My business is not listed! Can you add it?

In short: no, we can’t, unfortunately.

All the business types listed in the Local SEO plugin are taken from the schema.org website. Schema.org is a collaboration between the four big search engines (Google, Yahoo, Yandex and Bing). They are the ones that decide which business types to list, so unfortunately, we can’t add them ourselves.

If you want to check the list on schema.org,, you can find the specifics of the Local Business schema. In the Yoast Local SEO plugin, we use subtypes (or subtypes of subtypes) of the Local Business schema. Or, of course, they’re subtypes of subtypes of Local Business.

My type of business isn’t listed. Which should I pick?

If your business isn’t listed, please choose the closest, most relevant, business type. If no other types are relevant, please select the top item, which is Local Business.
