How do I register for a free Yahoo business listing?

4/26/2017

 

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.

Yahoo Business Listing Step-By-Step

  1. Start at www.Yext.com. Enter your business name, phone and click on SCAN NOW.​​

Look for the small print at the bottom
2.​     The scan will produce a long page of “found” “not found” information. Ignore all of it and click the big orange button at the top of the page that says CONTINUE.

3.     Complete the short list of profile information for your business. CONTINUE

4.     SELECT YOUR PLAN will appear with different options for getting your business information updated on Yahoo and other sites. Ignore the chart.  In small print at the bottom of the chart you will see “Claim your basic listing only on Yahoo”. Click this link.

5.     You are almost done! Mark the checkboxes at the bottom of the CHECKOUT page.

6.     PLACE ORDER
​
7.     BACK TO YAHOO

8.     You will receive an email from YEXT PowerListings with a link to confirm your email address and activate your account. Click on the link to CONFIRM EMAIL.

9.    You will need to create a password for your business account with YEXT. Once you have entered your password twice click on SIGN IN.

10.    You will be given 3 options to verify that you are the rightful owner of the business. Choose the IMMEDIATE option. YEXT will call your business phone number. Using an automated attendant they will announce a numeric value to enter. Enter the code.
​

11.    Review your listing information and update as needed. Save your YEXT password in a safe place. This completes the setup for your free Yahoo 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.
