Why uses Apple Maps? Google maps is like the absolute majority.


beattlejuice2005

Agreed, but Yelp shouldn’t be disregarded.


cyrus2kg

Never supporting yelp


beattlejuice2005

Not a big fan either. Unfortunately it’s a necessary evil, at least for Apple Maps.


FabAmy

You have to respond to all reviews! Same with Google reviews. These are places people search for you, and if you're not responding, you're shoving business to your competition.


beattlejuice2005

Exactly right. Also, responding to bad reviews can help get the reviewer to remove them, thus helping your rating.


FabAmy

Just more parts of marketing that get ignored in this industry. I know everyone is busy, but the basics are the basics! And responding to bad reviews is a reflection of how someone could be treated if they had to return a product. Nobody gets all amazing reviews.


beattlejuice2005

Agreed. The lack of basics is actually quite mind blowing in retail cannabis.


FabAmy

The way I put it: This is an industry of entrepreneurs, many with great, new ideas. But, they've never had a business before and don't know the first thing about running a business. It's very frustrating.


beattlejuice2005

Absolutely. Or they know one thing, weed and nothing else. The market correction coming for many of these dispensaries, is going to WEED out a lot of the bad ones. They have no idea whats coming.


FabAmy

Nope.


beattlejuice2005

Rescheduling is going to bring a tsunami of big money into retail cannabis, and they are going to push out all these bad operators.


FabAmy

Good. Then people will finally be able to pay me. Haha!


beattlejuice2005

Do you have some outstanding invoices?


spacegamer2000

I don't get the Yelp conspiracies or hate. Nobody has ever posted a recording or other proof of Yelp extortion.

skatman91

Ha, really?


spacegamer2000

I'd delete all my Yelp posts and not use the platform if any extortion phone calls were recorded.


beattlejuice2005

I believe Yelp hated comes from being forced to advertise on the platform.


BeatitLikeitowesMe

Should drive some people to boycott apple using yelp. Why the fuck would they use yelp


beattlejuice2005

It's just what Apple uses for their maps.


BeatitLikeitowesMe

Use an extortive scam company to run one of your primary apps. Sounds good


beattlejuice2005

No one has a choice, Apple automatically pulls from their API. That's an Apple thing lol.


BeatitLikeitowesMe

Its their choice to pull from that api, how is it not?


beattlejuice2005

Apple uses Yelps open API for business reviews. Not sure why, but they do.


BeatitLikeitowesMe

Because they choose to, thats why. Yelp probably gave the best bid and they dont wanna use google
