Placement requirements
The requirements on this page apply to all Yandex Business listings.
The information in new applications and company profiles is regularly checked by moderators.
Rules for filling in the fields
Data verification
By phone
To keep the data in Yandex Business up to date, our call center operators call businesses and confirm their information (name, address, opening hours, and so on).
We also make automated calls, which means you might be reached by a robot.
To ensure you received a call from Yandex Business, contact us using the form. In the form, select “Placement of a business with an actual address” and then — “Other”.
Additional checks
To verify the legitimacy of your company, we may request the following:
- A video showing the facade of your building with an address plaque, a sign with your company name, and the interior of your office. The video must be shot without interruptions.
- A copy/photo of the rental agreement for the address listed in the company profile.
- A copy/photo of a document that confirms your ownership of the premises (for example, a certificate of ownership or a purchase and sale agreement).
Alert
Providing materials doesn't mean automatic verification.
We will check the authenticity of your photos and videos. If it turns out that there are not enough materials, we will ask you to send additional information.
We guarantee the confidentiality for everything you send us.
Yandex reserves the right to:
-
Edit names in compliance with the rules for filling in the fields. For example, adjust the length of the name so it fits into the appropriate interface elements and is easy to read and understand by users of Yandex Business, Yandex Maps, and so on. For more information, see the Name section.

Reject requests to add or edit company information taking into account the Yandex Business placement requirements and conditions.
