Hey there!
First off thank you. With your support, Brila became Product of the Day, Product of the Week, and #1 Product of the Month here on Product Hunt.
Since then, people from all over the world have generated over 5,000 sites with Brila and the most requested feature by far was more review sources.
So here it is: you can now use your Yelp reviews, not just Google Maps.
Quick recap: Brila writes website copy only from what your real customers said no invented claims, no generic filler. Yelp matters if you run a restaurant, salon, or local service where customers write there more than on Google. Those reviews are often longer and more specific which means better raw material: what people actually praise, in their own words, becomes your headlines and copy.
Btw, from what we've seen so far, photos on Yelp tend to be better than on Google Maps both in quality and quantity. So sites built from Yelp often just look better, too.
To try it, paste your business link on Yelp as a source when creating a website.
Feels strong for businesses that know customers love them but cannot really say why

@_lynx thank you!
Brila
@_lynx Absolutely, thank you. As a business owner who performs the customer research, I never had a study that didn't surprise me.
Nice idea, going to test this on my uncle’s photography shop. Curious to see how the reviews shape the story.
Brila
@vlasiszacharis thanks! Please share the result with us, we are very curious to see what you got
Brila
@vlasiszacharis Now I'm curious to. any insights you didn't expect?
Hi Brila team! Congrats on the launch! 🚀
I signed up and tried creating a website for a nearby shopping center, it actually looks quite presentable.
Considering that many local shops and small businesses don’t even have websites (just social media), this is really cool. Thanks for the great idea!
Brila
@julia_zakharova2 thanks Julia! Yes, that's the point! Would love to see what you got!
Brila
@julia_zakharova2 Thanks for your warm words and thank you for trying. I wonder if your website for your nearby shopping center will index in Google and appear in the search results.
Maybe we can give websites even to the businesses that don't want it.
@visualpharm Wow! What a turn of events! This is honestly a whole new level. I will definitely recommend you to small businesses
Brila
@julia_zakharova2 Thank you, our dear evangelist. Appreciate it.

Hey, congrats on the launch!
I tested Brila at my favorite restaurant, just dropped the Google Maps link. The site nailed everything I love about the place. The best dishes, the atmosphere.
The photo selection could use an aesthetics filter.
But the core idea is brilliant. Someone finally built something genuinely different from every other AI website builder out there. Real content from real people, not template filler.
Good luck!
Brila
@julia_sa That's a great idea about prioritizing the quality, photos. Thank you!
So glad the multilingual part clicked! About editing, yeah, we went back and forth on this a lot. We wanted it to be flexible but also make sure you can't accidentally break your site. That's why it feels a bit rigid right now. Custom sections and a more free-form editor are coming though 👍

Congrats on the launch and I love the landing pages! Curious about two things:
1) How do you plan on allowing more customization to the site by the business owners?
2) Do you plan on offering an API for developers to get the "special touches" of the business offered?
Cool stuff and will follow along!
Insanely creative; nice work! I'm always a bit skeptical of restaurants that don't have web presence - hopefully this can help bridge that gap for restaurant owners.
Brila
@youmeapps thank you Alex! That's exactly the gap we're going after haha
Brila
@youmeapps Right! Maybe we should replace Linktree in the social media profiles.
