Yext replacement
Leaving Yext? A simpler, cheaper way to keep your profile right.
Unlike Yext, there is no platform fee keeping your Google Business Profile work alive. The optimization lives on your own profile whether you pay us again or not. If you want us to keep it active, monthly upkeep is $149/mo: posts, photos, review prompts, and Q&A monitoring, cancel any time. That is a choice, not a subscription you are locked into.
Yext is moving deeper into agentic marketing. Most local businesses need the profile fixed first.
Yext now talks about AI agents, MCP connections, Knowledge Graph data, and competitor visibility. That may fit an enterprise team managing many channels. If you own one local business and your Google Business Profile is incomplete, outdated, or inconsistent, the practical job is smaller: clean up the public facts Google and AI answer tools can actually read.
ProfileBoost keeps that job direct. We optimize the existing profile, document the changes, and leave the work on your Google-owned listing. No agent platform has to stay connected for your categories, services, photos, posts, Q&A, and citation cleanup to remain in place.
Questions before you switch
- Is ProfileBoost a full Yext replacement?
- No. ProfileBoost is narrower. It cleans up and optimizes your existing Google Business Profile rather than replacing a broad listings platform.
- Does ProfileBoost charge a platform fee?
- No. The one-time Google Business Profile optimization is $399. Monthly upkeep is optional and can be canceled any time.
- What happens after the work is done?
- You receive a written summary of the profile changes. Access stays under your control through a revocable Google manager invite.
- What happens to my listings when I cancel Yext?
- Listings that Yext syndicates typically revert to their previous state once you stop paying, because they live in Yext's platform, not on your own profiles. Work done directly on your Google Business Profile stays there whether you keep paying anyone or not.
- Will my Google Business Profile disappear after I leave Yext?
- No. Your Google Business Profile is your own Google-owned asset. Leaving Yext does not remove it. Any optimization done directly on that profile, like the work ProfileBoost does, remains in place because it is not tied to a platform subscription.
- Do I need an agentic marketing platform to show up in AI answers?
- No. AI answer tools need clear public business facts. ProfileBoost focuses on the Google Business Profile fields a local customer or answer engine can read: category, services, hours, location, photos, reviews, posts, Q&A, and citation consistency.
ProfileBoost optimizes your profile against Google's published best practices. Search ranking is determined by Google's algorithm and depends on many factors; we cannot and do not guarantee any specific ranking position.
