How to add and claim your business on MapQuest.

Mapquest is still a very popular tool. When Verizon purchased AOL, MapQuest was part of the deal. Since Verizon is one of the largest cell-service providers in the world, that means MapQuest has actually grown and still one of the largest mapping services. Having your company posted on MapQuest is a great way to expand your reach to new customers that aren’t using Google Maps, or other services. Unfortunately you will have to pay to claim and manage your listing on MapQuest. Since Verizon purchased MapQuest, there have been many changes. One of the changes is how you pay for the listing.
