Our take
Yext seeks to bridge the gap between the online and physical worlds for clients, including FedEx and Citibank, by providing a means of updating company information like store hours, across a multitude of secondary sites.
Yext's view is that the way people use the internet is moving more and more towards people wanting to get answers to questions with as little friction as possible. The company is building a suite of technological solutions to help companies serve up answers to people's questions more easily.
Yext has remained focused on updates and advancements to progress its features, such as the 2023 launch of its conversational AI - Yext Chat - fueling the company's emphasis on building and managing its customer and employee search experiences.
