AddressReport shared their results with us based on tests they&#8217;ve been running as early partners in the program: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Monday, July 21 &#8211; Monday, Sept 8 (7 week period prior to Yelp integration): 2.4 percent of users who viewed an address report engaged with that report&#8217;s &#8220;Life&#8221; section.<\/li>\n<li>Monday, Sept 15 &#8211; Monday, Nov 3 (7 week period post Yelp integration): 9.4 percent of users who viewed an address report engaged with that report&#8217;s Yelp-powered &#8220;Life&#8221; section.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s an engagement lift of 292 percent. Wow. That&#8217;s called proof in the pudding. You&#8217;ll soon see this kind of data feeding other sites, and we suspect engagement will improve just as AddressReport saw. <\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Yelp said they are &#8220;committed to providing a robust and unparalleled local search experience via the Yelp API. Our goal is to make sure that every developer can get what they need in terms of local search and data to build, launch, and improve their apps. Whether tinkering with a side project, launching a new startup, scaling a company, or working at a large public company, Yelp will be a resource for all developers. In addition, for those who would love to use Yelp content but may not have the technical prowess to build something from scratch, don\u2019t worry. We will be launching &#8216;off the shelf&#8217; tools so that anyone can get the Yelp data they need to power their experiences.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Consumers&#8217; thirst for data<\/h2>\n<p>Consumers are thirsty for data, but more importantly, they&#8217;re desperate for data that is integrated and easy to view. Aesthetics matter, and their first two showcase partners prove how it can be done well. Yelp will be opening up the program slowly and adding more developers throughout the year, so if your brokerage or brand is interested, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/developers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Yelp Developers Site<\/a> or send your tech team there to find out how to get your hands on this data*. To use a tired cliche, this raises the bar, and we suspect that consumers will come to expect this feature when searching for real estate. <\/p>\n<p>*<em>We invite you to <a href=\"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/tipsters\/\" title=\"contact us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">reach out to us<\/a> if your company will become an API partner.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yelp has a new API that data-hungry real estate practitioners and consumers will want to get their hands on when they see the power of the information now available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":335814,"featured_media":3502,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[91],"tags":[517,99,100,627,518],"class_list":["post-3501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-big-data","tag-addressreport","tag-breaking-news","tag-hot-stories","tag-trulia","tag-yelp"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/01\/yelp-api-header.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/335814"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3501"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3501\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4552,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3501\/revisions\/4552"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
