Yahoo Listings, Managed by Yext
There are hyper local directories as found on networking and chamber websites found in the communities in which we work and play.
In contrast, there are search engine giants that help us find “restaurants near me”, “a/c service”, “auto parts” and “fitness club” as well as provide reviews and ratings. In this article I am going to cover the registration process for Yahoo’s free business listing. Yext.com is managing Yahoo business listings.
For an overview I recommend that you watch Local Marketing Institute’s Eric Shanfelt’s 4 minute video. https://localmarketinginstitute.com/yahoo-free-business-listing

Tip: There are three special components to the Yahoo listing for restaurants. You can specify a link to your menu page, reservation page, and order online page. They present this information nicely to viewers using quick access call out buttons and hyperlinks.
Below is an example of the Order Online call out button. That will enable customers to more easily choose to place an order for pickup or delivery.
