What is Yext?

We first use Yext to audit a business’ citations. What already exists out there and is it accurate business information? We then use Yext to create directory listings. This is the only way to get some listings (Yahoo and Bing come to mind).

2. Log in and Click On Location Manager
3. +Add A New Location
4. Enter the Client’s business Core Information – copy this information from their Google My Business (GMB) page:
