Knowledge Manager
New platform support for ATMs, drop boxes, charging stations, and retail kiosks
- PACKAGE: Base
- CHANNEL: Direct customers only
With new platform support for ATMs, drop boxes, charging stations, and retail kiosks, you can control and manage key information about these entities with a new, tailored experience. Platform support for these entities is available globally for direct customers of Yext.
Retailers can control data about coin-counting machines, self-serve rental stations, electronics trade-in stations, or other in-store kiosks.
Delivery and logistics companies can help customers find drop boxes and self-service locations.
Automotive companies can highlight vehicle charging stations.
Banks can leverage this update to ensure consumers see accurate information about their ATMs, including the branches or offices in which those ATMs are located.
This update includes a new profile type created specifically for ATMs that includes:
- Tailored subset of fields: The new ATMs profile type excludes fields that are not relevant to ATMs, making the experience of viewing and managing data easy. Fields available in this profile type are: Name, Categories (fixed — see below), Address (except Service Area and Address Hidden), Located In (new — see below), Map Marker, Business Phone, Featured Message, Store ID, Business Hours, Additional Hours Info, Holiday Hours, Websites, Business Logo, and Internal Use Only (Closed, Folder Location, Labels, and read-only Location Type).
- New "Located In" field: Use this field to note ATMs that are located inside branch or office locations. You can only select locations that are present in your account.
- Fixed primary category: For all ATM entities using this profile type, the Primary Category field will be fixed to "ATM". You may not edit this value. ATMs will inherit the same brand categories as the rest of the locations in the account. No additional categories may be added.
- Existing customers who already have ATMs in their accounts can switch these entities to this new profile type. Once this change is made, it cannot be reversed.
Example of an ATM location leveraging the new ATM profile type.
New platform support and the new ATMs profile type are available globally. For entities in markets the PowerListingsⓇ Network publishers below support and which are subscribed to the Starter package or above, the publishers below will display ATMs, dropboxes, charging stations, and retail kiosks as locations, with the noted restrictions.

Knowledge Engine Platform & APIs
New navigation bar & design
- PACKAGE: Base

The navigation bar at the top of the screen has a new ADA/WCAG-compliant design and color scheme.
Request to assign or unassign licenses

In order to apply new licenses, you will need available licenses in your account. You can purchase additional licenses by contacting your Yext Account Manager.
API Updates
- PACKAGE: Base
- CHANNEL: All
The Winter '18 Release includes the below updates to Yext's APIs. To receive updates like these in your inbox, visit Yext's Developer Blog and subscribe to our newsletter.
- Knowledge API
- The Knowledge API now supports filtering by multiple folders. This means you can now return entities that belong to any of multiple folders with one request. Previously, you needed to make one request per folder. This improvement was also made to the Live API, as noted below.
- Listings: List API
- To improve convenience for developers, the Listings: List API now returns results sorted by Publisher Name, with a secondary sort by Location Name.
- Reviews: List API
- You can now set Review Status as a query parameter in the Reviews: List API.
- Review Invitations API
- Review Invitations Webhook: You can now get notified any time a new review invitation is created in your account. The webhook will notify destination apps when they should send a review invitation to consumers.
- Update Invitations Object: When a Review Destinations app sends its own review invitation, it can now update Yext with data about that invitation, such as the time a consumer opened the email or the review that resulted from the invitation.
- Live API
- The Live API now supports filtering by multiple folders. This means you can now return entities that belong to any of multiple folders with one request. Previously, you needed to make one request per folder. This improvement was also made to the Knowledge API, as noted above.
- App Developers can now create consumer-grade apps, like chatbots, that utilize the Live API.
- The Live API now supports sorting by the First Name and Last Name fields, as well as any single-line text custom fields. This allows users to add these fields as sorting parameters in the consumer-grade experiences they power with the Live API, like their Store Locators. If two or more results have the same content in the field chosen as the sorting parameter, the Live API will use distance as a tiebreaker and will return the closer result first.
- Language profile endpoints in the Live API now have a "rendered" param, which includes the whole profile for a given entity in the requested language. Previously, the Live API used to return only fields specific to a given language, and would then need to match those fields to other fields on an entity's profile.
- Scan API
- The Scan API V2 now includes the Pages scan.
Yext for Food
- PACKAGE: Available add-on to Starter
- CHANNEL: All
Yext for Food is a purpose-built, holistic solution that helps restaurant brands control the facts about themselves where consumers search. Restaurant brands around the globe can centralize data about their locations and menus, and publish it across a growing, food-focused network of discovery sites. With customers increasingly searching for menu items like "chicken parmesan" or attributes like "outdoor seating," Yext for Food makes it possible for your business to get found when customers conduct searches like these.
You can create, edit, and manage the facts about your 'Restaurants' via the new Restaurant profile type in Knowledge Manager.
Existing customers will be allowed to switch their restaurants stored as generic 'Locations' to the 'Restaurants' profile type. Please note that once this change is made, it cannot be reversed.
Then, give consumers important details by defining restaurant attributes, such as Meals Served, Attire, and Price Range.
With the ability to add a source URL for each menu item, you can link to dedicated pages where consumers can find even more information about your menu.
Publish your structured menu data across discovery sites like Zomato, Postmates, delivery.com, Google, and Yelp to help engage with your menu directly in search results. You can read more about the new publishers included in the Yext for Food add-on in the Listings section of these Release Notes below.
Ready-made integrations connect Yext to the systems and processes you use everyday, such as OpenMenu, Trabon, Tiger Pistol, and more. You can learn more about the Yext App Directory at www.yext.com/products/apps.

