Article: While most users are eligible, there are a few requirements for all elite members. Yelp wants an elite squad that can provide thorough, unbiased reviews. Make sure that all of the following criteria apply to you:  You’re of legal drinking age. You aren’t affiliated with any local businesses. You don’t work for a Yelp competitor. Yelp requires that you use your actual name on your profile if you want to join the elite squad. Being open and honest about your true identity helps users trust your reviews. Enter your real first and last name on your profile page. Only your first name and last initial will show. Posting a photo of yourself helps users identify with you. Additionally, seeing your face next to your review makes you seem more trustworthy. Pick a well-lit photo that shows off your face and your personality. For instance, you might post a photo of you at a music festival or a photo of you on a trail during a hike.
