local-seo-and-business-listings

The write up on this product seemed like I was going to get at least something good for the free part but it doesn't give you anything for free. This is one of the most expensive monthly local SEO plugins I have seen.

Isn't even useable, wants to charge you for anything. Waste of time.

So this person created this plugin and says you can scan you business with a listing scan for all your local listings. The problem is they are simply using the "Yext" software platform under their own account. What does this mean? This means every business you enter into the scan, the results will be sent to the developer of this plugin or whoever is the partner on that Yext account. Go to www.yext.com and you will see for yourself that it's the same exact scan. I know because I am already a Yext partner and I know that if you fill out a scan on the Yext homepage that gets sent direcrtly to the sales team at yext and is their own lead generation tool. Using this tool if you are a web developer or seo person will seriously hurt your business by sending the scan results directly to a competitor who will then solicit your lead, prospect, or client. You tell me if this is a good idea...and no matter what the response is, the fact is your scan results are not owned nor seen by only you...why even take a chance at losing business? This might be a great plugin however, until the listing scan is fixed and/or you can attach your own Yext account to this plugin, then it's not worth even a look.

For one...the website linking to the paid service and plans needs to be in the description or installation text at a minimum. Anything else seems like a scam. We also need each pricing tier listed plainly. Why are you hiding this? At any rate, I can't get anywhere...I click on the local seo tab, and no option to sign in and create an account appears. I click on the upgrade tab, again nothing. Scratch that...I as everyone should, run my site using https/ssl apparently those tabs are unsafe and not secure. Why would I sign in and register to a insecure site?

End of review, plugin deactivated and removed. Good luck with your future get-rick-quick ideas.

This plugin is absolutely useless. All it does is demand money for it to do anything. It uses an iFrame to plug your business information into YEXT.com's FREE local SEO analysis tool, then demands money (every month - they even have a $599/month package!) if you want the plugin to actually DO anything! They also require that you sign up for an account with them. I'm convinced the good reviews of this plugin are FAKE because it does absolutely NOTHING without having to shell out a bunch of money every month! Horrible.
