To better compete, Yelp is spending more on marketing, adding mobile features, and pushing into new countries.

Online review website Yelp Inc. said second-quarter sales beat analysts’ estimates, as an expansion into new regions helped widen its user base. Revenue rose 67 percent to $32.7 million. It lost $1.98 million, or 3 cents a share. Analysts were projecting a loss of 5 cents. Yelp expanded into eight new markets in the quarter, including Finland and Norway.
