Sync your business information across hundreds of online directories automatically with Yext through the HoopAI Platform.
Yext Listings automatically syncs your business information — name, address, phone number, hours, and more — across hundreds of online directories and local search platforms simultaneously. Consistent, accurate listings help Google trust your business and rank it higher in local search results. Inconsistent listings, on the other hand, cause lost customers and reduced search visibility.
The Manage Listings with Yext lesson in the HoopAI Academy Quick Start
Your business listing exists on hundreds of directories whether you created them or not. Data providers syndicate your information automatically — and often with outdated or incorrect details. When a potential customer searches for you and finds a wrong phone number or old address, they call your competitor instead. Yext pushes one authoritative version of your business information everywhere, simultaneously.
In the HoopAI Platform, navigate to the Reputation section or look for the Listings option in the left sidebar. This is where the Yext Listings integration is managed.

Business hours (including holiday hours if applicable)
Business description
Categories
Photos
Entering business information for distribution across all directories
Accuracy here is critical. This information will be pushed to hundreds of directories. A small error — like an outdated phone number — will be replicated everywhere. Double-check everything before submitting.
4
Connect your listings
Once your information is entered, Yext automatically distributes it to the supported network of directories — including Google, Apple Maps, Facebook, Yelp, Bing, TripAdvisor, and hundreds more.
5
Monitor and manage from one location
All your listings are now managed from a single dashboard. When you need to update your hours, phone number, or address, change it once in the platform — Yext handles the update everywhere else automatically.
Managing all business listings from one central location
Google’s local search algorithm favors businesses with consistent NAP data (Name, Address, Phone) across the web. Inconsistent listings — even small differences like “St.” vs. “Street” — can reduce your local search ranking and confuse potential customers.
Platforms Yext distributes to
Yext distributes your listing to a network that includes major platforms (Google, Apple Maps, Facebook, Yelp, Bing) as well as industry-specific and regional directories. The exact count varies but typically spans hundreds of platforms.
Lead and contact collection
With consistent listings across hundreds of platforms, potential customers can discover your business through a much wider range of search channels. More visibility means more inbound inquiries flowing into your Conversations inbox.
