How to use the Yell app like a local pro?
1. Start with the job, not the business name
Open the Yell app and search by need: “boiler repair”, “dog boarding”, “Indian takeaway”, “driving instructor”. The Yell app is built for local services, so category searches beat guessing the company name.
2. Filter by reviews, distance and relevance
Sort results by relevance, rating or distance. Read recent Yell community reviews before calling. The Yell app shows ratings and reviewer content so you can avoid silent phones and stale listings.
3. Check the listing details before tapping call

Good Yell app listings include:
•phone number
•full address
•directions
•opening hours
•photos and videos
•review count and rating
If opening hours are missing, call from the Yell app instead of travelling.
4. Save repeat trades to favourites
Save your go-to electrician, cleaner, gardener, taxi firm or takeaway. The Yell app keeps favourite services close so you are not re-searching every time.
5. Use map view for “near me” jobs
Tap map view when you are out and about. The Yell app plots the closest matches, which is ideal for parking, taxis, cafés, garages and urgent repairs.
6. Leave honest reviews after the job
The Yell app makes it easy to rate and review businesses. Your review helps the next person choose a trustworthy local pro.
7. Post an enquiry instead of cold-calling
On Yell.com you can share job details and connect with suitable businesses. For mobile use, open the Yell app, find shortlisted traders, check reviews, then call the best match. Yell’s consumer marketplace is built for “find, connect and book” local services.
