## Quick verdict

Strong General Directory pick — #42 of 276, DR 89, free to submit. Worth it for local businesses needing citations; skip for pure digital SaaS with no local presence.

**Best for:** Local service businesses, agencies, and brick-and-mortar with a physical address · Teams building NAP citation stacks for local SEO and map pack visibility

## Approval & timeline

- **Time-to-live:** Claim or create a listing in minutes to a few days. Verification via phone, postcard, or email depending on claim flow.
- **Review:** Automated and manual checks for duplicate listings, spam, and address validity. Virtual offices may face extra scrutiny.
- **Common rejections:** Fake addresses, duplicate profiles, prohibited categories, or listings with no verifiable local presence.
- **Reputation:** Sales calls for paid YP ads are common after free listing — expect upsell outreach.

## Pros

- DR 89 domain with Very Strong citation backlink quality
- Free basic listing path for legitimate local businesses
- High local-intent referral traffic in supported categories
- Pairs with Google Business Profile and other NAP directories

## Cons

- Poor fit for web-only SaaS without a local service angle
- Upsell pressure for paid YP advertising packages
- Limited startup discovery — buyers are local consumers, not software evaluators
- Miscategorized digital products may be removed or hidden

## What you need before you submit

- Verifiable business name, street address, and local phone number (NAP)
- Primary business category matching your local service type
- Website URL, hours of operation, and business description
- Ability to receive verification call, email, or postcard at listed address
- Consistent NAP matching Google Business Profile and other citations

**Gotchas:**

- Pure SaaS with no local office usually belongs on software directories, not YellowPages
- Using a coworking address without permission can fail verification or hurt trust
- Duplicate listings for the same business confuse SEO — claim existing profile first

## Submission mechanics

- **Account:** Free YP account to claim or add a business listing via yellowpages.com claim flow.
- **Categories:** Pick local service categories — restaurants, contractors, professional services, retail — not software subcategories.
- **Anchor text:** Business name as listing title; website field links to your submitted homepage URL.
- **Link placement:** Dedicated business profile at yellowpages.com listing URL — indexed, crawlable local citation page.

## FAQ

### Can SaaS companies list on YellowPages?

YellowPages is built for local brick-and-mortar and service businesses. Web-only SaaS without a local presence should prioritize software directories instead.

### Is YellowPages free?

Yes — basic business listings are free. YP sells paid ads and enhanced placements, but a standard citation profile does not require payment.

### How is YellowPages different from Google Business Profile?

Both are local citations. Google Business Profile drives Maps visibility; YellowPages adds a DR 89 backlink and secondary local directory presence.

### Does YellowPages give dofollow backlinks?

Business profiles include crawlable website links on DR 89 yellowpages.com. We rate backlink quality Very Strong — treat as citation SEO plus modest local referral traffic.
