How do I add a question to the Ask the Community section of a business page?

If you have a question about a specific business, you may ask the Yelp community (including the business owner if they've claimed their page) in the Ask the Community section. This option may not appear on business pages that don’t have enough activity to suggest your question is likely to get a response.

Please keep our Content Guidelines in mind before you submit a question. You'll need to be signed up with Yelp and logged in to your account in order to ask a question. Instructions on how to post answers can be found separately.

Note: business owners can only submit answers and cannot post questions.

Instructions for:

• Website (www.yelp.com)
• iPhone/iPad

Tips for submitting a good question

• Before you ask a question, read the others to make sure you're not repeating something that's been asked/answered before.
• Keep questions useful, appropriate and specific to the business page you're posting on. For example, "Are they able to make menu changes to accommodate dietary restrictions?"
• If you have a question that is highly individual or personal rather than applicable for a broader audience, look for the option to message the business directly instead
