NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Yext, Inc. (NYSE: YEXT), the leading digital presence platform for multi-location brands, today announced the launch of its expanded AI Review Generation solution.

The AI Review Generation feature streamlines the collection, management, and response workflows within a single platform, simplifying the process of building and safeguarding online reputations.
Recent data from Yext reveals that 71% of customers consider reviews crucial to their trust in a brand, and 69% expect responses within a week.

But we know just how crucial this is to building trust and driving conversions,” said Chris Brownlee, Vice President of Product Management at Yext. “That’s why we are constantly looking for ways to make reputation management as simple as possible. With support across more than 80 review networks, our AI-powered solutions make responding to reviews faster and easier than ever. Now with the ability to request and manage both first- and third-party reviews, brands can more easily improve their star ratings and customer credibility.”

- Review Invitations: Effortlessly invite customers to share their feedback with a selection of pre-built and customizable email and text templates, all featuring relevant brand information.
- Review Generation URLs: Generate more reviews with unique, localized URLs that can be shared through invitations, business cards, ads, and receipts.
