People--even Yelpers--are very forgiving; the worst thing you, as a business owner, can do is to get an attitude. That never goes well. We just had a bit of a tiff on Yelp here in Phoenix in which an angry biz owner made the mistake of going off on a prominent Yelper. I'm sure if she had taken a couple of deep breaths, she could have avoided the ugly press.

It doesn't matter how many people walk though the door, if the business fails to have excellent service then the connection is never made. :) I agree Natasha!

I just had a conversation with a client in Italy who voiced his fears of Travelocity on his restaurant business. Like you said, good service and responsiveness is key. At the end of the day, customers want to know that you are listening to what they say. Chad, Thanks for the informative post about using Yelp.

In point 4 you say that selecting the type of page ie, local business or brand is VERY important, but other than stating that it cannot be changed later, you dont say WHY it is important?

Behind that “WHY” is the question “what is the difference between a “local business” page and a “brand” page?

Let me clarify, a local business will also strive to be a brand, and a brand will also be a business.

So if one hypothetically discovered the Fountain of Youth and started selling the contents of this fountain as an age reversing drink, what is the difference between registering a “local business” page under the “Health and Beauty” category vs registering a “brand” page under the “Food and Drink” category? …

You know, because selecting the right type of page is so important (as stated basically everywhere) and the category cannot be changed later!

For me, I decided to take Popeye's advice: I yam what I yam. Since that's what got me where I am today, I figure clients and employers actually come to expect that. And if not... well then I guess we're not a fit. And that's OK. Branding is a bitch, particularly when YOU are the business at hand. For me, I decided to take Popeye's advice: I yam what I yam.

The answers to all the questions are different for everyone, but it's scary how few people even do the asking.
