Entrepreneurs in Uzbekistan Get Convenient Tool to Manage Business Profiles on Yandex Maps via Mobile Devices

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — The Yandex Maps mobile application has introduced a new feature that allows entrepreneurs to create and edit profiles of their organizations directly from a smartphone.

The update significantly simplifies managing a business’s presence on the map and enhances its visibility to millions of active users of the geoservice.

According to an online survey conducted by Yandex Uzbekistan, 36 percent of the country’s residents use mapping services at least once a month, while 65 percent turn to maps specifically to find businesses and services. This makes a business’s presence on digital maps one of the key channels for attracting customers.

Business owners can now add their organization to the map or take control of an existing profile in just a few steps.

When creating a page, special attention should be given to selecting the correct business category, as it directly affects how the company appears in search results and service recommendations.

Through the mobile application, entrepreneurs can edit all key information: address, contact details, website, working hours, and links to social media accounts. They can also upload photos, videos, and logos, and interact with customers in real time by responding to reviews. Push notifications and email alerts allow businesses to stay informed of new inquiries and user activity.

If a business is already listed on Yandex Maps, ownership rights can be obtained through a simple verification process, either via video confirmation or SMS.

Companies that keep their data up to date receive a special “Verified by Owner” badge, which increases user trust.

According to Yandex Maps, the number of verified organizations in Uzbekistan doubled in 2025 alone, reflecting a growing interest among businesses in digital promotion tools.
