time, Mailchimp users with claimed Yelp Business Pages are able to seamlessly enhance their marketing emails with content from Yelp, including their Yelp rating, recent reviews, photos, and business details. By using the newly added Yelp content blocks in Mailchimp, businesses can easily highlight a favorite review touting a great customer experience, a photo from Yelp of a special dish or a recent home service job, or simply share their hours, location, and contact information. Businesses can now select and embed the best content from Yelp to tell their story directly from the Mailchimp platform. These new Yelp content blocks link back to the business’s Yelp page, making it easy for customers to click through to read more reviews, view more photos, and connect with the business via features like Request A Quote and Yelp Reservations.
We’re excited to make Yelp content easily available to businesses on Mailchimp. Here’s what Joni Deus, VP of Partnerships for Mailchimp, had to say about our partnership: “Giving Mailchimp customers the ability to add Yelp reviews, photos, location information, and other valuable content from their Yelp profile directly into their email campaigns helps businesses build trust and confidence with their audiences. We’re thrilled to partner with Yelp and bring their trusted content to millions of Mailchimp users to seamlessly leverage in their marketing efforts ahead of a busy holiday season.”

Dozens of auto manufacturers, including Ford Motor Company, Audi, and many more, leverage Yelp Fusion Automotive to deliver the most flexible and scalable platform to modernize their infotainment and cockpit products. Consumers can find Yelp’s local business content, such as ratings and reviews, as a part of their infotainment system in more than half of new vehicles sold in the U.S. in the last two years.

Yelp Fusion is also helping potential homeowners learn more about their neighborhood. Through our integration with Realtor.com, prospective homeowners can discover great local businesses near the homes or neighborhoods they’re interested in, which can also be searched for by category using Realtor.com’s “Amenities” filter. Additionally, Yelp Fusion is bringing Yelp’s content to the healthcare industry by powering MetLife’s new “Find a Dentist” feature to make it easier for consumers to find great local dentists and make informed decisions about their health.*
Making rich and reliable local business information accessible everywhere, on any screen or voice activated platform, can help people make more informed decisions about businesses that best fit their needs, and help businesses stand out to potential customers. We’re excited to explore more of these possibilities with our Yelp Fusion partners across industries.
