Yext offers unique advantages through its technology platform and proprietary publisher integrations. First and foremost, it enhanced our local search in terms of breadth and depth for our digital presence.
We need to have a single source of truth for our digital footprint and to be able to cleanly say, 'Okay, we've made this change, we know it's been brand verified by us, and we know it's been changed everywhere.' To me, that is the core value of Yext.
Yext is definitely saving us a lot of time. Instead of having to manually curate name, address, and other data through all the different channels — Google, Apple, Bing, you name it — I just type it into Yext.
Since our program began, we've seen a marked increase in the quality and accuracy of our public facing information such as operating hours, addresses, and phone numbers. Our customers have responded with more bookings and higher satisfaction metrics.
