There are different patterns that can be used to make Y e l p reviews stick. This is one pattern that seems to work more than 95% of the time to get a review to stick on the target business.
- Use a GMail account.
- Leave two reviews on Google maps for unrelated businesses, such as fast food (McDonalds, Taco Bell), grocery stores (Albertsons, Vons), department stores (Macys, Pennys), or other major corporate businesses.
- Wait until the Gmail account is at least 35 days old and it has been at least six days since the Maps reviews have been left.
- Leave two reviews on Y e l p for unrelated businesses that were not previously reviewed.
- Wait a week.
- Leave a Y e l p review for a hotel within 200 miles of the target business.
- Wait two to three days.
- Leave Y e l p reviews for three businesses near the hotel (department store, restaurant, amusement park, etc.) One of the reviews should be between 2 and 4 stars.
- Wait a week.
- Leave a Y e l p review for unrelated businesses, such as fast food (McDonalds, Taco Bell), grocery stores (Albertsons, Vons), department stores (Macys, Pennys), or other major corporate businesses.
