Yelp Ads API - How do I connect to this service?
First, you will need to reach out to your Yelp representative and ask them to share Reporting API credentials with you. Once those have been shared with you, you can enter them into your TapClicks Dashboard to connect.
You will also need the business aliases that you would like to track in your dashboard. To find your business aliases, go to the Yelp Page of the business. In your URL bar, the business alias is after the last slash. For example, in the URL below, the business alias is ‘tapclicks-san-jose’

What if I need data from Yelp Ads that TapClicks doesn’t quite support?
There are a few ways to approach this situation.
1] Create a Smart Connector to bring data into your dashboard.
- This will allow you to get to your data fast.
- This path could be used in the long term.
- Or you can use this path while waiting for an enhancement to the Yelp Ads connector.
2] Submit a request to the product team to evaluate bringing this data into the Instant On connector.
- Make sure to include report extract examples so that we can review exactly the dimensions and metrics you’re looking for in your dashboard.
- If you need help with this process, feel free to reach out to your Customer Success Manager or customercare@tapclicks.com.
