Code:
[URL='SITE_URL']SITE_NAME[/URL] TYPE [[URL='YELP_URL']Yelp | [URL='MAPS_URL']Map[/URL]]
- SITE_URL is the URL of the location's website, if they have one. If they don't, use the Yelp link.
- SITE_NAME is the name of the place
- TYPE is something descriptive of the venue's genre, if applicable. Like for a restaurant, it'd be the type of food; for a music club, the style of music.
- YELP_URL is the URL for the spot's Yelp review page. Yelp sets up a different page for different locations, so make sure you grab the right one.
- MAPS_URL is a Google Maps link.
Code:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/
Example: the address "123 Any St, Portland, OR 97215" would end up looking like:
