Hours of operation and even the services you offer are in a constant state of flux because of the COVID-19 pandemic and your customers are searching for this information on a daily basis. Are they finding accurate information when they visit your Yelp page, or is the information outdated?
There’s never been a better time to claim your Yelp page and ensure it accurately reflects your current business offerings.
