You still have a nagging feeling at the back of your head. "What if they didn't update EVERYTHING? Who's keeping them accountable?

They update all of your info on every directory online. This is great because it really helps your online footprint and it connects information on your website with other legitimate websites. It is a great thing for SEO.

If you have the spending money it's good but make sure that someone is watching them. Consider that maybe the one who watches them might be able to just do the job themselves.
Yext Review
What do you like best about the product?
Yext provides the option to manage multiple pages from multiple platforms. It's helpful to be able to have all reviews and data in one place and to be able to measure the effectiveness in platform. Additionally, the ability to engage and respond is a big win for in platform features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The opt-in for Facebook pages. The platform seems to take over the Facebook pages, and we have had issues in the past that we have seen Yext posting on behalf of the page. I am guessing this has been fixed since we had the issue, but it was a red flag for us in the past.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Online review/reputation management. It's been great from an efficiency perspective.

Sometimes there was a lag between review times.

Great Product but You're Locked In Indefinitely
What do you like best about the product?
This software allows you to seamlessly manage multiple business listings across multiples sites. This is a marketing professionals dream!
What do you dislike about the product?
From what I've read, when you go to discontinue Yext usage, all of the postings that you've made will revert back to their original state. I've thankfully been very happy with their service so far, so I've never had to cancel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company operates several manufacturing facilities across the United States, and this service allows me to manage each business listing from one central location.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a wonderful service, but remember that you're pretty much locked in for life once you start utilizing Yext.
Yext Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I do like how this program keeps contact information correct across all channels. I also like being able to see all reviews in one location and even reply directly from Yext. Having an average score of so many out of 5 is also great for reporting purposes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the organization of the site. It takes a bit of getting used to. This could also be due to a site upgrade that happened and changed how things look. It was difficult to get acclimated at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're able to keep current and correct contact information for each of our campuses throughout the US. In addition, we're able to see all of the reviews coming in and an average score of what our students think of us when it comes to online reviews.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend connecting with the rep you're assigned and working with them closely to get the proper training. The organization of the site is the only thing truly lacking, in my opinion, and feel that addressing this ahead of time would have made the transition to this new software a whole lot easier.
Yext + Sport Clips = Winning Combination
What do you like best about the product?
It does start with the people around you. Communication with Tyler and Stacey has been superb. It has allowed us to create deeper discussion and insight, providing exactly what we expect, which lays the foundation across our system for building winning strategies.
What do you dislike about the product?
Attribution. There are a few attributes that would have been nice specifically in a franchise model.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Duplicate listings. Update all store information from a single source. Lock down information. Provide clients with accurate information to drive better trust with search engines.
Optimal Location Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
The Yext CMS platform is easy to use and intuitive. Its simplistic model is also easily shared with other users across the hundreds of offices we have across the country.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dont like at this time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Increasing online visibility through organic means through directory listings such as Google and optimized landing pages. We have seen a 200% growth year over year through these two mediums.
Two Thumbs Up
What do you like best about the product?
Yext provides a universal place to go in an update information across all our studios - and as a result, has taken something that was tedious and labor intensive and made it much more simple. We have a much higher degree of confidence that our information is consistent and accurate across networks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that we dislike, but it would be great if YEXT would start to play in industry verticals a little more. For example, we'd love to keep our information consistent across yoga directories as well as the broader network.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the biggest business problems we've been able to solve with Yext, aside from streamlining how we update information across our studios, is to be able to universally post content across all of our local studio Facebook pages. As a result of this functionality, we are now able to communicate news, events and student/teacher highlights at a local level, which helps to build and celebrate each of our communities in a unique way.
Helps keep my social media overhead to a minimum
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I’m able to have pre-formatted social media to schedule postings. This really can help keep your customers and potential customers and gauge without taking up a lot of your time
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you could schedule further out then it allows you right now..Also it doesn’t allow you to interact with every social media platform for every post
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cuts down on my overhead time for posting Thomas business social media accounts
