Why do I need Data Aggregators and Duplicate Removal?

Adding Data Aggregators allows you to claim multiple key citations quickly and easily. This rapidly expands the reach of your listings across the local search ecosystem, reaching 1000s of directories, mobile apps, and maps worldwide at a very low cost.

Am I required to renew Data Aggregators/Networks each year?

Whilst it's not compulsory, we advise renewing Data Aggregators each year. If you choose not to, they enter an 'unmanaged' state, which means they could be susceptible to inaccurate data about your company being distributed across their networks.

Duplicate Removal

Having multiple listings with different data can confuse search engines, hurt local rankings, and reduce consumers' trust in your business.

Yext's automated API solution does not identify or fix duplicate listings, and can also miss inaccuracies. For this reason, we strongly recommend adding Duplicate Removal to permanently fix any outstanding issues.
