(Reuters) – Facebook has quietly debuted a feature on its social networking site that helps users find local businesses based on customer reviews, bringing it in direct competition with similar services from Yelp and Angie’s List.
The feature was first spotted by a tech blog. Facebook has not made a public announcement of the feature.
The webpage for the new feature, which reads “Find local businesses with the best Facebookreviews and ratings”, can be accessed here.
Facebook, which allows businesses to create pages on its site, has a section on such pages that enables users to post and read reviews.
Companies such as Yelp (YELP) and Angie’s List (ANGI) are known for similar services that allow users to find and rate restaurants and a variety of other businesses.
Facebook (FB) did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
