![]() Richard Hanscott, CEO of Yell said: “After 51 years in production Yellow Pages is a household name and we’re proud to say that we still have customers who’ve been with us from the very first Yellow Pages edition in 1966. ![]() Yell says it will distribute the first of the 104 final editions in Kingston in January 2018, with the last sent out a year later in Brighton, where the directory was first published in 1966. The 23m copies of the final edition will no doubt become end-of-an-era souvenirs to many. Once an essential part of every household, Yellow Pages owner, Yell says it will stop printing from January 2019, moving to a fully digitised version only. Rant over.but I am curious if anyone else has just thrown in the towel and paid the stupid Yext/Thrive monthly fees to get these citations cleaned up.Image courtesy of Flickr The household telephone directory to cease being a publication in January 2019 ![]() A business owner shouldn't be required to pay a monthly fee forever just to keep their info accurate on a given directory. With all the privacy issues these days you would think these directories would be ripe for lawsuits. How these websites can hold your own business data hostage is beyond me. You would think there would be some kind of law that if a website had your data they should be required to give you a free and easy way to manage that data. There doesn't seem to be a clean and easy way anymore to manually fix citations. These citations are a major pain in the *ss as it seems they are all moving towards working with Yext anyway. But I'm starting to wonder if systems like their's and Yext is worth doing these days. I've been doing this long enough to understand that what he was telling me was half true as I know inaccurate data on other sites will mess all the data up. He warned me, however, that even if they can fix the listing, it will likely just go back to the current data because all the other data on other websites are wrong, duplicated, etc.īottom line, he said I'll be chasing my tail so it's best to sign up for their platform. He also informed me that he couldn't fix the specific Yellow Pages listing I had a question about so he had to give me a number to a different department. He said their system would "easily" fix everything for just $59/month. I called them and this time the guy just tried to sell me their Yext-like platform as this client had "dozens of duplicates" across multiple sites. ![]() I just wanted to update this thread as I had to contact Yellow Pages again for yet another client. OR there was a dupe in their system that is hidden from the YP site that they were working on by mistake. I can't tell you how many times in the early days when I was just starting to work with YP that they changed a different listing than I was looking at because there was a dupe I didn't know about. If the ID's match, you're talking about the same listing. Make sure you get them to repeat the ID back to you when they're talking about making changes. In each YP listing's URL there is a number at the end. You need to make sure you're talking about the same listing. Don't just be satisfied with the NAPW matching when you speak to them because you may be talking about 1 listings and the may be talking about another dupe. They've got this habit lately of doing a with you so you can see what they're doing to the listing. Or, you can ask the YP rep to look them up.Īlso, make sure you guys are talking about the same listing. You should be good.īy the way, if it's multiple listings, the listings may all be under one email or may be under multiple. Once you have the email, just do the forgot password and you should be in. Call in and ask them to tell you the email associated with the account so you can do a "forgot password" and get the info changed. Is there's no claim button, it's claimed.
