How Yext Makes It Easier to Manage Citations

Yext makes citation management easier by automating the process, ensuring consistency across platforms, and improving your local search visibility. BeFindable’s partnership with Yext means that businesses can leverage this powerful tool to maintain accurate business information, suppress duplicates, monitor reviews, and boost their SEO efforts. As part of BeFindable’s subscription plans, Yext’s services are fully integrated, helping businesses save time and enhance their online presence.

Managing citations is a crucial part of local SEO. Citations, or mentions of your business’s name, address, and phone number (NAP) across various online directories, can significantly impact your local search visibility. However, manually keeping track of all your citations across multiple platforms can be time-consuming and prone to errors. This is where Yext comes in - Yext simplifies the process of managing citations, ensuring your business information is accurate, consistent, and up to date across the web.

In this article, we’ll explore how Yext makes citation management easier and more effective, and how BeFindable’s partnership with Yext ensures that our clients get the most out of this powerful tool as part of our subscription plans.

What Is Yext?

Yext is a platform that allows businesses to manage their location data across various online directories, review sites, and social media platforms from a single dashboard. Instead of manually updating your business’s information on multiple websites, Yext enables you to sync your data across more than 200 platforms, including Google, Yelp, Facebook, and more.

By using Yext, businesses can save time, ensure consistency, and improve their local SEO efforts by maintaining accurate citations across all major platforms.

1. Consistency Across All Platforms

One of the most significant factors in local search ranking is the consistency of your business’s NAP information. If your business details vary across different directories or platforms, it can confuse both customers and search engines, leading to a drop in your local rankings. Inconsistent citations also negatively impact your brand’s credibility and trustworthiness.

Yext solves this problem by allowing you to update your business’s information in one place and push those changes to all connected directories instantly. This ensures that your NAP data is consistent across the web, which improves your search rankings and builds trust with both search engines and customers.

How BeFindable Can Help: Through our partnership with Yext, we make it easy for businesses to maintain accurate and consistent citations. This service is included in our subscription plans, so you can rest assured that your business information is always up to date across all relevant platforms.

2. Automated Citation Management

For businesses with multiple locations or those constantly changing details such as hours, promotions, or services, managing citations manually can be a daunting task. Yext automates this process, making it much easier to keep all your business locations and details updated in real-time.

Whether you open a new store, change your business hours, or update your contact details, Yext automatically reflects those changes across all connected platforms. This reduces the risk of outdated information leading to missed business opportunities and ensures that potential customers always have the correct information when searching for your services.

How BeFindable Can Help: As part of BeFindable’s subscription plans, we use Yext to ensure that your business listings are always accurate and updated across all major directories. You’ll never have to worry about incorrect information affecting your visibility or customer experience.

3. Boost Local Search Visibility

Citations play a critical role in local search engine optimisation (SEO). Search engines like Google use citations as a trust signal—if your business is consistently listed across various reputable platforms, Google is more likely to trust your business information and rank you higher in local search results.

Yext ensures that your business is listed on all relevant citation platforms, helping to boost your local search visibility. By managing all your citations through Yext, you can increase your chances of appearing in Google’s Local Pack, Google Maps, and other location-based search results.

How BeFindable Can Help: Our Yext-powered citation management service helps businesses improve their local SEO and ensures you show up where your customers are searching. With BeFindable, your local search visibility will increase, driving more traffic and potential leads to your business.

4. Suppress Duplicate Listings

Duplicate listings can harm your local SEO efforts. If your business has multiple listings with different or outdated information, it can confuse both search engines and potential customers. Yext offers a feature to identify and suppress duplicate listings, ensuring that your business has a clean and accurate online presence.

By suppressing duplicates, Yext helps streamline your citations, ensuring that search engines and customers only see your correct, up-to-date business details. This also prevents competitors or malicious actors from creating fake listings that could harm your business’s reputation.

How BeFindable Can Help: With our Yext integration, BeFindable ensures that duplicate listings are identified and resolved, allowing your business to maintain a clean, accurate, and trustworthy online presence.

5. Monitor and Manage Reviews

In addition to citation management, Yext offers review monitoring tools, allowing businesses to keep track of customer reviews across all platforms from one dashboard. By centralising reviews, Yext makes it easier to monitor customer feedback, respond to reviews promptly, and improve your overall reputation management strategy.

Having access to all your reviews in one place ensures that you can address both positive and negative feedback in a timely manner, improving customer satisfaction and engagement.

How BeFindable Can Help: As part of our subscription plans, BeFindable helps businesses monitor and manage their reviews through Yext, ensuring that your business maintains a positive reputation across the web.

6. Analytics and Reporting

Yext provides detailed analytics and reporting features, allowing businesses to see how their citations are performing, track the number of views and clicks their listings receive, and measure their local SEO efforts. With real-time data, businesses can make informed decisions about their citation management and optimise their strategies to improve performance.

These insights are invaluable for understanding how customers are interacting with your business online and how your citation management efforts are contributing to overall search visibility and lead generation.

How BeFindable Can Help: BeFindable includes Yext’s analytics and reporting features as part of our subscription plans, helping businesses track and improve their local SEO efforts over time.
