How do I report substantial business changes?

Learn how to suggest substantial business changes (closures, temporary closures, moves, etc.) below, but please read our guidelines for quality submissions. If you’re reporting simpler business information updates (hours, phone number, etc.), please read our instructions for general business information updates.

Instructions for:

• Website (www.yelp.com)
• iPhone/Android
• Yelp for Business app

When reporting substantial business changes on www.yelp.com, the Yelp App or on the Yelp for Business app, these should be explained in the Additional Context/Notes section at the bottom of the page/app to help our moderators process your request.

Please note that business owners cannot suggest these changes from biz.yelp.com; please use the Yelp for Business app to report substantial business changes or follow the instructions for www.yelp.com below.

2. Click the Suggest an edit link:
