While this may be a good estimate, what about businesses not on Yelp?
"Professional Piano tuner" doesn't seem the most technologically advanced profession, so I think it's safe to assume that there are several, if not dozens more in existence in the NY area.
- potatolicious 14y agoYelp's database is largely user-driven - businesses do not have to be hip to technology to appear there. The presence of a business on Yelp speaks more to the technological savviness of its customer demographic than the business itself. That said, I actually know a piano mover in NYC and he's not on Yelp, or any website. His business is very much conducted via word of mouth and physical exchange of business cards.
- ambiate 14y agoThis is correct. In my town, there are four used game stores. Two of these stores do not exist online in any shape or form (One locally owned, one a subsidiary of game exchange). Searching for a seamstress in my town turns up a few results for dry cleaners. A look on craigslist returns a much larger result.
