Bakersfield.com

Bakersfield.com’s new Inside Guide allows people to rate and review their favorite local businesses. The initial version of The Guide is focused on dining, with more categories available soon.

Did you know that 79% of people said they have been influenced by an online rating or review, according to a recent Harris poll? You can take advantage of this trend by building awareness of your business through the Inside Guide.

By claiming your profile, you can enhance it for free by adding a description of your business, operating hours, your web address and more.

You’ll also be able to post responses to community reviews to thank customers for their praise or respond to reviews you consider to be unfair.

To claim your free profile, you’ll need to first become a registered user of Bakersfield.com. If you’ve already registered for our site as an individual, you’ll need to complete a separate registration for your business. Registration is free—click here to get started.

We also offer ways to advertise your profile on Bakersfield.com, Kern County’s No. 1 web site. Prices start at $35 per month. Please e-mail insideguide@bakersfield.com to request additional information.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you on the Inside Guide!
