Yelp Search Provider Guidelines​

Star Sprites​

For any business that comes from Yelp, the Yelp-branded start sprint must be used when representing a Yep rating. Generic stars are not permitted.

Additionally, any business that comes from the Yelp must have an associated rating star display.

For more context, visit Yelp's Brand Guidelines

Anywhere the Yelp logo is used should use the Yelp-approved assets. You can download the assets below or find them at Yelp's Brand Guidelines web page.

Any time a search bar is used to search for businesses, a 'powered by Yelp' sub tag is suggested. See below an example of this inegration in giftcardmarket.com.

If there is a desire to exclude the Yelp logo, a request for exception should be submitted to The Gift Card Market at support@giftcardmarket.com

Search Results​

Any time business information pulled from the Yelp content provider is displayed, the UI will need to display the yelp logo along with the review sprite (mentioned above). Here are the requirements for displaying this information:

  • The Yelp sprite and logo should be displayed in the vicinity to the business information.
  • The Yelp sprite and logo should link out to that business' Yelp page.
    • The url structure for the business page is yelp.com/biz/{value from the 'alias' parameter in the search api}
      • e.g., yelp.com/biz/last-chair-kitchen-and-bar-whitefish
      • See the Search API Documentation for more information on the parameters returned from the Search API

Other Search Provider Guidelines​

Gift Card Market is working with several search providers that may become available in the near future. As new providers become available, the guidelines for integrating with that content will become available here.