New PowerListingsⓇ Network publishers
- PACKAGE: Starter; some distinctions noted below
- CHANNEL: All
We’re proud to continue enhancing the PowerListingsⓇ Network with new integrations that drive breadth, speed, and accuracy for our customers’ brands in search today. Changes to our network include:
Global
- Available as an add-on to the Starter package, Yext for Food provides connections to a curated network of food-focused endpoints that customers can publish across their optimizing structured menu data and menu URLs. These include:
- Please note, businesses must be customers of both delivery.com and Yext to take advantage of this functionality.
- delivery.com is an online ordering site that supports restaurant businesses in the United States. Yext customers can update key restaurant data, including hours of operation and website URL, and, add their structured menu information that consumers can engage with directly on delivery.com. Delivery.com also supports features like Review Monitoring.
- MenuPix is an online menu provider that supports restaurant businesses in the United States. Yext customers can update their key restaurant data and add their structured menu information that consumers can engage with directly on MenuPix.

- Zomato is an online ordering and reservation site that supports restaurant businesses around the globe. Yext customers can update their key restaurant data and add their structured menu information that consumers can engage with directly on Zomato.
Please note, if you are a Yext for Food customer, you will be able to view your status of your Listings on these publishers in your dashboard by the end of February.
Germany
- Branchenbuch Deutschland is one of Germany’s original online directories. Yext customers can update key digital knowledge, like Hours of Operation, Menu URLs, Product and Service Lists, Payment Methods Accepted, and more — in real time for their locations in Germany. Branchenbuch Deutschland also supports features such as Duplicate Suppression, Featured Message, and more.
United Kingdom

