I don't think Yelp selling to another company with an ad business is going to increase trust.

Yelp has a history of salesmen selling business the right to mess with their reviews [1] [2]. I don't love Google, but I'm confident they will end that. (Yelp claims to have ended it already, but they have already lost my trust)
