Google's results are better than yelps. As soon as that isn't true, I'll download yelp again.

  Interesting. I started using Yelp specifically because Google's results are awful especially around the DC area. Grade inflation is prevalent on every platform except yelp, at least from my experience. I haven't seen any formal research on it and would love to see something confirming or refuting my hunch, but my experience has consistently held that Yelp reviewers are picky almost to a fault--useful when deciding whether I want a solid experience vs. an exceptional one.

    Which platform is better varies by city, I've found.

      Someone should make a meta-service which searches different review sites depending on where you're searching and what you're looking for.

  Exactly and why Yelp is lower down. Where it should be. Instead of Yelp b*tching on 60 minutes they should fix the service and then they would be higher on search. It is how it works.

    No it isn’t. Google can chose to put anyone’s reviews in first position arbitrarily (as a featured result).

      Not how it works. There is an algorithm. It is why even though Amazon is a big competitor they have one of the first links when buying something.

        They can feature what they want above the organic search results.
