Plain steps: Locations, Yelp URL or id, sync, API limits on review text, and replying on Yelp until full Partner posting is available.

How to Connect Yelp to GoodRep: Step by Step for Beginners

This guide assumes you already have a GoodRep account. Yelp is added inside GoodRep by business URL or id, not with the same “Connect” OAuth button used for Google or Facebook. Once added, Yelp stars and recent excerpts show in the same inbox as your other platforms.

For Facebook Pages, see How to Connect Facebook to GoodRep. If Google is not connected yet, start at goodrep.io/app with Connect Google. For claiming a listing from scratch, see Where to Set Up Your Business Online.


What you need first

A claimed Yelp listing. Claim or create it at biz.yelp.com if you have not already.

Your Yelp URL or business id. On yelp.com, open the public business page. Copy the full browser URL (for example https://www.yelp.com/biz/your-business-name-city). The id is often the part after /biz/.


Add Yelp in GoodRep

Step 1: Open Locations

In the app, go to Locations at goodrep.io/app/locations.

Step 2: Add the Yelp business

Use add location or add Yelp (labels match the live dashboard). Paste the Yelp URL or enter the Yelp business id when prompted.

URL tip. Prefer a normal desktop link, not a shortened or tracking-heavy mobile share link, unless the form says otherwise.

Id tip. If the field wants an id, use the same slug you see after /biz/ in the Yelp URL.

Step 3: Save

Save the new location so GoodRep stores the Yelp link.

Step 4: Sync

Run Sync now on the main dashboard, or wait for the scheduled daily sync.

Step 5: Know what appears in GoodRep

Yelp’s public API only allows up to three of the most recent review text excerpts per business, plus summary rating data. That is not your full Yelp history inside GoodRep. It is still enough to spot new activity and stars next to Google and Facebook.

Replies. Posting to Yelp from GoodRep works only when Yelp Partner-style posting is available for your account. For many businesses today, open Yelp in a browser and reply there for full-length Yelp conversations. GoodRep remains useful to see Yelp signals in one inbox.


If something goes wrong

The form rejects the URL. Confirm the listing is claimed on Yelp, copy the address bar from a regular browser tab, and strip extra parameters if you pasted from email or ads.

Only two or three reviews show. That matches Yelp’s API limits. It is expected, not a failed sync.


The Bottom Line

Add Yelp under Locations with a correct URL or id, save, Sync now, expect up to three recent excerpts in-app, and plan Yelp-native replies until full reply posting is connected for your setup.
