Authorize Connection to Yext

Obtain a Yext API key

Log into your Yext account
In the upper-right corner of the screen select Developer Console.
In the Developer Console, click + New App.
Enter the required information and click Create App.
In the Your Apps section of the Developer Console, you should see the new App name and below that, your API Keys. Copy the API Key.

Refer to the Yext Getting Started Guide for any additional assistance in obtaining your API key.

Integrate Yext with Rank Ranger

Open Account Settings > Authorized Connections
Click the Add Connection button to expand the option list.
Click the Yext button.

Yext API Key

Enter the Yext API Key and click the Add button

The new Yext connection should display at the bottom of the connections list as the Business Name followed by the number of locations in the account (e.g., ABC Hotels – 70 locations).

Connect Campaign to Yext

Yext data integration with your rank tracking campaign enables a variety of metrics for display in Insight Graphs and Single Metric Widgets.

From the Home screen, click the Campaign Settings (gear) icon corresponding to the campaign you want to connect to a Yext account and business location.

In the left menu click Other Integrations

Select a Connection from the list and click the Connect button.

A success message should display.

In the Location list, select the Business Location that corresponds to the site being tracked in the campaign and click the Connect button.

Repeat for each location in your Yext account that you want to be connected to a Rank Ranger campaign (1 Yext connection per Rank Ranger campaign).

Location List Missing Locations

The Yext location data that is available in your account is based on the locations as they were when the authorized connection was made. When additional locations are added to a Yext account, you need to refresh the locations list for the account. This can be accomplished as follows.

Refresh Yext Locations

Open a Campaign Settings > Other Integrations screen
Select a Yext Connection as described above
Click the Refresh Locations button
Select the location for the campaign and click Connect.

After refreshing the locations list, if you still do not see all the locations that you expect to see in the list, then please log into the Yext account and confirm that the missing locations have a Yext location ID because that is required in order for Rank Ranger to call the data. It is (or was at one time) possible to create a Yext listing without a location ID, so any listing missing a location ID needs to be updated in the Yext account to enable us to provide data for the location.
