Accurate branch data has driven more appointments and improved customer review management
The platform can be improved by optimizing the automated AI responses and providing different templates of responses available in the review and reputation management section. Additionally, allowing various integration types would be beneficial. Although Yext Digital Presence Platform has API integrations with 200 publishers, allowing other types of integrations such as those connected through a CDN would enhance functionality. Regarding the user interface, there are no concerns. However, with reporting, it would have been beneficial to have direct integration to Data Studio or other reporting systems where we could grab data and display it in a more friendly, visual way.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Optimizely can work for a lot more things than only testing; it is a pretty easy yet powerful tool."
"Customer service is excellent!"
"Dead simple A/B testing with no code knoweldge needed."
"ROI: Infinite! (Got 3X conversion improvement using suggestions given by the product during the free evaluation period)"
"Customer service is wonderful."
"Optimizely is a great product that has inspired a great community and is the standard for A/B testing."
"Customer service is the best in the testing industry; transparent support along with a very strong community."
"For example, there is a salon that I started working with, which was generating almost 20k a month, and after I used Yext Digital Presence Platform with them, within six months they increased profit to 60k."
"The main benefit of using Yext Digital Presence Platform is that we no longer have to update data manually across multiple entities or social media platforms, as the process is now automated."
"Yext Digital Presence Platform has positively impacted my organization by streamlining everything; because we have so many parks, it made the process a lot more streamlined and a lot easier to manage."
"Direct Listing Syncing, the Yext Knowledge Graph, and Yext Pages were the most impactful features because they improved our organic results and had a positive impact on our business."
"The best features Yext Digital Presence Platform offers is that it is easy to navigate, it is simple to use, and I appreciate the user-friendly way that you are able to use it."
"I think the best features Yext Digital Presence Platform offers are the basic create, read, update, and delete ones, but they are implemented properly and they have an API for other companies to integrate with, which is more than I can say about other online platforms."
 

Cons

"Exporting statistics provide more statistical data."
"There were previously issues with experiments saving as expected in Classic."
"Verifying goals could be easier."
"Does not allow multipage variants (i.e. allows only variants in elements inside one page)."
"Better communication with 3rd party implementation"
"When testing images or anything involving JavaScript or more than text, they can really slow down the load performance of a page."
"I believe we could not delete hotels that we created in Yext Digital Presence Platform, so we ended up with a dashboard that had hundreds of hotels that we could not delete from Yext Digital Presence Platform, even though we deleted them from our side."
"I think Yext Digital Presence Platform's pricing, setup cost, and licensing could be refined better."
"My experience with customer support was that it was a little bit challenging."
"One thing that could be improved is the real-time updates. Currently, when we send changes to Yext Knowledge Graph, the updates are reflected in the analytics tool with some delay, around thirty minutes to an hour."
"The platform can be improved by optimizing the automated AI responses and providing different templates of responses available in the review and reputation management section."
