Yext referral service (a bit OT for home repair)
Stormin Mormon
up with www.yext.com as a referral provider. They
want to send me calls for my business, and only
charge me $17 per customer, for the online
listing.
I glanced at thier web site, and can't figure out
the nuts and bolts of how they work. Aparently,
they assign me a "local" phone number. From what I
can gather, people call that number, which is
monitored by them. And aparently rings through to
my number. They bill me for whatever sounds like
work, not for tele marketers, and so on.
Anyone out there use this service? Is it worth the
money?

Sounds like a scam, how do you prevent them for biling for every Tom
Dick and Harry, whether it results in business or is a crank call??

Supposedly they monitor for key words, and don't
bill for crank calls.

According to a post on a web forum from a company that tried Yext out,
Yext automatically bills you for _every_ call they send through to
your inbox. Because they use software to screen the calls, some junk
calls do get through. At that point it is up to you to report the
worthless calls to have them removed. Otherwise, you are charged for
them as good calls. And they don't do refunds.

I see a revenge mechanism for use against certain business.

perky lady on the phone sounded just astounded
that I didn't want to sign up. She "couldn't
understand" why. I explained it, and finally told
her it wasn't my job to make her understand. She
closed with "I can't believe you don't want to
grow your busines/CLICK!!!" and the line went
dead. Aparently, they have a very low tolerance
for rejection.

BurnedByYext
I was a YEXT customer and that's what they tell you to get you to sign up
your business for their service. But then they charge you for every crap
call whether it leads to a paying customer or not. I reported garbage
calls that were unintelligable and the transcript they send with the call
was so disheveled and contentless as to be hilarious... yet they insisted
on billing me for such calls. YEXT IS A TOTAL SCAM. Run screaming from
their offers. YEXT ONLY WANTS TO RIP YOU OFF.
