Yelp is making it easier for people to show their support for Asian-owned businesses. Owners can select the "Asian owned" attribute via their Yelp for Business account to update their listing page if they choose. "With this new business attribute, we aim to elevate Asian-owned businesses who strengthen communities across the country and make it easier than ever for consumers to support them," Warren said in the Yelp blog post. Searches on Yelp for Asian-owned businesses in the U.S. surged by 130% in February 2021 compared to the same time period in 2020, Yelp data shows. The "Asian owned" attribute will be available to businesses who choose to update their pages on Tuesday.
