We use Yext and all the other products mentioned here. Yext overlaps a bit with BrightLocal, but BrightLocal acknowledges Yext and thus makes it easy to avoid duplicated work. Each service provides a unique service that we use with our clients. We have been with Yext since its early days and at that time, they were a direct tool to manage a client's online footprint. Yext continues to upgrade its services providing new ways to help clients.

Moz Local does not have as good of listings coverage as Yext and their platform does not work as well for at scale changes. Moz Local also does not have the same powered listings partnerships that Yext has for instantaneous changes. For smaller enterprises where there are fewer changes to their brick and mortar businesses Moz Local might be a good fit, but if there are that few changes to their business it may be worth manually managing listings so as to avoid recurring costs.

Fazoli's is using Yext for response, generation, publishing, analytics, and the knowledge assistant. We implemented a review response strategy out to all our field users and have seen tremendous success from that program. The proposal from Rio SEO only included review monitoring so it wasn't a full replacement. During the research, I learned that Rio SEO has a team of about 75 people total in the entire company. Yext is over 1,110 people worldwide and is growing its Customer Care and Service branch to support its existing client base. We consider Yext to be a long term partner for us.

I looked at a few other competitors and they were significantly cheaper. But they offered fewer directories and fewer additional services. Yext is always expanding their offerings and the other guys seem to be just focused on the SEO benefits, where I see the logistical, data-driven benefits of being able to update how we appear across the web far outweigh the SEO benefits.

We didn't know about BirdEye until after working with Yext. Definitely excited to work with them and see how their solution stacks up. It seems to be Yext but much more robust and hopefully actually functional. The bedside manner at Yext was the most unprofessional I have ever seen in my entire career.

Moz Local is a primary alternative to this platform. And while it's not nearly as powerful, customizable, or wide-reaching as Yext, its price point is probably more appropriate for smaller businesses/agencies.

Unlike Yext, which is a subscription model, Whitespark allows you to pay once to disseminate your information throughout their network and offers a very reasonable price to send any updates through the network if your NAP data has changed. Yext offers annual agreements and a constant connection to their API. If you have a lot of NAP changes, Yext is worth it.

Yext allows us to update information across all platforms and keep visitors up to date with what is happening at our client's hotels. SEMRush and Ahrefs do not have this feature in their software making it necessary to have Yext. The customer service at Yext is also incredibly responsive, having resolved issues in a timely fashion.

My company initially used Moz Local to manage our online listings and after we had 10 clinics open, we made a change and switched to Yext. Yext is a lot more user friendly and cost effective. You also have the added benefit of working directly with an Account Manager who can answer any issues or questions you might have. The Yext package for each location covers a lot more online directories than Moz Local did.

Yext Knowledge Manager ranks above all other listing management platforms such as MozLocal, Rio SEO, BrightLocal etc with regards to the service they provide. They offer much faster updates, accurate data sync, allow scheduled updates, powerful templates, featured message sync.

The only downside of Yext Knowledge Manager vs other local listing management platforms is the high price tag.
