DALLAS, March 30, 2015 – Dex Media, Inc. (NASDAQ:DXM) and Yext extended and expanded their five-year-old agreement to help small and medium-sized businesses enhance their Internet presence. Partners since 2010, Yext and Dex Media’s strong relationship has resulted in the development of unique products benefitting entrepreneurial businesses across America.

“We are proud to expand our partnership with Yext,” Gordon Henry, chief marketing officer, said. “Together we create marketing solutions used by tens of thousands of businesses to enhance their Internet presence and get more customers. Yext custom designed key elements just for us, working concurrently with our expert knowledge of each small and mid-sized business to create improved features addressing the needs of clients.”

For example, Yext built the custom Reputation Monitoring feature for Dex in 2010, which became Review Monitoring, a core part of Yext’s Digital Presence Management software. Review Monitoring allows small businesses to easily keep track of the reviews coming to their listings from one place.

Currently, Dex uses a custom-built product called Competitor Watch, allowing companies to see reviews, ranks and average-star ratings for up to five competitors. The product was built and deployed by Yext with Dex’s guidance in 2015.

“Dex Media is one of our largest and most innovative partners,” said Howard Lerman, Yext Co-Founder & CEO. “They’ve accelerated their digital transformation with presence management, uniquely positioning them to bring the most effective SaaS marketing automation solutions to small businesses.”

As part of the agreement, Yext and Dex will continue to team up in the creation and testing of new services.
