Find and Support Women-Owned Businesses With Yelp
Yelp makes it easy to find and support women-owned businesses. To mark Women’s Story Month this month, the site launched the Women Owned Business attribute, which emphasizes when women owned businesses.
The shortcut appears in the “More Company Information” section on the right side of the company page – the same place where you can find out if the location has bike parking, if credit cards are accepted, or if appointments are required.
Unfortunately, it looks like you can’t search specifically for women-owned businesses using the site’s filters, as you can search for places with Wi-Fi and take orders, so you’ll have to select a place and then see if it is owned by a woman. and not vice versa.
Women-owned businesses can add a designation to their business page by logging into their Yelp dashboard . Companies owned by women can also order a window sticker through Yelp to display on their storefront.
If you specifically want to find a business, women-owned, the site ” Women belonging ” can also be a great resource for this. This site allows you to search for women-owned businesses by name or category. It’s not the best option for finding a local café, but it can help you discover women-owned businesses that you might not even know existed.
