--- title: Randy's Crematorium & Pizza Parlor — How I Deleted My Yelp Business Listing author: George Mandis date: 2017-02-08 description: Deleting your Yelp business listing is hard, but I found a much more fun way. tags: post --- Nearly ten years ago I created a listing on Yelp for my [web development and consulting business](https://snaptortoise.com). In that time I've received no work through that avenue and had largely forgotten it existed save the few times I thought to update my logo there, the address as I moved and some other things here in there. I've had a very similar relationship with my properties on Google+ and LinkedIn. Don't get me wrong — Yelp is great for a more traditional brick & mortar business I think, but it doesn't make a lot of sense for a consultant. So I decided to bite the bullet and delete it last summer. As it turns out you [can't.](https://www.yelp-support.com/article/Can-I-remove-my-business-page-from-Yelp?l=en_US). And, despite Yelp's reasoning, that's bullshit. So I did the next best thing and changed and changed all of the relevant information for my business. Thus, [Randy's Pizza Parlor & Crematorium](https://www.yelp-support.com/article/Can-I-remove-my-business-page-from-Yelp?l=en_US) was born. ![Randy's Pizza Parlor & Crematorium](https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/george.mand.is/images/randys-pizza-parlor-and-crematorium.png) Companies should always let you delete your data, and if they don't I think we have moral obligation to make that data as useless as possible in protest.
