Every search engine is starting to incorporate the use of local searches. With the growing popularity of smart phones, local searches have more than quadrupled in the past year alone. People want to find businesses and products that are around them and they turn to local search to get this accomplished. Google, Bing, Yellow Pages, Super Pages, and Yahoo are all taking part in local search engine optimization, but you won't see any benefits unless you get your business listed in these popular search directories. Yahoo local search is one of the top local search directories, and you can't afford not to have your business listed there.
When consumers search for local products or services, they want as much information as they can find to help them decide if they should make a purchase. One of the most powerful deciding factors is customer reviews. Positive customer reviews can very easily help an indecisive consumer make up their mind on where they should be spending their money. Yahoo Local allows your customers to leave reviews about your business. This can very easily convince people to come walking through your door, but your business won't get any of those benefits if it is not listed with Yahoo Local.
Businesses can benefit from the power of Yahoo local searches without spending a dime. Getting your site listed is free. The only thing that it will cost is some of your time.
