Yelp is releasing a new feature with the simple, self-explanatory name Questions and Answers.<\/p>\n

Well, mostly<\/em> self-explanatory. This is distinct from Talk<\/a>, a feature where Yelp users can ask an incredibly broad range of questions (as I write this, the New York page currently includes conversations about the travel time to the airport, when it\u2019s legal to kick out a roommate and The Bachelorette<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Instead, these are questions and answers tied to a specific venue, a focus that could make this stand out from other QA products. For example, you could ask how long visitors normally stay at the Kennedy Space Center<\/a> or if a bar allows dogs<\/a> or about pricing at a tattoo parlor<\/a>, then get answers from other users, or from the business owner themselves.<\/p>\n

Users can upvote and downvote the answers based on how helpful they are, and they can also sign up for notifications whenever a specific question gets answered.<\/p>\n

Product Manager Brian Boshes described this as \u201cgreat, Yelp-y content\u201d that can help people find the information that\u2019s important to them (which might be mentioned in some reviews, but could be tough to find). He also noted that this is a \u201cpotentially limitless way\u201d for someone who\u2019s a supporter or fan of a business to stay engaged with their Yelp page \u2014 they can\u2019t keep posting reviews, but they can keep answering questions.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Boshes said this provides valuable data for Yelp about what users are looking for. If people keep asking about something (say, the kid-friendliness of a restaurant), then maybe it\u2019s time for Yelp to add that as a piece of information in every profile.<\/p>\n

Yelp ran a limited pilot of this feature late last year and is now rolling it out nationwide on iPhone, Android and desktop. You\u2019ll see the QA section pop in above the review section of Yelp profiles.<\/p>\n
