Digital marketing agencies, advertisers, and SEO specialists.
We use Yext to help manage the listings of our clients and so far so good. They are super responsive and I love how everything is updated pretty quickly when you submit or if you have a question.
They'll threaten to sue you and blah blah blah. Not sure if we are going to pay them or sue for breach.
Having the ability to add menus and have then pushed out to several platforms has been great. It is also nice being able to update Google Local Listing as well as other platforms for hours.
For the price, I just don't see the value, the vast majority of the search engines and directories they list are useless, especially for small businesses.
I love the ease of inputting in new clients and the amazing customer support. All issues are addressed within 24 hours and we have not struggled with any major issues.
Don't fall for the smooth sales guy. Their support is pathetic.
It's an easy to use interface that helps you keep on top of all listings and finds the issues for you. This has saved us countless hours of manual searches.
If they are under review, it doesn't really give an indication of whether there is an issue or not and if a clients listing is cancelled, it doesn't really give you a reason as to why.
SpyFu also gives great SEO tools that make it easy to optimize your website from the paid version, but also from the fantastic free version as well.
The information does not match reality about 50% of the time. I understand it's hard getting this data but i get disappointed.
They for starters have a fantastic keyword search tool. It gives fantastic keyword analytics for competitors, adwords buys and comparisons to what purchases your competitors have made.
You can trust it, but it makes me wonder how accurate they are being. Again, update your site and look and feel, or else die with the rest of the decade-old sites.
The keywords are really interesting it is a very good software for SEO very rich in features.
There are often times where SpyFu fails to show any metrics at all in cases where it should. It doesn't seem like a bug but rather a lack of info.
It provides fantastic insight that helps our digital, creative, Go-To-Market and sales teams create more effective marketing materials and campaigns all while understanding our prospects better.
I can pay for it once, use it extensively for analysis and than close the account. I don't see why I should keep it longer.
George P.: Hi, I'm George and I'm the director of systems development. I give Yext five stars. For more reviews like this, click below. Prior to using Yext, it was very complicated for us to go out and try to manage our business listings via manual entry. We actually got a second agency location, and after we got that second location, it became even more difficult to manage our directory listings for all of the sites on the web. Yext allowed us the opportunity to go in and enter our information one time and send that information to all of the directories on the web. It was a time-saver and it helped our search engine optimization by having the correct and accurate data with all directory listings throughout the web. We learned about Yext from one of our carrier partners, and the thing that was so appealing to us about that over some of the other services was that Yext had the most reach with the directory listings on the web. They also had a terrific interface that allowed us to put the most robust information. We could also include photos, videos, social links. With all of that combined into one dashboard and an easy to find place, it was a no-brainer for us to actually choose Yext. The onboarding with Yext was actually quite easy. We had a representative there help us and train us with the dashboard. Once we became acclimated with how the system worked and the information that it provided to these directory listings, it became quite easy for us to be able to go in, make those changes ourselves and get that information that we needed pushed out to those directories as it changed for us. Anytime that we have needed any kind of support or any help with this, Yext has always been there to support us through it. If search engine optimization is important to your company, if you want to get the best results that you can on the web, one of the most critical keys in addition to the other variables that are involved is that your information is correct across all avenues on the web. This can be anything from directories to search engines, to sites such as Yelp. What this will allow you to do is this will allow you to get that information out there in a short period of time where you are not going to have to use your time or your resources doing this manually and ensuring that all the information is the same as what you entered on the last site. You're going to have one convenient dashboard where you can go in, manage one location, two locations, or even three locations, and make sure that the address, the phone number, the URLs, anything about that business is going to be the same regardless of what site that a visitor goes to across the web.
James R.: My name is James. I'm a digital marketing manager. I'd rate SpyFu five out of five. For more reviews like this, click the link below. I switched to SpyFu from Semrush, which is another online traffic and analytics tool. And I tried a few others, but mainly it was Semrush that I came from before I switched over to SpyFu. One of the biggest reasons I chose SpyFu is I feel like they, like other tools, focus heavily on organic research, and I was more interested in getting paid PPC research and data. SpyFu has a much stronger suite of tools I found for the paid side of things for analyzing the paid traffic and paid keywords and that kind of thing, even competitor analysis. So for those reasons, I decided to switch over to SpyFu, and that's what I use day-to-day now. Getting started on SpyFu is very simple. You create an account and enter in your website and the websites that you want to track. You can even plug in who your competitors are and create reports that on a regular basis it will send out to you. So getting set up was very, very easy. If you're considering using SpyFu, I would say create a free account. They have just a free tier that you can create and then basically get access to everything. They have an awesome paid feature as well where you get access to more reports and more information, things like that. But give it a trial. Also, maybe test some of the other competitors to them and see what fits your style, what you're looking for, whether it's organic or paid that you're more interested in. And yeah, give it a test and see if you like it.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
