    Referral Rock
    Referral Rock is very relevant in cases where you already use Salesforce or HubSpot and want to integrate/streamline your Referral Marketing process with your Sales Management process (which is where Salesforce and Hub Spot are mainstream). Referral Rock might be less relevant if you don’t use Salesforce or HubSpot, but in that case, the pricing is also much lower, and you still get great value for the cost.

    We have multiple branch locations throughout our market area. It's very challenging to manage the web listings for each location, with a large volume of listings across numerous platforms for each of those locations. Yext significantly reduces the workload by allowing me to make a single update and Yext automatically pushes the notifications across the other platforms

    Pros
    Referral Rock
    • Onboarding support

    Yext
    • Yext is very, very user-friendly and easy to use.
    • Yext provides information within the portal on how you can enhance your listings as well as how you can fix any issues with your listings that may exist.
    • Yext's dedicated account managers can help you with any issues that may arise. For example our location pin on Apple Maps was wrong on one of our clinic listings and our Yext account manager reached out directly to Apple support and fixed the issue.

    Cons
    Referral Rock
    • Just a few minor missing features that I have been told are on the roadmap. Certainly not blockers.
    • Gift card payouts that work internationally, even if the currency selected is specific to a certain country (i.e. a $100 USD gift card payout amount should still result in the ability for the recipient to choose a gift card worth $100 USD, but available in their home country. Right now we are limited to only those gift cards available within the payout currency country).

    • Cost. This platform offers a lot of powerful features, but it has an expensive barrier to entry.
    • Annual contracts limit flexibility for smaller companies
    • The biggest drawback is that you need to keep your subscription active or listings/citation data will revert back to what it was pre-Yext implementation

    Usability
    Referral Rock
    Overall usability is solid. Their customer support and success team made it super easy for me to understand the software, how to use each feature, and how to get the most out of the product.

    Yext is pretty easy and straightforward to utilize out of the box. While I work for a digital marketing agency, and this is second nature to me at this point, I do believe the average SMB owner with zero digital marketing experience could be a proficient Yext user within 1 hour or so of usage. It's easy

    Have been very impressed with the support we receive from Yext. I always feel I am listened to and if I have any problems or concerns they are quickly addressed. I have multiple ways to obtain support, either technical or strategic support, and they are responsive. I couldn't ask for more.

    Referral Rock is overall a better platform. It provides more and better-implemented functionalities. It also provides much better integration with Salesforce/HubSpot and better user support.

    We initially chose Yext because it provided the greatest control for our multiple listings. Plus, it had access to the most publishers. However, when evaluating Synup we were very impressed. You would not go wrong to choose either!

    Return on Investment
    Referral Rock
    • Helped fulfill referral rewards.
    • Supported inbound and sales efforts.
    • Multiple programs used by multiple teams.

    Yext
    • Consistency in business listing management - without Yext, we would surely have more inconsistencies with our business address across the web. This can lead to poor communication to our customers, and potentially lost business if we lose trust as a reputable business.
    • Yext saves me hours of legwork to manage numerous web listing platforms individually.
