Yelp (recrawl Google/Bing)
-
If Google and Bing show an older version of a site's Yelp rating in the search results, what options are there to help ensure Google and Bing recrawl the Yelp page?
Additionally, it appears third-party sites such as MapQuest show Yelp ratings and appear in Google search results; is it possible to request MapQuest to recrawl Yelp and then ask Google to recrawl MapQuest?
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Howdy Mack_,
We get this a lot working with our clients, and unfortunately I'm not aware of a way to force more rapid recrawling of Yelp pages directly. However, we've had success doing the following:
- Make sure your site links to your Yelp page and resubmit your website via Google Search Console - good chance Google will crawl outside your website to hit that Yelp page.
- Add unique content to the Yelp profile - just adding some fresh photos and content could make your listing more search-valuable.
- Campaign for more reviews! Yelp has a crawl budget just like your website, so more valuable content will take priority for both Yelp and Google.
Hope that helps!
Thanks!
Mike

Question on Google's Differentiation
Hi everyone, We have a short question that probably has a very long answer: What are all the ways that Google differentiates one search result from another? This is really important for us to know and, up until now, we can't find a really good and complete source that explains this. Thank you in advance.
