What is Yext?
Yext is a hosted search-as-a-service platform that empowers businesses to build frictionless digital experiences wherever consumers look for answers.
At the foundation of the platform is a Knowledge Graph, a brain-like database that stores all of a business’s most important information. This enables brands to deliver direct answers to customer questions in the form of featured snippets, maps, FAQs, and custom calls to action. The same information can sync from the Knowledge Graph to any of our 250+ integrations with industry partners, so businesses can manage data and capture consumer intent with the tools they trust.
The vendor states brands like Verizon, Vanguard, Campbell’s, and Farmers Insurance — as well as organizations like the U.S. State Department and the World Health Organization — trust Yext to deliver natural language search experiences that convert more business, reduce support costs, and uncover new insight about what matters most to their customers.

Reviews
(1-21 of 21)- Popular Filters
Recommend for any business!
- Updating directory listings in one fell swoop
- Allows for a lot of data for each listing to be entered
- Duplicate suppression is a very handy tool
- Duplicate suppression does not always take hold and there is often little recourse
Yext review
- Information push
- Review tracking
- Building citations
- Instructions
- Help Screens
- Big learning curve
Yext is a great addition to our team!
- Identifying SEO opportunities
- Targeting high volume keywords
- Improving user experience
- Turnaround time for development of listing/location pages is too long (4-6 weeks for a single entity)
In addition to Yext we also do manual citation building, but Yext is a cost and resource-saving solution to large scale listings management for our organization.
- Listings management
- Coverage of local ecosystem (partnerships with major directories/publishers and data aggregators)
- Instantaneous updates across most publishers
- Easy data management through export/import of files
- Listing audits
- Online Travel Agency coverage
- Proactive listings management and profile completeness
- Communication of publisher updates
Innovative and critical for big business
- Put a lot of data across multiple channels
- Keep data up to date especially at large retailers and bank by allowing each location to modify hours etc.
- Create customization amongst individual franchises and locations
- It's a sophisticated tool. I didn't use it enough to experience big issues. I primarily resold it.
Listings like Lightning
- Broad updates fast - I don't have to mess with specific listings at all.
- Duplicate suppression - A definitive information source for our clients' customers.
- Powerful analytics - We can show accurate ROI and estimated conversions very easily.
- Web scraper - Clients don't want to do data entry, and this is the fastest way to grab info from some of them. It could be a bit more robust, to be honest.
- Linked entities - Useful for letting customers know, for example, where a certain medical professional will be on a certain day of the week. Not impossible to use, but it feels like it could be easier.
- Dark mode - The UI is bright white, and I'd like something easier on the eyes.

Yext delivers great results at a great price
- Ease of use, the dashboard is fairly intuitive, and easy to figure out.

- Creating Citation Listings
- Updating Citation Listings
- Duplicate Suppression

- Technical Support
Yext solves an important problem very easily
- Updates search engine information: This is the best thing about Yext. Companies can quickly and easily unify their brand image across multiple search engines with minimal effort and ONE PASSWORD.
- Yext makes it simple to protect your online presence from bad data and duplicate entries.
- Yext makes updating a company profile very simple and easy. Adding business hours. employees, business offerings, etc. is simple.
- The user interface is a little ugly, but the point is to get the information correct so that it is easily forgiven.
- The reporting can get a little byzantine. Due to so many options, it's easy to get lost in what matters.
- Yext doesn't play well with other products. For example, if you use software to make moving images for Facebook, Yext can't support that and it could crash your ability to edit Facebook images.
All the bells and whistles - with a corresponding price tag
- Easy to access and manage store data.
- Store review monitoring and response.
- Customer success/support.
- Proactive (vs. reactive) listing correction.
- Proactive listing optimization.
- Cost.
Yext: A Simple Time Saver

- Great customer service. Any issue that we've taken to the support team has been resolved within a day.
- Takes some time for a new user to understand the platform.
- Some website error messages when reviewing listings do not make sense.
Great Support, Great Product
- Makes it easy to connect to multiple listings.
- Makes it easy to troubleshoot issues.
- Can't be used globally.
- Optimization link expires after one click.
Worth every penny
- Location management in one place.
- Easy to use dashboard and location editing. There are no items that are out of place or unexpected in the dashboard that you have not seen nativity in Google my Business or Facebook.
- This platform is expensive. There are cheaper alternatives out there that can do just as much for less.
- There is no ability to run ads through Yext. This hinders it from being the all in 1 platform that others have already addressed.
Yext helps with SEO/Listing Management
- 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.
- Because SEO is so important to many company I would love to have more regular contact with our Yext Account Manager, primarily to discuss ways to continue to enhance our listings.
- It would be great is Yext could be available at a lower per location, per month fee. The current monthly fees would make it difficult for a smaller business to take advantage of their services.
- It would be great is Yext would show you examples of what your listings look like on various sites that they manage. The customer provides the information and it would be great to have more visibility into how it actually looks on the web.
