Yext

Yext, Inc., the leading digital presence platform for multi-location brands, announced the launch of Yext Social, a cutting-edge AI-powered social media management solution that transforms how brands manage local customer engagement at scale globally. Yext Social empowers brands to connect with customers where it matters most—locally—through personalized, data-driven content, all managed on a single platform.

Yext Social represents a major expansion of the Yext platform. Leveraging advanced AI technology, Yext Social simplifies content creation, optimizes engagement strategies, and delivers actionable insights, enabling brands to manage both corporate and local social media with ease from the Yext platform.

“Social media is a critical touchpoint for brands to build trust and engage with customers on a personal level,” said Chris Brownlee, Vice President of Product Management at Yext. “Yext Social equips our customers to make local connections through personalized content, with access to the insights they need for fast and easy optimization of their strategy. We’re especially proud of the feature that allows brands to customize their posts for each social network, allowing users to post at the local level while maximizing each social network’s capabilities.”

Key features and benefits include:

  • AI-Driven Content Creation: Generate tailored social media captions and posts that reflect local distinctions and audience preferences, saving time and enhancing relevancy.
  • Unified Platform Experience: Manage corporate and local social accounts from a single interface, streamlining workflows and providing consistency across all channels.
  • Advanced Analytics and Insights: Track engagement metrics and measure the success of local social efforts, helping brands refine their strategies and maximize return on investment.

Brands like Direct Clicks Inc. are already experiencing the benefits of Yext Social. “The AI tool for caption generation is a game-changer for us,” said Kiana To, Social Media Specialist at Direct Clicks Inc. “It’s made our social strategy more efficient and aligned with our company’s direction. We’re excited to see how Yext Social continues to evolve.”

The launch of Yext Social follows Yext’s recent acquisition of Hearsay Systems, a global leader in digital client engagement for financial services. Hearsay’s offerings include Hearsay Social, a leading social media management tool for financial services companies looking to deliver compliant customer engagement and communications. Yext Social expands the product portfolio, providing an AI-powered social media management solution that supports multi-location brands in managing their digital presence across social channels. This addition further strengthens Yext’s position as a comprehensive digital presence platform.
