Question

If you relinquish control over your business listing will any reviews posted by others on your listing be removed as well?

Community Answer

No. You can relinquish control of your Yelp business account, but you cannot remove your business listing from Yelp. The only way that Yelp business owners have gotten listings removed is through lawsuits against Yelp.

Question

What do you mean when you say we can close the account and have everything including reviews removed, but not the listing?

You cannot remove a business listing from Yelp unless the business has closed, or unless you file a lawsuit against Yelp.
