Plan your review. Do the requested research of the business, to ensure the business is already on the site. If not, you'll have to add the business to its database.
Read through some of the other reviews of the business on its business listing on Yelp. Take mental notes of the star ratings and the equivalence of others' ideas in their reviews.
Click the red "Write a Review" button. This button is located to the right of the business name and, average rating and category. When the page begins to load, you'll see some other text-boxes appear.
Select a rating for your overall experience of the company. Use the scale they give you (the ratings range between 1 star and 5 stars). Your review won't be allowed to be posted until you rate the business with your review.
Understand the star ratings. To help you out, as you hover over the rating box, there will be several words that will help you explain your rating. Click the star-rating you believe should best match the conditions of your upcoming review. The ratings are as follows: 1-star: Eek! Methinks not! 2-star: Meh! I've experienced better. 3-star: A-Ok. 4-star: Yay! I'm a fan. 5-star: Woohoo! As good as it gets!
Write your review, based on the rating you gave it. Below the rating, you'll find a place to write a text-based review-box. They are quite generous now, and aren't counting characters now. However, reviews used to contain up to 5001 characters. Think about the answers to the following few questions when writing the review, thinking to answer the overall "why do you think this way" question. How was the overall experience? How was the atmosphere? Were the waiters cleanly dressed and well-mannered? Were the ticket booths adequately stocked? Were the restrooms clean? For transportation items (bridges and tunnel systems leading up to the business): Was the road you traveled on well maintained? You may review interstates where two interstates intersect at a junction including an interstate spur route. As you read other reviews, you'll find that experienced writers get good "compliments" on these key points, as well as many other things that may not appear on the list at all. Don't be too harsh––be fair in your opinion and believe in what you write - because other people will believe in what you've written - as the Yelp policy pages describe.
