Yelp Adding Tool To Make It Easier To Find Black-Owned Businesses
|
I wonder if this is another one of those 4chan trolls?
'Cuz I don't think that this will have the effect that they are hoping for.
Get ready to hear the phrase "Yelp-lining".
[Mashable] Yelp co-founder and CEO Jeremy Stoppelman announced that the app will launch a searchable attribute so businesses can identify themselves as black-owned, making it easier for customers to find them. The attribute will be opt-in so only businesses who want to proclaim they're black-owned can do so.
Stoppelman explained that in the past week, Yelp saw 25x increase in the amount of searches for black-owned business across a variety of industries compared to this time last year. Yelp's Curation team will create Collections of black-owned businesses across the country in the meantime before the tool is ready to launch in two weeks.
If businesses want to let customers know they're black-owned in-person, Yelp created black-owned business decals in February 2020 for Black History Month.
In addition to this new feature, the Yelp Foundation will donate $500,000 to the Equal Justice Initiative and NAACP Legal Defense Fund. The foundation also moved up their matching cap to $10,000 and will double match employee donations to a variety of black organizations such as Black Futures Lab.
