For YELLOWPAGES.COM Users
The new YELLOWPAGES.COM has been enhanced with a number of powerful features that help you find local businesses and services when you need them.
- Use the new Home page or MY YELLOWPAGES.COM to find what you want fast: With a streamlined Home page and your own personalized MY YELLOWPAGES.COM page, you can find what you need more quickly than ever. On the Home page, simply type in what you want to find. On your customized MY YELLOWPAGES.COM page, save addresses, business listings and notes so that you can find local businesses and services from your home computer or wherever you search.
- Search from almost any page on the site: At the top of almost every page in the site, you can perform a standard, distance or phone number search.
- Experience the power of three searches at once: Every time you search on YELLOWPAGES.COM, you are actually performing three searches at once:
- A business name search, which finds businesses that match the name you entered (for example, "Tony's Italian Pizza" or "Kelly's Shoes")
- A category search, which finds businesses that match the category you entered (for example, "pizza" or "shoes")
- A business information search, which finds businesses that contain any of the terms you entered in their business listing information.
You'll usually see information from these three searches in your search results page. You'll get your initial search results AND as many as two additional results listed after the "OR" icon. Find what you're looking for in your initial search results or select the additional search links for more results.
- See more relevant and local results: We've added a third column to your search results, so you can see even more businesses that you might be interested in: featured businesses, other businesses that may be nearby, and businesses that are related to your search.
- Refine your results by neighborhood: In many major U.S. cities, you can refine your search by your neighborhood. After you perform a search, select By Neighborhood from the Narrow By dropdown menu. You'll see a list of neighborhoods in the city you searched in. Select any neighborhood to see a list of results in or around that area.
- Enjoy the efficient new design: The site's new design offers you a contemporary search experience, with attractive icons and consistent visual guides that help you search quickly. Advertising and business content includes the color blue, while consumer and site features include yellow. The simplified design presents no distractions to keep you from finding the businesses and services you need.
- Search when you're on the go: With enhanced mobile search features like Send to Mobile and YP411 (97411), you can get information about local restaurants, shops and stores on your mobile phone even when you're on the go.
- If you have questions or comments about YELLOWPAGES.COM, please let us know! You can e-mail us at sitefeedback@yellowpages.com.
