FAQs
“I don’t want another platform. We already have Yext for listings.”
That’s exactly the problem—you need three platforms where one should work.
The hidden cost of fragmented tools:
With Yext alone:
- Yext handles listings ✓
- Separate tool for social media
- Another tool for review management
- Yet another for performance analytics
- Multiple logins, disconnected data, no unified view
With PromoRepublic:
- Listings, social, reviews, analytics in one platform
- Single login for HQ and local teams
- Unified performance dashboard
- Lower total cost, higher adoption
Why switch from Yext mid-contract?
Three reasons networks make the switch:
- Need more than listings
Structured data doesn’t activate local teams. You need social, content, and reviews in one place, not patched together. - Can’t prove ROI beyond search
Yext shows listing accuracy. PromoRepublic shows adoption, engagement, and marketing impact across every location. - Support and lock-in frustration
1.5/5 Trustpilot rating. 3-5 year contracts. Difficulty decoupling when you want to leave. PromoRepublic: 4.8/5 CSAT, flexible contracts, white-glove migration.

How is PromoRepublic different from Yext?
Yext: Search-first platform optimizing knowledge graphs and structured data
PromoRepublic: Activation-first platform combining listings, social, reviews, and analytics
The structural difference:
Yext helps you get found in search.
PromoRepublic helps you get found AND get chosen through active local marketing.
Why this matters:
Being listed ≠ being visible.
Being visible ≠ being chosen.
Being chosen = social proof + fresh content + responsive reviews + accurate listings.
PromoRepublic delivers all four. Yext delivers one.
The outcome difference:
With Yext: Clean data, good search rankings, but local teams still don’t market
With PromoRepublic: Clean data + 75-80% locations actively posting, responding, engaging
Can we pilot before switching our whole network?
Yes. Most networks start with:
- One brand or region
- 20-100 locations
- 60-90 days
What you’ll prove:
- Higher adoption than Yext (75-80% vs. unknown)
- Faster activation (24 days vs. 3-6 months)
- Unified insights (not fragmented across tools)
- Lower total cost of ownership
Then roll out to full network with confidence.
Which platform actually drives same-store growth?
The one that gets 75-80% of locations executing daily, not just keeping listings accurate.
Yext gives you discoverability.
PromoRepublic gives you discoverability + activation.
Search optimization is table stakes.
Local marketing execution is the differentiator.
Because accurate listings don’t drive revenue. Activated locations do.
