Yellowfin Development is a proud partner of Yext, one of the leading platforms for managing business listings across the digital ecosystem. Through this partnership, we offer managed local listings as a service – handling setup, synchronization, and ongoing maintenance across 100+ directories, maps, apps, and search platforms on your behalf.
The short version: your business information stays accurate everywhere people look for you, without you having to think about it.
What “Managed Listings” Actually Means
When someone searches for your business – on Google, Apple Maps, Yelp, Bing, Facebook, TomTom, or any of dozens of other platforms – they find information that was either put there by you, scraped from somewhere else, or generated by the platform itself. More often than not, that information is incomplete, inconsistent, or just wrong.
A managed listings service connects your business data to a centralized platform that pushes accurate, complete information out to 100+ directories simultaneously. When something changes – new hours, new phone number, new location, new service – it updates everywhere at once. One source of truth, everywhere it matters.
What gets managed:
- Core NAP data: Business name, address, and phone number – consistent and identical across every platform
- Business categories and descriptions: Accurate categorization that helps search engines understand what you offer
- Hours of operation: Including holiday hours and special closures
- Photos and media: Professional imagery that represents your business accurately
- Services, products, and menus: The details that help customers decide before they contact you
- Review monitoring: Visibility into what customers are saying across platforms
- Listing analytics: Data on how customers are finding and interacting with your listings
Why This Matters for Local Search
Google uses your business listings as signals to evaluate local credibility and determine where you appear in map pack results. Consistent NAP data across authoritative directories – Google, Apple, Bing, Yelp, Facebook, the BBB, and others – tells Google your business is real, stable, and worth showing to local searchers.
Inconsistent or incomplete listings do the opposite. A wrong phone number on one platform, an old address on another, a missing category somewhere else – these inconsistencies create noise that undermines your local rankings and confuses potential customers.
Manual citation building is time-consuming, complicated, and easy to let slip. Platforms change their data, aggregators overwrite your corrections, and duplicate listings appear without your knowledge. A managed service handles all of it continuously – not as a one-time setup but as ongoing maintenance.
What It Costs
We manage local listings for $99/month – no contracts, cancel anytime. That covers setup, ongoing synchronization across 100+ platforms, correction of existing errors, duplicate suppression, and monitoring for changes.

Research
Citation consistency – the accuracy and uniformity of your business name, address, and phone number across online directories – is one of the top local search ranking factors. Businesses with complete, consistent listings are significantly more likely to appear in the Google local map pack than those with incomplete or conflicting data across platforms.