United States

CareDash is a healthcare directory that helps patients find, connect with, and make more informed decisions about the doctors and facilities right for them. Yext customers can add details such as degrees, insurance accepted, hours of operation, and even headshots. Caredash supports features such as Duplicate Suppression, Featured Message, and more.
- WhitePages' integration has transitioned from API to submission. Updates to digital knowledge will be processed on a monthly basis.
- CoPilot is no longer part of the PowerListingsⓇ Network in the United States.
Please note, unlike the other features in this release, you do not need to turn on these publishers in order to get your eligible locations live. You can view the status of your Listings on these publishers at any time, directly in the Listings section of your dashboard.
Google Posts available for businesses with fewer than 10 locations
- PACKAGE: Professional (Partner) and Premium (SMB)
- CHANNEL: Partner & SMB
As of October 2017, businesses with fewer than 10 locations can now create and publish Google Posts from within Yext. This feature appears at the Post sub-tab under Listings. Click here to learn more about how to leverage Google Posts for your business.
Unlike the other items included in the Winter '18 Release Notes, eligible customers do not need to toggle on any features to access Google Posts — the feature already appears in their accounts.
WeChat Location Mini Programs
- PACKAGE: Starter; customers must meet specific eligibility requirements
- CHANNEL: Direct customers only
Yext customers who have at least one location in Mainland China, Hong Kong, or Macau can now ensure their location(s) in these market(s) appear on WeChat. Yext can now create and power a Location Mini Program (LMP), equivalent to a mobile store locator inside the WeChat app, for these customers.
The WeChat app currently sees 902M daily users, and WeChat LMPs allow users to discover and share brands' physical locations without leaving the WeChat app.
- WeChat LMPs are linked to Tencent Map, so Yext must also power a customer's Tencent listings in order to create the WeChat LMP.
- Once the LMP is created, Yext users can update their Hours, Phone Number, and Photos on WeChat via API.
- If a customer has locations in additional markets beyond Mainland China, Hong Kong, or Macau (e.g., a retailer has 100 locations in the United States, 10 in Mainland China, and 1 in Hong Kong), only those locations in Mainland China, Hong Kong, or Macau will appear in the WeChat LMP.
If you have locations in Mainland China, Hong Kong, or Macau, reach out to your Yext representative to activate your WeChat LMP today!
Pages
New Schema types added to Knowledge Tags
- PACKAGE: Add-on to Base and above
- CHANNEL: All
We continue to update Knowledge Tags with the latest Schema.org tagging. All customers can now tag their Facebook URLs with SameAs, and food customers can now leverage the Price Range field.
- Knowledge Tags has added SameAs property to all Schema types so that you can identify to intelligent services which Facebook page maps to your brand.
- For our food customers Knowledge Tags will now automatically update your schema to include price range so that intelligent services can share this information with consumers.
- "Apartment" had been added as a Schema type. Now local businesses that fall under this category will automatically identify that they are Apartments to intelligent services.
If you have Yext Knowledge Tags, the relevant Schema types will be automatically added to your website! Click here to learn more about how Knowledge Tags can help your business.
Reviews
With the Winter '18 Release, we’ve improved Yext Reviews to help you better understand your reviews and what they tell you about your business. This added functionality will power new ways of engaging with customers.
Sentiment Analysis
- PACKAGE: Ultimate
- CHANNEL: All
With Sentiment Analysis, you can now track Keywords that appear in positive or negative reviews and show the star rating, number of mentions, and sentiment score for each keyword.
To gain further insights from your reviews, group Keywords into Collections and track which Collections are associated with positive or negative reviews. For example, a restaurant could create Collections for different meals like "breakfast", "lunch", and "dinner", and then track the modifiers associated like "delicious", "fast", "hot", "slow", or "service" to see which of these impact their reviews positively or negatively.
Sentiment Analysis is available globally, but will only calculate a sentiment score for English-language reviews. Sentiment Analysis will still capture keywords and associated adjectives for reviews in non-English languages.
Reviews Competitive Intelligence
- PACKAGE: Ultimate; also available as part of the Competitive Intelligence add-on to Base and above*
- CHANNEL: All
The context of a location’s rating can be just as important as the rating itself. A 3-star rating is great if your competitor’s nearby locations average a 2.5, but it’s awful if those same locations average a 4.5. New in the Winter '18 Release, Reviews Competitive Intelligence enables Yext users to compare their average rating to up to 5 local competitors of their choice.
In the Knowledge Manager, choose up to 5 competitors to which you’d like to compare your ratings. Choose global competitors in bulk for all your locations, or choose specific local competitors for each location.
Once you select competitor names in the Knowledge Manager, Yext will automatically detect the nearest location of your chosen competitor(s) to each of your locations and compare their review data to yours.
We’ve also added new Analytics modules to the Reviews Overview tab for a high-level overview of how your locations compare to competitors you choose.
The new "Competitors Average Rating" section (just below the current percentile scan data) will display "all-time" data comparing your locations to the chosen competitors.
*Note: if you purchase the Competitive Intelligence add-on with the Base or Starter packages, you will be able to select up to 5 competitors to monitor, but you will not be able to compare these competitors’ ratings to your own ratings. This is because Yext requires the Review Monitoring feature to pull your own reviews into the dashboard, and Review Monitoring is in the Professional package. To leverage the full power of Reviews Competitive Intelligence, purchase the Ultimate package, or purchase the Professional package and the Competitive Intelligence add-on.
Automatically apply review labels
- PACKAGE: Ultimate

You will now be able to set up filters so that as new reviews come in with specified criteria, labels will automatically be applied.

Search Tracker updates
- PACKAGE: Ultimate + Available as part of the Competitive Intelligence add-on to Base and above
