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.
Hey Team,
Really appreciate what you’ve built here—this is a super cool product! 👏
I actually explored a similar idea as a POC using the Google Places API along with some external scraping tools, and came to a similar conclusion that it’s possible to generate a one-page website based on review data. However, during my initial R&D, I realized there are some limitations around Google’s Terms of Service Violation, which made me pause and rethink the approach. (To be honest, I lost some motivation after that)
That said, it’s genuinely inspiring to see how you’ve brought this idea to life. I might revisit something along these lines in the future, probably with a different approach and at a smaller scale.
Great work again—excited to see where you take this! 🚀

Congrats with the launch! Really liked the product, I think small cafés, restaurants without a dev team can really benefit.
Brila
@ekulianova thank you! Would love to see your examples 👀
Brila
@ekulianova I hope so. In other words, I don't recall any small cafe or restaurant with a dedicated dev team, so we have a chance, haha.
Cool! The JTBD angle actually fits here. It does not feel bolted on as usually
Brila
@vladimir_solovev Yeah, it's a separate skill to do JTBD research. My favorite book is User Research by Rosenfeld Media. The author charges $1,000 a day for doing it right. Our initial thought was to automate him.

There is something very real about turning word of mouth into web copy

@maksim_mamchur Well said! That could be our subtitle.

This is very much for the "great business, bad website" crowd
Brila
@olya_vasilevskaya That's the neatest definition of the target audience in the history of marketing.

@svyat_dvoretski While this MVP is based strictly on Google Maps, the next step is adding more sources of information, including interviewing owners and research and competition. We care about your needs too, Sviatoslav.

@maria_anosova thank you, Maria. Exactly, that's what I've been fighting for many years.

@maria_anosova Thanks Maria! Trust is the foundation - and real reviews are the best trust signal out there. 🙌

@paul_malaj That's true.
The main thing is that the reviews are genuine (sometimes they're fake).
