Yahoo’s Locations Near You Show Competitors

 

We had issues with one of our clients in the Yahoo search results earlier this week. Yahoo was pulling in a page title and meta description for totally different pages on the site. That issue was quickly resolved after @yahoo_directory found the conversation on Twitter.

I checked our client’s listings this morning and noticed that Yahoo started to add the “Locations Near You” link under the main listing. The “Locations Near You” link brought me to Yahoo Local. I first noticed that the locations near me were actually from Jacksonville, while I reside in Orlando. Then I noticed that there were competitors being listed as well. I quickly went back to the Yahoo search results and clicked on the “Locations Near You” for one of the competitors and low and behold my client was their only local listing. Hope this is fixed soon.
