Taking control of online identity has increased reputation and organic growth across platforms
Yext Digital Presence Platform's best features include Power Listing, reputation management, and Power Posting. Listing management, reputation management, and hosting stand out for me because they helped in many ways. I can respond quicker to any reviews or anything that is being said about my business across all platforms and in one dashboard, which helps manage it effectively. For my clients that depend heavily on reputation, using Yext Digital Presence Platform gives them more control over what is being said and spread around regarding them. Yext Digital Presence Platform has positively impacted my organization in many ways, showing that by using Yext Digital Presence Platform we can show immediate results and build a solid foundation for the long run. Many businesses ended up trusting us because they see how their business is increasing on a daily basis just by using Yext Digital Presence Platform and creating these platforms. We show them a scan tool where they can scan their business information across the net, and they will see their information.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dead simple A/B testing with no code knoweldge needed."
"Customer service is excellent!"
"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."
"Optimizely can work for a lot more things than only testing; it is a pretty easy yet powerful tool."
"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 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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Verifying goals could be easier."
"Better communication with 3rd party implementation"
"There were previously issues with experiments saving as expected in Classic."
"Does not allow multipage variants (i.e. allows only variants in elements inside one page)."
"When testing images or anything involving JavaScript or more than text, they can really slow down the load performance of a page."
"Exporting statistics provide more statistical data."
"I think Yext Digital Presence Platform's pricing, setup cost, and licensing could be refined better."
"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."
