Yodle

Yodle was a New York-based local online marketing and lead-generation company for small and medium-sized businesses, offering all-in-one advertising, web presence, and business-automation products such as Marketing Essentials, Yodle Ads, and Lighthouse 360. Backed by Bessemer Venture Partners, it was acquired by Web.com in February 2016 for roughly $342 million and no longer operates as a standalone brand — its technology was folded into Web.com, now part of Newfold Digital. Yodle exposes no public developer API, developer portal, or SDKs; api.yodle.com is an internal, auth-gated endpoint (HTTP 401) and the legacy www.yodle.com site is effectively defunct.

Yodle is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Vertical Software, Local Marketing, Advertising, and Lead Generation.
