Yelp is offering a new cost-per-click (CPC) program bundled with its enhanced listing option. To be clear, the ability to bid on a CPC basis isn’t new, but this new program includes a discount bundle with some enhanced features.
These programs are offered on a 6- or 12-month initial term. If you cancel prior to the end of your contract, there is an early termination fee equal to one month’s maximum charge ($200).
