You can suggest additions to the body below using the {{request edit}} template, it should try to neutrally summarize what secondary sources have said. Regarding the first suggestion, "It offers brand updates using its cloud-based network of apps" reads too much like marketing speech and is meaningless to me. – Thjarkur (talk) 20:43, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, please provide a description of the product in non-marketer-speak DenverCoder9 (talk) 20:43, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Written like an advertisement

Key words like "over $2b" (wow!) and marketer-speak like "online brand management". DenverCoder9 (talk) 20:41, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's very unclear from the article what yext even does. DenverCoder9 (talk) 20:45, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
