Claiming your Yahoo Business Page with OUT having to pay Yext

The most frequently asked questions from my clients this week are:

Q1. How do I claim my Yahoo Business Listing with OUT having to subscribe to Yext?
and then:
Q2. Can't I just pay you to do this for me?

A1. There is a way to do this and I can show you.
A2. Lol, yes you can.

1. Go to search.yahoo.com.
2. MAKE SURE you click on the word local.
3. Search for your business.
4. When you click on the main heading when you're in LOCAL, it opens up information on the right including reviews, directions, a link to your site and if you scroll down you see an option to verify your listing. You want that.

This bring you to Yext. There is much marketing hoopla and information about all of the places that you're failing and data that supports that you should pay them for stuff. 

Don't Pay Them.

From here you just go through the process of filling in your information (you don't need the report sent to you) as though you were moving forward with a paid account.

When you get to the last page where they show you the payment plans.... squint your eyes a bit and look towards the bottom and you'll see a place to click where you can claim your Yahoo listing for free.

You can then verify your ownership by having them email you and clicking on the verification email. 

Ta-da! You have claimed your Yahoo listing for free.
