Yahoo is the 5th most popular website in the United States. It was founded in 1994 and became one of the most popular search engines. But, with the emergence of Google and Bing, the popularity of yahoo has decreased on a large scale, but it is still effective. 

In the United States, one search from every eight search engine searches comes to Yahoo, which means Yahoo is something that is not avoidable though there is the most popular used search engine, Google. 

If you are a local business owner and want your customers to find your business via Yahoo search, Yahoo offers to add your site to the local business listing. Seems beneficial, right?

But, I know what you are wondering! How to list your business on Yahoo for free? Isn’t it? No worries, we will cover the step-by-step guide on this matter below.
