In an earlier CWI Connection, we showed you how to add your business to Google Local for free. To start off the new year, we want to help you get your business listed on yet another free service - Yahoo! Local. The term “Local” for both Google and Yahoo essentially refers to each search engine’s map search feature. For example, if I do a “find business” Google search for “coffee” in “pulaski va” the first result I get is Coffee Buy The Book at 10 W. Main Street in downtown Pulaski.

To see if your business is listed on Yahoo! Local, go to http://local.yahoo.com, enter your zip code and then search for your business. If it is not listed, go to http://listings.local.yahoo.com/csubmit/index.php and complete the form to submit your business to Yahoo! Local. This will help people find your business and it may improve your Web site’s SEO; assuming you have a Web site. If you have questions, e-mail me at gary@cwimedia.com.
