Are free Yahoo listings dead?

[Matthew Newman]

First off, long time no see!

I've still been going through the arduous process of Yahoo's free listing claiming, but this morning, I've noticed that they seem to have removed that option completely:

https://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/local-listings

It only gives me the Yext Yahoo Localworks option, and I'm not finding any other way around it.

It might just finally be time to leave Yahoo Local behind completely..

Hi Matthew,

There's a recent thread on this here - http://www.localsearchforum.com/local-search/22948-yahoo-local-can-no-longer-update-listing.html

I agree with your conclusion. Yahoo Local is not authoritative and not valuable for local businesses or SEOs. You are definitely better off focusing your efforts elsewhere.

Regards,
Scott
