    "This year has been marked by an accelerated pace of product innovation at Yelp," said Craig Saldanha, chief product officer at Yelp. "By using AI to harness Yelp's vast amount of trusted user-generated content, in 2024 we've rolled out more than 80 new features that enhance the consumer and business owner experience. Our end-of-year product release highlights how Yelp is simplifying the way users discover and connect with local businesses with new AI-powered features like Review Insights that provide a shortcut to the information consumers care about most. We're looking forward to continuing this momentum into the new year, with even more updates for consumers and business owners to come."

    AI-enhanced local business discovery

    Yelp introduced new and improved ways to discover, learn about, and connect with local businesses with new features across the home feed and business pages on Yelp.

    • AI-powered Review Insights: New Review Insights use large language models to analyze and summarize reviewer sentiment on various aspects of a business, such as food quality, service, and ambiance. Insights are displayed above a business's reviews as aggregated sentiment scores for each topic—positive, neutral, and critical—ranging from 1 to 100. Users can also explore related reviews for each topic. Review Insights are available on iOS for restaurant, food, and nightlife businesses.
    • Personalized home feed: New updates to Yelp's home feed on iOS help consumers better discover new and relevant businesses. The home feed now features new content types, such as user videos, reviews, trending searches, hot & new businesses, and more. In the coming weeks, Yelp will roll out an AI-powered update that better tailors a user's home feed to their preferences.
    • More Recognitions in more places: Consumers can now find a user's Recognitions alongside their reviews on business pages, helping users identify when reviews are written by passionate contributors in business categories they're interested in. Recognitions have also expanded to include 220 additional home services, beauty, and active life categories and are available on iOS and desktop with Android coming early next year.
    • Tipping business attributes: To provide transparency around tipping, Yelp introduced eight new business attributes that inform users about an establishment's tipping and payment policies. New attributes include whether the business has a "no tipping" policy, if tipping is optional, if gratuity is automatically applied to the bill, and more.

    Streamlined hiring experience for consumers and service pros

    Leveraging AI, Yelp enhanced the services experience to simplify connections between consumers and service pros.

    • Enhanced Yelp Assistant refines pro communication with project editing and broadcasting: Yelp Assistant, an AI chatbot that connects you with pros, now supports text and call requests from service pros on iOS, while masking the consumer's phone number for their privacy. Users can also find Yelp Assistant through new conversational prompts on search results pages on iOS in addition to the Projects tab across all platforms. Additionally, new project editing and broadcasting makes it easy to edit and automatically relay revised project details to multiple services pros at once for the most accurate quotes.
    • Request a Quote integration on Apple Maps: Yelp's Request a Quote is now integrated with Apple Maps, allowing users to request quotes from local professionals across home, local, auto, professional, and events categories. Consumers can find a new "Quote" button on Apple Maps business pages, which directs them to Request a Quote for that business in the Yelp iOS app.
    • AI-enhanced business owner inbox: In the coming weeks, service professionals will have an enhanced inbox that will help them manage leads more efficiently with redesigned job cards that feature AI-powered summaries, highlighting crucial job information for easy evaluation.

    Simplified ad setup and optimization for business owners

    Continuing its commitment to helping business owners grow and succeed, Yelp introduced new features to better streamline ad setup and strengthen ad performance.

    • Smart selection: The new AI-powered smart selection helps Yelp advertisers automatically test the best reviews and photos to showcase, optimizing their ads for the highest return on ad spend. This free feature is available to all Yelp advertisers.
    • New competitive insights and enhanced support: A new competitor measurement tool on the Yelp for Business homepage allows business owners to compare their Yelp page performance with up to three competitors of their choice, helping better inform their growth strategies. Additionally, Yelp's ​​new ad budget options allow seasonal advertisers to temporarily reduce their ad spend with automatic restarts whenever it's most convenient to them.
