FAQ
How is Mapgrid different from Yext?
Yext distributes listings to 100+ directories under enterprise contracts. Mapgrid focuses exclusively on Google Business Profile — where 90% of local search happens — with transparent per-location pricing and no minimum term.
Is Mapgrid cheaper than Yext?
For teams that only need Google Business Profile management (not Bing, Apple Maps distribution, or a knowledge graph), Mapgrid is typically 60–80% cheaper than an equivalent Yext deployment.
Can Mapgrid replace Yext Pages or Yext Reviews?
Mapgrid replaces the Google Business Profile management piece of Yext (bulk edit + reviews + posts + insights). We do not build hosted store-locator pages — but many customers plug our data into their own site via API.
