Yelp Deep Link Generator — Open Yelp Links in the App
Paste any Yelp link — business pages and reviews — and get a link that opens the Yelp app instead of a logged-out browser. Free, no signup.
Why Yelp links open in the browser
Social apps like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X and LinkedIn open taps in their own in-app browser. That browser doesn't share the viewer's login, so they land on Yelp logged out — with no saved account, no follow button that works and no one-tap actions.
A plain https link never tells the phone to hand off to the Yelp app. A deep link does: it carries the app's URL scheme and package so the phone can open Yelp directly.

FAQ
How do I make a Yelp link open in the app?
Paste your Yelp link into the generator above to get iOS and Android app links. For click analytics and in-app-browser handling, turn it into a free vayda.link.
What is the Yelp URL scheme?
Yelp uses yelp://. Vayda builds links with the template yelp://{url_no_scheme}.
Why does my Yelp link open in Instagram's browser?
Instagram, TikTok and Facebook open taps in their own in-app browser, which doesn't share the viewer's Yelp login. On Android, a smart link can hand off to the Yelp app. On iPhone, Meta blocks automatic app hand-off for every link tool, so viewers need to tap ••• → Open in external browser.
What happens if the Yelp app isn't installed?
On Android the link falls back to the Yelp web page via browser_fallback_url. On iPhone the link opens the Yelp website or the App Store.
Is the Yelp deep link generator free?
Yes. Generating raw app links is free with no signup. Trackable smart links are free up to 2,000 clicks/month.
