Description: YELP Yelp November 10, 2025

Yelp Inc. (NYSE:YELP) operates a consumer-facing platform that links users with local businesses across a broad set of categories-restaurants, retail, health, automotive, real estate, and more-both in the United States and internationally. The company monetizes through a mix of free listings and paid advertising products (cost-per-click, multi-location ads, and the RepairPal network), as well as subscription-based front-of-house tools such as Yelp Guest Manager for reservations, wait-list, and staffing management. Additional revenue streams include the Yelp Fusion Insights analytics suite, API licensing (free basic data, paid enterprise access), and content licensing agreements, all sold via a direct sales force, partner channels, and its website/app. A notable partnership with Grubhub enables users to place pickup and delivery food orders directly through Yelp.

Key recent metrics (FY 2023) show total revenue of roughly $1.0 billion, with advertising contributing about 85 % and the Guest Manager subscription segment growing at a 30 % annual rate. Monthly active users (MAUs) exceeded 150 million, reflecting a 12 % YoY increase driven by higher mobile engagement. The local-search advertising market is expanding at an estimated 8-10 % CAGR, buoyed by continued consumer shift toward online discovery and the macro-economic trend of discretionary spending rebounding after the pandemic downturn. However, Yelp’s exposure to small-business ad budgets makes it sensitive to any slowdown in consumer confidence.

If you want a deeper, data-driven valuation perspective, ValueRay’s analyst notes and scenario models provide a useful next step for assessing Yelp’s upside potential.
