In brief

What this company does

It also generates revenue through subscription services, licensing payments for access to Yelp data, and transactions and other non-advertising arrangements. Its advertising products allow businesses to promote themselves in sponsored search results on the platform, on the Yelp pages of businesses in the same or related categories, and in other key locations, sold primarily through a cost-per-click auction system. Yelp was incorporated in Delaware on September 3, 2004.

Written from the business description in YELP INC.'s annual report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, filed 27 February 2026. Every sentence was checked against that document before publication.

The 16-year record
16 fiscal years
Every figure from documents filed with the SEC · USD

EPS, diluted, dividend per share and shares outstanding are shown without shading, and a vertical line marks the year the share count changed — the series crosses a large, unexplained change in share count, so the years on either side are not on a comparable scale.
