But based on experienced, we can infer that the above is true. I opted to choose five random businesses in the local Sacramento area: a restaurant, auto repair shop, plumber, clothing shop, and golf course.
I would collect this data for each and every visible and filtered review for these five businesses, and see if the comparisons made anything clear. Now, there is a complicating factor for any comparison of Yelp reviews. In a phrase: power users. While many Yelp users are very low-key, only leaving a small handful of reviews, instead primarily using the service to view reviews left by other users.
But there is a small a coalition of super users who contribute a LOT of reviews to Yelp. For instance, one business I looked at had 33 reviews. When I took a look at how many photos each user had previous submitted to Yelp, I found that while most users had contributed zero or very few photos, one user had submitted 9, photos to Yelp. This presents a serious problem.
They completely wreck the grading curve. With this in mind, for all other variables besides Yelp rating, I chose to use the median average. For our purposes, a median is really useful because it gives us a number where half the users in a group fell below that number, and half of the users are above it. The median is the proverbial C student, smack in the middle of the demographic.
With this in mind, the analysis below relies on the mean averages of user ratings, and the median averages of photo counts, review counts, and friend counts. In each comparison, the first figure will be from the visible reviews, while the second will be from filtered reviews. In two cases, the average score for visible reviews was greater than that of filtered reviews.
These days, social media has a huge impact on business and culture. Consequently, it has become imperative to understand who a user is in order to have a better understanding of their viewpoint. And it appears the data supports this supposition. There is a very clear trend here. With the auto shop the difference is pretty small, but in every case visible reviews were more likely to have profile images associated with them.
This is one of the most frequently asked questions coming from Yelp business page owners. Sometimes, these online reviews might suddenly go missing from your Yelp business page. This can be frustrating. Imagine a Yelp user arriving at your page without being able to read the positive reviews shared by your loyal customers. There are a number of reasons why a Yelp review has disappeared.
The most obvious reason for Yelp removing a review from a business page is that the review is fake. While the site does not typically take sides in factual disputes, Yelp moderators can independently verify questionable reviews that have been flagged and reported. For reviews deemed by moderators to be fake, the result is removal of the review from the Yelp business page.
If the author deleted the review, you will not be able to get the review back, regardless of whether it was positive or negative. The only way you can have it displayed again on your Yelp page is if the author writes the exact same review. So what kind of reviews does Yelp accept? The Yelp review filter is built to make sure reviews are as unbiased and organic as possible.
Make the effort to engage with your customers on Yelp.
