You can connect Yelp with or without a Yelp for Business account. We recommend using your account: it lets Listings claim pages for you and keeps all your pages visible in Yelp for Business.
Connect with your Yelp account (recommended)
Go to Account > Networks and click Connect next to Yelp.
In the Yelp Account window, choose Your Yelp Account, then click + Add Account.
Sign in with your Yelp for Business email and password, click Grant Access, then Next.
Review the results. For each location, choose:
Link if the page is already in your Yelp account
Prelink if the page exists but isn't in your Yelp account
Create if the location has no Yelp page yet
To connect a specific page you already know, choose Link by URL and paste its Yelp address.
What Prelink does
Sometimes a location's Yelp page exists but sits outside the Yelp account you signed in with. Prelink asks Yelp to attach that page to your account.
Using more than one Yelp account
You can add more than one Yelp account. Pick a Default account for new or prelinked pages, or change it for a single page from the Prelink and Create menus. At least one Yelp account must stay connected to continue.
Connect without a Yelp account
No Yelp for Business account? Choose No Yelp Account. Pages are matched and connected without signing in. This option only appears if your account has Listings turned on for Yelp.
Connected, but not showing yet?
Yelp connections can take a few minutes. Check the Linked tab.
