Yelp is more than just a user-review aggregator for restaurants and services; it's a community. You can

find and friend people who share similar tastes

and interests as you or go searching for your real-world friends to see what they think.

You can cut through the noise on Yelp by

adding specific filters to your searches

. This way, you'll receive only the results you want with none of the irrelevant stuff vying for your attention. Filter by star rating, distance from your current locations, by cuisine type and more.

While Yelp lets you search and browse user reviews without requiring sign up, you get more targeted results if you've signed up for an account. You can

search by business category and by highest rated

. You can even filter by specific neighborhood or search for a specific franchise or location.

Yelp runs on recommendations from real people. It's different from sites that offer user reviews in that you know exactly who the review is coming from. Trusted Yelp members have a significant influence over which services other Yelp users choose. The first step to becoming a reviewer that cuts through the noise is to fill out your

Yelp profile

to tell people what you're all about.

The first step in

finding the best restaurants, the best hairstylists, even the best dentist or mechanic

is signing up for your own Yelp account. A simple signup and you're ready to start finding your friends' faves and even make recommendations of your own.
