It allows us to grow and improve our SEO while increasing visibility on the internet thanks to our SEO-optimized business profile page that features our reviews.

    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

    • 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
    SmartCustomer
    • It has slow customer services.
    • Too many ads on reviews pages.
    • Anyone can write reviews, unverified users trying to make their company look really good by hiding real reviews.

    • 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

    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.

    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!

    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.
