Lyft
Lyft is a ride hailing platform that also runs bikes and scooters in some cities, and Lyft Business gives companies a way to manage rides, ride credits, and travel budgets for their teams.
A business's location data has to line up across every mapping and app based service that might reference it, and keeping that consistent by hand means updating each network separately after every change. Lyft is one of those services, and it has no business page of its own to create or claim. Listings API submits business data to key data aggregators and primary directories, helping distribute accurate information across the broader local search ecosystem. It keeps a business's name, category, address, phone, website, and hours consistent across the directories, maps, and aggregators that are actually included in your plan.
A few API calls keep that record aligned across your plan's network. Listings API lets you:
- Create a location once and have it publish to every directory, map, and aggregator on your plan.
- Update the business name, category, address, phone, website, or hours across that whole set in a single call.
- Track publish status and pull back each live listing URL for the citations that do go live.
What Listings API controls for Lyft
One consistent citation record
Name, address, phone, hours, description, and categories are written once and stay identical across every directory, map, and aggregator in your plan, which are the sources Lyft draws local business information from. Listings API submits business data to key data aggregators and primary directories, helping distribute accurate information across the broader local search ecosystem.
Publish status you can query
Per site publish state and live listing links are readable back through the API for every citation on your plan, so you can confirm the underlying record is live from the response rather than opening each directory.
Typed SDKs + MCP
Node.js and Python SDKs with full types, plus a hosted MCP server so agents and LLM tools can drive the same API.

Lyft + Listings API
Does Lyft have a business listing Listings API can publish to?
No. Lyft is a ride hailing app, and Lyft Business is a separate corporate program for booking employee or client rides, neither of which has a claimable business page. Lyft populates the business data it uses from Google Business Profile, so keeping your Google listing updated through Listings API keeps the name, address, and hours Lyft sees updated.
How do I add a business to my citation network so it stays consistent everywhere, Lyft included?
Call createLocation with the business name, category, address, phone, website, and hours. That single call publishes the record to every directory and map on your plan, including Google Business Profile, which Lyft populates its data from.
How do I update a business's details across that network?
Send the changed fields to updateLocation. One call pushes the new name, address, phone, website, or hours to every citation your plan actually reaches, keeping the record correct without a separate submission anywhere, including places like Lyft that sit outside the direct publishing network.
Do I need a Lyft or Lyft Business account to use Listings API?
No. You authenticate every call with one Listings API key, and Listings API never creates or logs into a Lyft or Lyft Business account. Listings API is an independent service and is not affiliated with Lyft.
Are posts, review replies, or analytics available for Lyft through Listings API?
No. Lyft has no claimed business page or comment thread of its own for anyone to manage. Posts and review replies are supported on Google and Facebook only, and analytics come from Google, Bing, and Facebook, none of which extend to Lyft through Listings API.
Which plan covers Lyft in the citation network?
Lyft sits within the Enterprise plan's citation network. Lyft populates its data from Google Business Profile, so a location created under Enterprise keeps Google updated and Lyft follows. Launch and Growth do not include Lyft in that scope.
How does a listing reach Lyft?
