YELP INC YELP
Since Yelp's founding over 20 years ago, our mission has remained the same — to connect consumers with great local businesses. Over that time, we have built one of the best known Internet brands in the United States. Consumers trust us for the more than 300 million ratings and reviews available on our platform of businesses across a broad range of categories. This consumer trust is the foundation of our business, from which we are able to empower other businesses to succeed. Our advertising products help businesses of all sizes reach a large audience, advertise their products and drive conversion of their services, while our subscription services support businesses operationally.
Our performance in 2025 — which included record annual revenue and profitable growth — demonstrates the profitability of our broad-based local advertising platform. For a discussion of our results for the year ended December 31, 2025, see the section titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included under Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report.
