Customer Loyalty Startup Belly Now Wants to Help Businesses Boost Their Yelp Ratings

Belly, the Chicago-based customer loyalty startup, is expanding its feature set in an attempt to help businesses boost their Yelp ratings. The company works with about 6,000 merchants — the majority of which are small or mid-sized businesses — to help them digitize customer loyalty and rewards programs to make it easier to track loyal customers and analyze which promotions work best.

The company said it is also expanding its Belly Bites free-sampling program.
