Our take
The way people discover brands has changes dramatically over the years and it's no longer just about showing up on a website or ranking well on Google. Customers are finding businesses through AI-powered search, social platforms, maps, voice assistants, apps, and direct messages, often all at once. in this always-on world, brands need to be accurate and visible across countless digital touchpoints, or they risk being overlooked entirely.
Yext is a local brand visibility platform helping businesses make sure customers can find them wherever discovery happens. By using billions of trusted data points, Yext gives companies a clear picture of how their brand is performing and provides the tools they need to manage lising, content, and engagement across search engines, social platforms, websites, and emerging AI experiences. So essentially, they help brands stay visible, trustworthy, and in cotnrol of how they show up online.
The company has been around long enough to see the digital landscape change again and again, yet it continues to adapt as new technologies reshape how people search and engage. By evolving alongside AI and modern discovery tools, Yext has proven it's not just keeping up with the pace of change but helping brands confidently navigate whatever comes next.
