The AdIQ Advantage

What Yext Can't Do

These are the capabilities that separate a full-service marketing platform from a listings management tool.

AI-Built Websites

Yext can sync your info to directories but can't build you a website. AdIQ creates and manages a custom AI-built site with Site Score tracking for speed, SEO, and mobile performance.

AI Call Intelligence

Yext has zero call tracking. AdIQ's AI receptionist answers calls 24/7, scores every conversation 1-10 with sentiment analysis, and auto-captures leads from missed calls.

Full Ad Management

Yext doesn't touch advertising. AdIQ manages Google Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts for you — with real-time ROAS tracking and spend optimization.

No Lock-In Problem

Cancel Yext and your listings may revert to old data. AdIQ builds citations you actually own. Your business info stays accurate even if you leave.

AI Search Visibility

Yext syncs to traditional directories. AdIQ tracks where your business appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini — the search engines that matter next.

Social & Video Content

Yext doesn't create any content for you. AdIQ handles social media posting 3x/week to daily, plus professional video production on Elite plans.

Pricing Breakdown

What You Actually Pay

Yext charges per-location fees that add up fast for multi-location businesses. AdIQ is one flat monthly fee that includes everything — website, ads, calls, content, and more.
