I was considering ordering Yext, but did not like the idea of having to pay annually. How does your company compare on cost and more importantly the services offered. Does Yext provide any service that you do not?

A: Hey Janelle! Great questions.

On cost, we're a one time fee vs an annual cost. So we're going to save you a lot of money in the long run. Please refer to our website to get cost details: locallistingninja.com

On the services, with Yext if you do not renew annually they say your listings will be "reverted" basically meaning they go back to the way they used to be before you used Yext, which means essentially most of your listings will be gone if they weren't on the sites to begin with pre-Yext. Basically, you are not in control of your listings and you have to keep paying Yext to keep them up there. With us, we submit to more listings than Yext and you actually own your listings and they can't be taken away from you. They're in your name and are there permanently for as long as you choose. You also get access to the listings as well.

Yext Powerlistings does not provide a service that we do not besides an online dashboard (although we are working on one) where you can change your listings at any time. With us you have access to your listings and can go in there and change them at any time you wish but you have to change each one individually. We also have a change service where we will change them for you. The theory behind our competitive advantage here is that you won't need to change your name, address, or phone on your listings that often if ever. Why keep paying $500 a year for a privilege you never even use? You could just use our change service when you need to change something and come out much better off cost wise.

Does that all make sense?
