Vizoryo vs Yext
Yext optimizes for legacy directories. Vizoryo optimizes for AI assistants.
TL;DR
Yext is the dominant enterprise platform for keeping business listings in sync across hundreds of directories — Yelp, Apple Maps, Facebook, Bing Places. Vizoryo is built for the next layer: making your business structured and citable inside AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews). They solve different problems and many businesses will use both.
Side by side
| Feature | Vizoryo | Yext |
|---|---|---|
| Primary use case | AI assistants cite your business in their answers | Your business info stays consistent across 200+ legacy directories |
| Where you appear | ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews | Yelp, Apple Maps, Google Business Profile, Facebook, Bing Places, TripAdvisor, etc. |
| Data layer | schema.org JSON-LD profiles built for LLM ingestion | Directory API syncs (each network has its own schema) |
| Pricing model | Indexed tier free; Expanded and Managed are paid tiers — current prices at vizoryo.com/pricing | Enterprise pricing (typically several hundred USD/mo per location, annual contracts) |
| Best for | SMBs, agencies, anyone whose customers are starting to ask AI assistants for recommendations | Multi-location enterprises that need bulletproof listings consistency across legacy networks |
| Setup time | Free audit in minutes, publish in 24 hours after claim | Onboarding measured in weeks, especially at multi-location scale |
| AI crawler allowlist | robots.txt explicitly invites GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended | Not a primary focus — Yext output is directory listings, not AI-readable JSON-LD |
| Public index | Every published profile lives on a structured public URL that LLMs crawl | Data lives inside partner directories, not on a single canonical Yext URL |

Frequently asked questions
- Can Vizoryo replace Yext?
- For most SMBs and agencies, yes — if your priority is AI search visibility rather than legacy directory sync. For multi-location enterprises that depend on Yelp, Apple Maps or TripAdvisor traffic, Yext is still the right tool, and Vizoryo complements it as the AI layer.
- Is Vizoryo cheaper than Yext?
- Yes. Vizoryo has a free Indexed tier plus paid Expanded and Managed tiers — see vizoryo.com/pricing for current prices. Yext pricing typically starts in the hundreds per month per location with annual contracts.
- Does Vizoryo sync to Yelp and Apple Maps like Yext?
- No. Vizoryo is not a listings sync platform. We structure your business as an AI-readable entity so LLMs can cite it. If you need Yelp and Apple Maps sync, use Yext or a similar tool — and use Vizoryo for the AI layer.
- Can I use Vizoryo and Yext together?
- Yes — they solve different layers. Yext keeps your directory listings consistent; Vizoryo makes your business citable by AI assistants. Many businesses use both.
- How does Vizoryo measure AI visibility?
- Each profile receives an AI Visibility Score (0–100) based on machine readability — schema completeness, service clarity, FAQ depth, contact verifiability, and freshness. The audit is free at vizoryo.com.
