Developer and Administrator Experience

You do not need to be a software developer to build or manage an incredible search experience with Yext. But you can be! We offer a range of tools and resources that cater to both low-code administrators and coding experts. For example, our point-and-click configuration interface allows administrators to modify the levers in the backend that affect search results. On the other hand, these same settings can be configured with JSON in our developer console.

We provide administrators a full screen tool to test queries and identify opportunities for improvement in their search experiences without leaving the platform. In our test search you can see direct answers and featured snippets, view and copy raw API requests and responses, display customized entity previews, review test searches in your search log, and more!

Experience Training provides the opportunity to manually tweak the Algorithm's results if you ever notice a query that needs improvement. With your feedback on specific search terms, you can fix that query instantly and help Yext's Search improve the relevancy of its predictions over time.

Yext Hitchhikers is a comprehensive training program and online community. You can learn all about the Yext platform and practice your new skills with our quizzes and challenges. Additionally, our Hitchhikers community is an interactive environment where you can ask questions, engage with content, attend webinars, workshops, and office hours, and stay up to date with the latest product releases!

We have extensive documentation for users who want the run-down on specific topics, which includes: API docs, SDK & CLI docs, Getting Started Guides, Integration Guides, and Developer Guides. Developer Guides are especially catered toward technical experts and provide the information needed for more advanced or customized implementations.

Every time users engage with your search experience, you're collecting new data points in Yext. These insights will allow you to learn what's top of mind for your users, track conversions, quantify the value you're getting in cost savings and revenue generation, and identify areas for improvement.
