Yahoo Local

[shauna7084]

Hello,

I'm wondering how to add a business to Yahoo Local.  I've tried searching for the URL to add it, but keep getting redirected to https://www.aabacosmallbusiness.com/advisor .  Has Yahoo outsourced their business listings, or am I just not finding the page I'm looking for?

Hi There,

This past summer, Yahoo did spin off their small business division into Aabaco. Here's an article on this:

Yahoo's own links to creating a listing seem to all point here https://www.aabacosmallbusiness.com/local-listings but there just hasn't been much of an outcry over this because I think not many Local SEOs are promoting Yahoo as a must-list platform to their clients anymore. Max Minzer's awesome list says this about Yahoo (http://www.reengageconsulting.com/be-where-your-customers-are-with-local-business-listings/#yahoo

Listing Support:

Some support is available but don’t rely on it! General support and information provided.

• (408) 916-2149 – support if you create an incident number.
• @YSmallBizCare – Aabaco Small Biz Support Twitter account. Your best bet for free listing support.
• Customer Support – not much help here unless you’re a paying customer.
• Help for Aabaco Local Basic (free) – general information as well.

So, you might want to check those options out. Interesting to note he thinks the Twitter account is the best bet for support!

Yahoo used to be one the most prominent directories for local businesses, but these days, many Local SEOs agree that it may not be worth fussing with anymore.
