Yext Reviews & Product Details

Everything I need to manage my company's location listings is in one place. With one click, Yext automatically updates my company's location listings across dozens of sites, freeing up what would otherwise be countless hours of staff time for our hundreds of locations. Bulk editing is helpful with changes, whether big or small. Online reviews can be easily responded to and reported on. The Yext team is also very kind, helpful, and quick to respond.

The analytics portion of the platform can be confusing to set up for those of us who are not analysts. Due to Yelp's privacy settings, Yext is unable to export the message section of Yelp reviews. There is a lot of staff turnover at the account manager level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stephanie Yoon, our brand manager at Yext is extremely responsive and helpful. I have made mistakes several times causing errors and she has always helped me navigate how to fix it. We have repeatedly asked for how to improve our usage while being understaffed and the team has continiously made sugggestions, helped us with proof of concept and shown us what it would look like long term.

I love not having to have to email 4 different people. The dev team at Yext has navigated through several problems due to our legacy systems and complex needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it is hard to quickly see at a glance the status accross multiple platforms. I often have to look at 4+ pages to see what hours are being displayed in out entity, apple, google, closures, etc.

I wish there was a way to be able to see how google geolocates an addres. Our delivery service frequently has problems with how google geolocates an address and part of that seems to be based on where we put the driving direction pin on the entity. When google does not recognize an address because it is brand new construction, the driving directions often end up incorrect because of how google geolocation sets where the store is located for driving directions.

We transitioned from another listing and review generation platform and are very happy with Yext. After the initial implementation, we are enjoying the platform all the tools that it offer us for all of our locations and professionals. Support team is easy to get ahold via email and can usually resolve an issue quickly, or at least provide ETA from the publishers' side. I am on the platform daily and find it to be intuitive and simple to use for the first part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initial implementation took longer than expect, and there were promised and implicit features that turned out needed additional work or not readily available. It is also very important to start the work with a knowledgeable CSM to keep a constant line of communication to ensure our goals and needs are addressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Yext is an excellent platform, very configurable and allows us to keep on top of our SEO with a very lean internal team. Customer success and account team are available and help us to make best use of the platform and the implementation partner we used to integrate with the platform (Dentsu) were excellent.

The major challenge of Yext can be the scope of functionality. It can be daunting to manage, and feel like you're actually maximizing everything available within the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a great tool for managing all of your external listings in one place, especially if you manage thosands of profiles. The tool makes it easy to make bulk changes. It's always releasing new features to customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform can be a bit difficult to learn, so it takes a while to get up to speed. I wish the reporting features were a little less complex. I want to be able to quickly identify listings that could be optimized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how Yext has quarterly/bi-yearly Summits to inform all of its customers with the new features and updates! That is extremely benefical as we work in an industry that is steadily changing and advancing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside of managing thousands of entities in Yext is that some may quit syncing so it takes time to resolve those listings that have errors, but Yext makes it easy to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Yext has great analytics reports available to compare our listings' growth over the years. I like being able to build custom reports. It's also easy to schedule listing updates and monitor reviews that come in for all of our locations. We have 80+ offices, so Yext helps us keep our Facebook, Google, and Yelp pages up to date.

No option to create and manage LinkedIn pages for locations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Yext makes local SEO so much easier by letting me update business info in one place and syncing it across tons of directories. It saves a lot of time and keeps everything accurate, which is huge for rankings. The reporting tools are also super helpful for tracking performance and showing clients the results. It’s made our workflow smoother and our clients happier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost can be a bit high, especially for smaller agencies or tight budgets. Plus, if a client decides to stop using Yext, their listings can lose the updates, which is frustrating. The platform has a lot of features, which is great, but it can feel a little overwhelming at first. It takes some time to really figure everything out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their customer support! Always very responsive and happy to help! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of ability to help when having issues with a particular platform. It's not always in Yext control, although I've run into issues where the platform is of no help and I cannot make any progress with my issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
