Yext alternative for a small local business
Yext is enterprise listing syndication across a large publisher network, usually priced per location, and listings can depend on staying a customer. Ninja (easyninja.co) is done-for-you Google Business Profile software for a small local business. You connect Google; Ninja helps with categories, descriptions, services, photos, and keywords. Directory sync is an add-on on an allowlist (Google, Apple Maps, Bing, Facebook, Yelp, Instagram, TripAdvisor), not a 200-publisher knowledge graph. If you have 100 locations and need Yext’s network, stay on Yext. If you have one shop and want Google Business Profile handled, use Ninja.
