Yelp has been a critic of Google for a while.
Yelpfrequently complainsabout how the search giant treats other companies in its results.
However, this is the first time Yelp has gone so far as to sue Google.
This decision has made it possible for other companies to file similar lawsuits against Google.
According to Yelp, this has hurt the company’s ability to compete for traffic and revenue.
Google, on the other hand, denies these allegations.

Google argues that Yelp’s claims are not new and have been previously rejected by regulators.
Based on this, Yelp has strong grounds to question Google’s ethics.
If Google is purposefully prioritizing itself, it may be a conflict of interest.
Still, Yelp has to prove that’s the case.
