Yext

The Single Best Tool for Listings

Kommentare: Outstanding and I've recommended it to clients time and time again!

Vorteile:

Set it and Forget it. With Yext, you input your listing and confirm via authenticating factors and in just days you see the direct impact. Organic results improve, SEO improves, Adwords quality improves...you name it! The second best part is ease of use. Once your listing is within YEXT, they work to address over 100 listing entities online, building search equity for your site within Google and other platforms to assure that your listing is in fact REAL, ACCURATE, and RELIABLE.

Nachteile:

Would be nice if there was a master feature for advertisers to be able to list multiple entities under one account login and separate payment methods. This could also increase the number of subscriptions to YEXT!

Great for Agencies who Create and Manage Citations

Kommentare: Overall my experience with Yext has been excellent. It does everything it claims to do and customer service is always quick and helpful.

Vorteile:

What I like most about this software is that it makes updating client information across listings fast and easy. Before Yext, our agency used to spend a lot of time updating hours, uploading photos, etc..now it can be done in a fraction of the time. I also love that Yext allows us to quickly add schema to a website that auto-updates when business information changes.

Nachteile:

I least like that the integrations with Google My Business and Facebook must be set up separately. This sometimes gets overlooked by my staff or if we have trouble gaining access from a client, it will never get done. It would also be nice if social posting could be pushed to more than just Google My Business..for example Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. That could allow us to replace other software with Yext. One thing that would be nice is if Yext salespeople were able to help us better monitize the software as an agency. I've done a few meetings and phonecalls to try to come up with better ways to use and sell the software to clients, but they always turn into the Yext sales person trying to get us to commit more money to Yext. I'd love to get some ideas on how other agency partners are using Yext for their clients and selling the software/service with their service packages.

No SEO benefit

Kommentare: I purchased Yext for local SEO. After two years I determined that Yext did not help rankings in Google for any type of search.

Vorteile:

Yext does update its network of web directories quickly. But, you don't want to use Yext to manage important directories like Google, Apple, Bing, Facebook, Foursquare, and Yelp because these popular websites should be managed directly. Yext can be used to update low-value web directories like YP, 123local, Citysearch, CitySpark, CitySquares, and dozens of other little-known and used directories.

Nachteile:

Yext does not help SEO, specifically ranking in Google. I've tested Yext extensively over 2 separate trials with each trial lasting two years. On tests with lawyers and local home services businesses that I used Yext did not show any noticeable improvement in ranking in Google.

Highly Recommended

Kommentare: I've been using Yext for my clients since 2015. I currently have 37 client locations currently under my management with Yext and all of those clients are very happy with Yext results.

Vorteile:

The robust content management is outstanding. It allows me to help my clients ensure their listings stand out from the run of the mill.,

Nachteile:

Pricing for the Ultimate plan strikes me as excessive. I have my clients on the Professional pan.

Yext made our lives easier

Vorteile:

I liked how easy it was to implement. Our team manages the online listings for over 300 small businesses.

Nachteile:

I wish it worked with more directories.
