Quick start

Step 1. Log in

Note. Don't use your personal username, such as from Yandex Mail or Yandex Disk, because you won't be able to transfer your company to a different username.

Open Yandex Business and log in with your Yandex ID. If you don't have a username, sign up.

Step 2. Specify the name and business category

Find out if your business is on Yandex Maps.

My business is not yet on Yandex Maps
Enter the name of your company. Enter the main business category. To do this, start typing the category name and select one from the drop-down list. Once you add your company, you'll be able to choose two additional business categories.
My business is already on Yandex Maps
You need to confirm that you are the owner of the business. To do this, follow the instructions in the Confirm your ownership rights to the company section. You don't need to complete the further instructions in “Quick start”.

Step 3. Add an address

Enter the address of the office, store, or branch your customers visit. If the company only operates online and has no actual street address, select your city or region.

Step 4. Enter and confirm a phone number

  1. Enter a phone number. After you register, users will see the number in the company profile, in Yandex Search, and in Yandex Maps.
  2. Enter your website or social media page.
  3. Choose a convenient way to confirm your number: by SMS or with a call.
  4. Wait until a message arrives or an automated operator calls. Usually, the waiting time is less than 10 minutes.
  5. Enter the verification code to confirm your number.

Wait until your application is verified. Sometimes, it takes up to three days. You can track the verification status in the Requests → Confirmation section.

After verification is complete, your company profile will be published online.

Users will be able to find your company in Yandex Search the next day after publication.

If the status of your request doesn't change after two weeks, contact support.

Step 5. Fill out the company profile

  1. On the Businesses page, click the link with the company name.

  2. In the menu on the left, go to About the business → Data.

  3. Fill in your information. For more information, see Fill out the company information.
