Your internet connection may be weak or unstable, causing issues with the Yelp for Business app or website.

The first thing that you should do is open another website on your device. If it’s working alright, your internet connection is fine, and the problem is on Yelp’s side.

If the other website is not opening, you must recheck your internet connection or WiFi router. First, you should contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and confirm any internet outages in your area.

After you have confirmed no outages, check your router and cables. Read more about what to do if the WiFi is not working properly.
