Posts are cards with text and photos that you can use to share information about your company. For example, you can create one to announce an exhibit, explain the terms and conditions for a promotion, announce new arrivals, or provide directions to your location.

Note. Posts don't affect your company's ranking in search results, but they can make your profile more attractive.

Users see your posts in the following services:

On the News tab in company profiles.

You can rate posts in Yandex Search. To do this, use the section under the text of each post where users react with or .

Business owners can see user reactions next to their posts in their Yandex Business account.
